The CROSS for the Sincerity of Others - THAT is Love
6/10/2008
(The Flower, RF)
“Some do not honestly love—
but rather love the idea of being loved.
True love is not of such bestial laws.”
(Song of Solomon 2:15, 1Cor.13)

No Matter What Jesus, I'm Following YOU!
7/5/2001
“Some men will follow Christ on certain conditions—if He will not lead them through rough roads; if He will not enjoin them any painful tasks; if the sun and wind do not annoy them; if He will remit a part of His plan or order. But the true Christian, who has the spirit of Jesus will say, as Ruth said to Naomi, ‘Wither thou goest I will go,’ whatever difficulties and dangers may be in the way.” ...“Half our difficulties in doing anything worthy of our high calling, is the shrinking anticipation of its possible after-consequences. Ah, but we can TRUST him for all!” 9:51 a.m.
Settle Now to Be Men and Women of Faith
6/2/1998
A simple thought... What is the measure of a man of God, or a woman of God? Not how they do when provision is plentiful, emotions are pleasant, strength is available, or affirmations abound. But rather, will they be faithful, stable, sacrificial, obedient, loving, and solid in prayer and the sowing of good seed... when all is NOT well, or fun, or easy, or seemingly “fruitful?” Determine NOW that you’ll be a man of the womb and Spirit of Yesu, or a woman of the heart and soul of God Almighty... when the opportunities come your way. 11:58 a.m.
More Blessed to Give - Childcare Thought
7/4/2004
Childcare “thought for the day”... Since, it’s “more blessed to give, than to receive” according to our Master, please make certain, Ladies, that you are OFFERING more hours of childcare and housecleaning and _____ to other ladies.... than you are asking FOR. “Kingdom Business” childcare needs are, of course, different than other kinds of requests. In such a case, it is a privilege to be with others’ children or clean another’s home while they are doing lasting Work for Jesus, or getting a breather from said Work. We “share in the Reward” when we offer even “a cup of water” in that scenario. Sensitivity is Key, here, and we have HIM within to help us See all things. 8:58 a.m.
Our Little Stay on Earth :)
8/24/2009
“A little stay on earth will make heaven more heavenly. Nothing makes rest so sweet as toil. Our battered armor and scarred countenances will render more illustrious our victory above, when we are welcomed to the seats of those who have overcome the world. We should not have full fellowship with Christ if we did not for a while sojourn below, for he was baptized with a baptism of suffering among men, and we must be baptized with the same if we would share his kingdom. Fellowship with Christ is so honorable that the sorest sorrow is a light price by which to procure it.” (C. Spurgeon) —melissa 10:04 a.m.
