Is anyone just about ready to give up and needs encouragement back to the road of victory?
Isaiah 40:28-31
Don't you know that the Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the Earth? He never grows faint or weary. No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
He gives power to those who are tired and worn out; he offers strength to the weak. Even youths will become exhausted and young men will give up. But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary They will walk and not faint.

Hi Jim and Betty,
Those are awesome thoughts, and it's wonderful to be able to appreciate the handiwork of the Lord...and you're right, Jim--the Holy Spirit never fails us just when we need Him the most!
(How does the song go? "He may not come when you call Him....but He's right on time"!)
Thank you both,
CBJ

The Rose
Living our lives is like trying to open a rose with our bare hands. If we try to force things we only end up doing damage.
But if we are patient and leave things to God's design, we are blessed with a beautiful rose. Trust in Him who opens up all good things to us. (Unknown )
I am having a hard time with this one to-day. Sometimes it seems as if God allows our patience to be tried beyond anything we can bear, but we have to keep in mind that he is always in control.

The Quilt
.
As I faced my Maker at the last Judgment,
I knelt before the Lord along with the other souls.
Before each of us laid our lives,
like the squares of a quilt, in many piles.
An angel sat before each of us sewing quilt
squares together into tapestries that represented our lives.
As my angel took each piece of cloth off the pile,
I noticed how ragged and empty each of my squares was.
They were filled with giant holes.
Each square was labeled
with a part of my life that had been difficult,
the challenges and temptations
I was faced with in everyday life.
I saw hardships that I had endured,
which were the largest holes of all.
I glanced around me. No one else had such squares.
Other than a tiny hole here and there, the other tapestries
were filled with rich color and bright hues of worldly fortune.
I gazed upon my own life and was disheartened.
My angel was sewing the ragged pieces of cloth together,
threadbare and empty.
Finally, the time came when each life was to be displayed,
held up to the light. . . the scrutiny of truth.
The others arose, each in turn, holding up their tapestries.
So filled their lives had been!
My angel looked upon me, and nodded for me to arise.
My gaze dropped to the ground in shame.
I hadn't had all the earthly fortunes.
I had had love in my life, and laughter.
But there had also been trials of illness and death,
and false accusations that took from me my world as I knew it.
I had to start over many times. I often struggled with
the temptation to quit, only to somehow muster
the strength to pick up and begin again.
I had spent many nights on my knees in prayer,
asking for help and guidance in my life.
I had often been held up to ridicule, which I
endured painfully; each time offering it up
to the Father in hopes that I would not melt
within my skin beneath the critical
gaze of those who unfairly judged me.
And now, I had to face the truth. My life was what
it was, and I had to accept it for what it had been.
I arose and slowly lifted the combined
squares of my life to the light.
An awe-filled gasp filled the air.
I gazed around at the others who stared at me with eyes wide.
Then, I looked upon the tapestry before me.
Light flooded the many holes, creating an image.
The face of Christ.
Our Lord then stood before me, with warmth and love in His eyes.
He said, "Every time you gave over your life to Me,
it became My life, My hardships, and My struggles.
Each point of light in your life is when you stepped aside
and let Me shine through, until there was more
of Me than there was of you.
May all our quilts be threadbare and worn, allowing Christ to shine through.

So if you feel a brush of wings,
Or a soft breeze fills the air;
Just know its angels watching you,
Because of whispered prayer.

There are two ways of looking at life - one is that nothing is a miracle and the other is that everything is a miracle.
