quotes

My Utmost for His Highest
"The people who influence us the most are not those who detain us with their continual talk, but those who live their lives like the stars in the sky and "the lilies of the field"--simply and unaffectedly.  Those are the lives that mold and shape us.  If you want to be of use to God, maintain the proper relationship with Jesus Christ by staying focused on Him, and He will make use of you every minute you live--yet you will be unaware, on the conscious level of your life, that you are being used of Him."


Common Prayer
"Lord, give us true words to pray for one another.  Burden our hearts with shared sorrows, and delight our spirits with mutual joy.  Let genuine love provoke in us words of blessing and inform our intercessions.  Amen."
