"Walk in the light - and thine shall be
A path, though stormy, bright:
For God in love shall dwell with thee -
And God Himself is light!"

All sufferings, if my Lord be near;
Sweet pleasures mingle with the pains,

All that thou hast, and all thou art:
Renounce all strength, but strength divine,
And peace shall be forever thine."

"GOD WILL MAKE A WAY"

"God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way,
He works in ways we cannot see,
He will make a way for me.
He will be my guide,
Hold me closely to His side,
With love and strength for each new day,
He will make a way,
He will make a way."

"When it's bad, it's men.
When it's evil, it's the devil.
When it doesn't make sense, it's God."
(Winston Nunez)
***************************************

"And He said, 'With what can we compare
the kingdom of God, or what parable shall
we use to illustrate and explain it?
It is like a grain of mustard seed, which,
when sown upon the ground, is the smallest
of all seeds upon the earth; Yet after it
is sown, it grows up and becomes the
greatest of all garden herbs and puts out
large branches, so that the birds of the
air are able to make nests and dwell in
its shade.'"
(Mark 4:30-32) (The Amplified Bible)
****************************************

"In his Sunday morning sermon, a preacher recently announced that there are 726 different kinds of sin. Since that Sunday morning, he has been besieged with requests for the list, mostly from people who are afraid that they are missing something." (Charles & Frances Hunter - Healing Through Humor)

God hides Himself to enlarge our faith.

When God is silent, pursue Him even harder. *******************************************

"For you He walked along the path of woe,
He was sharply struck with His head bent low.
He knew the deepest sorrow, pain, and grief,
He knew long endurance with no relief,
He took all the bitter from death's deep cup,
He kept no blood drops but gave them all up.
Yes, for you, and for me, He won the fight
To take us to glory and realms of light."
(L.S.P. / Streams In The Desert)

"So our aim is to please Him always in
everything we do, whether we are here
in this body or away from this body and
with Him in heaven. For we must all
stand before Christ to be judged and
have our lives laid bare - before Him.
Each of us will receive whatever he
deserves for the good or bad things he
has done in his earthly body. It is
because of this solemn fear of the Lord,
which is ever present in our minds, that
we work so hard to win others..."
(2 Corinthians 5: 9-11) (The Living Bible)

"Let me give you an example of something
that seems absolutely abnormal and yet it's
the most normal thing in the world when one
has the Kingdom of God within. In one of
Jesus' discussions, He said, 'Be ye therefore
perfect, even as your Father which is in
heaven is perfect.' (Matthew 5:48)
He was referring to perfect love and Jesus
gave us an example, 'Whosoever shall smite
thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the
other also. And if any man take...away thy
coat, let him have thy cloke also...Love
your enemies" (Matthew 5:38,40,44).
You do not get rid of your neighbor by
hating him. By not loving him, you transform
him into a problem and he is back on your
hands, not as a neighbor, but as a problem.
You have broken the law of human relationship.
In loving your unlovable neighbor, however,
you have a neighbor and a friend and you no
longer have a problem. That is why, beloved,
living the Christian life IS the normal life.
You will find the solution to your problems
when the Kingdom of God is within, and Christ
is the King of your life."
(Kathryn Kuhlman - Lord, Teach Us To Pray)

"Sometimes I'm sad. I know not why
My heart is sore distressed;
It seems the burdens of this world
Have settled on my heart.
And yet I know...I know that God
Who doeth all things right
Will lead me thus to understand
To walk by FAITH...not SIGHT.
And though I may not see the way
He's planned for me to go...
That way seems dark to me just now
But oh, I'm sure He knows!
Today He guides my feeble step
Tomorrow's in His right...
He has asked me to never fear...
But walk by FAITH...not SIGHT.
Some day the mists will roll away,
The sun will shine again.
I'll see the beauty in the flowers.
I'll hear the bird's refrain.
And then I'll know my Father's hand
Has led the way to light
Because I placed my hand in His
And walked by FAITH...not SIGHT."

"THE ANSWER TO your most urgent need is
close - much closer than you ever imagined.
Just a word, spoken from your heart, can
cause life's darkest clouds suddenly to
disappear. It's time to stop thinking
that God is an unapproachable spirit
residing millions of miles away. The
Father is so near that you can talk to
Him at any moment, and His Spirit is so
close that He can give you comfort,
peace, and direction. All you have to
do is ask and trust that He will act.
What I have found in the Spirit is
not some mystery-shrouded secret. It
is as real as life itself and as close
as your very heartbeat."
(Benny Hinn - The Miracle of Healing)
