Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief

 



“Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world’s grief.
 Do justly now, love mercy now, walk humbly now.
 You are not obligated to complete the work,
 but neither are you free to abandon it.”
~ The Talmud

Wishing to do the will of God

Daily Heavenly Manna

I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Hosea 6:6


HE who gives his will, his heart, to the Lord, gives all; he who gives not his will, who comes not in obedience of heart unto the Lord, can offer no sacrifice to the Lord that could be acceptable.
"Behold to obey is better than sacrifice," is a lesson which should be deeply engraved upon the hearts of all the sanctified in Christ Jesus. To have the spirit of obedience is necessary too, and whoever has the spirit of obedience will not only obey the divine will, but will seek to know the divine will more and more that he may obey it. It is of this class that the Scriptures declare, "His word was found and I did eat it;" and again, in the words of our Lord, "I delight to do Thy will, O My God: Thy law is written in My heart." Z.'03-220 R3225:5

Courage is fear that has said its prayers

"Courage is fear that has said its prayers."
- Karl Barth

"And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth,
he began to cry out, and say,
'Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me.'
And Jesus stopped and said, 'Call him here.'
So they called the blind man, saying to him,
'Take courage, stand up! He is calling for you.'"
Mark 10:47, 49

I want to have courage and follow Jesus,
but I am often so weak.
Give me strength o Lord that I can take up the courage
to go through all the problems which surround me.

Dutch version / Nederlands >Moed is angst die haar gebeden heeft gezegd

Forgiveness is a blessing for the one who forgives

"Forgiveness is a blessing for the one who forgives
as well as for the one who is forgiven."
- Alice Gray

"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance:
Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners –
of whom I am the worst.
But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me,
the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display
his unlimited patience as an example for those
who would believe on him and receive eternal life."
1 Timothy 1:15-16

By Christ I am forgiven, I am thankfull for that.
Lord, let me have the power to forgive others even when they did wrong to me.
