Quote of the Day

"Today is a slender bridge which will bear its own load, but it will collapse if we add tomorrow's. In every year there are 365 letters from the King, each with its own message- 'Bear this for Me'. What shall we do with the letters? Open them a day at a time. Yesterday's seal is broken; lay that letter reverently away; yesterday's cross is laid down, never to be borne again. Tomorrow's letter lies on the table; do not break the seal. For when tomorrow becomes today, there will stand beside us an unseen Figure; and His hand will be on our brow, and His gaze will be in our eyes, as He says with a loving smile, 'As thy days, so shall thy strength be'. The golden summary of our life is to be this: as to the past, a record of gratitude; as to the present, a record of service; and as to the future, a record of trust."
( By D.M. Panton; in Streams in the Desert V.II - Mrs. Charles E. Cowman)

Quote of the Day

"The hidden life, a life whose days are spent in communion with God in trying to reach the Source of power is the life that moves the world." 

Quote of the Day

"If any door closes it is only that God is opening a larger one." 

Quote of the Day

"God does not grant the necessary grace before the trial. He builds the bridge when we reach the river. We often fear that we shall sink under the fiery trials that we see others endure. We see in the distance and are afraid of the mystery and anguish of what is to befall us; but we have not yet reached the crises, and grace is not vouchsafed before it is needed. 'Jesus comes with our distress'." (Mrs. Charles E. Cowman)

Quote of the Day

"The chains which bound Peter when he was in prison were struck off. He followed the angel sent to help him. On the way out of the prison they came to an impossible barrier, the iron gate leading into the city. But that 'opened to them of his own accord' (Acts 12:10). 'If you will do the possible things, God will take care of the impossible'. God did nothing for peter that night, that Peter could do for himself. If the iron gate is locked and barred and staring you in the face, God's call is to do for yourself whatever He has asked you to do, and trust Him to do the rest."
(Mrs. Charles E. Cowman)

Quote of the Day

"Is not this steadfastness to mark, to make, the character of your lives? Is it not God's will that we should press steadily on to our goal in obedience to Him, in channels of His choosing, whether in sunshine or shadow, in the cheer of spring or in the chill of winter, neither detained by pleasure nor deterred by pain?" Mrs. Charles E. Cowman 

Quote of the Day

"...When every prop is gone- all else but God- then He knows your heart cry is one of utter dependence upon Him. You can also experience the 'hardest place in life' as being the sweetest. It is there one makes a fresh discovery of God."

Quote of the Day

"For every hill I've had to climb,
 For every stone that bruised my feet,
 For all the blood and sweat and grime,
 For blinding storms and burning heat,
 My heart sings but a grateful song-
 These were the things that made me strong.

 For all the heartaches and the tears,
 For all the anguish and the pain,
 For gloomy days and fruitless years,
 And for the hopes that lived in vain,
 I do give thanks, for now I know
 These were the things that helped me grow!"
