This passage spoke to me this morning…
Every duty calls for more grace than I now possess,
but not more than is found in Thee, the divine treasure
in whom all fullness dwells.
To Thee I repair for grace upon grace,
until every void made by sin be replenished
and I am filled with all Thy fullness.
My my desires be enlarged [...]

When slightly warming a lemon in the microwave so that it gives off more juice, the operative word is slightly. I turned to do something else and left it in for about 30 seconds. Big mistake. When I reached for the lemon, it exploded and shot juice onto my hand and arm, leaving a bleeding [...]

Jesus Your name, Prince of Peace;
Quiets my soul, treasures the least.
In perfect rest You will keep
All whose hope is in You.
Jesus, Your name can silence the storms;
The strivings that trouble our world.
Jesus Your name reveals you as Lord: Oh powerful name!
Jesus Your name, Counsellor;
Wonderful Way, Life’s Comforter.
Spirit of Truth defending me,
Though in me was the [...]

The season of spring is welcome in its freshness. The long and dreary winter helps us to appreciate spring’s genial warmth, and its promise of summer enhances its present delights. After periods of spiritual depression, it is delightful to see again the light of the Son of Righteousness. Our slumbering graces rise from their lethargy, [...]

“And of all words that ever were spoken, were there ever any gentler, tenderer, humbler, lovelier than these? ‘Come unto me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall [...]

Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on His hands,
My name is written on His heart.
I know that while in Heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
When Satan tempts me to despair
And [...]

Verily, we know not what an evil it is to indulge ourselves, and to make an idol of our will… Once I would make much ado, if I saw not the world carved and set in order to my liking; now I am silent, when I see God… is fattening and feeding the children of [...]

Last week, snow. Today, 67 degrees! It’s been a gorgeous day, warm and sunny. I sat on the porch for the first time and started thinking about getting my fingers into some soil and planting flowers. It’s still too early for that in our part of Colorado; we’ll still have cold days and, no doubt, [...]

There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel’s veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.
Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day;
And there have I, though vile [...]
