I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem;
they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the LORD,
give yourselves no rest,
and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem
and makes her the praise of the earth.
—Isaiah 62:6-7 (NIV)

“Yet in these thoughts…
Haply I think on thee,
and then my state,
…sings hymns at heaven’s gate,
For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings,
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.”

“‘But where shall I find courage?’ asked Frodo. ‘That is what I chiefly need.’ ‘Courage is found in unlikely places,’ said Gildor. ‘Be of good hope!”

GOD grant me the SERENITY to accept the things I cannot change, COURAGE to change the things I can, and WISDOM to know the difference.

The fact that you are: that you are you. This is all I have left. But it is the whole of love. And nothing can change it.

“Days pass..years vanish..we walk sightless among miracles. Lord,fill our eyes w/seeing..our minds w/knowing..Your Presence,like lightning, illumines the darkness in which we walk.” May we “be ready,pay attention, lest days pass,years vanish,and we walk sightless among miracles.”

“Easter? Our attention’s more on dying than on death..Socrates overcame dying;Christ overcame death. “The last enemy to be destroyed is death” (1 Cor. 15:26)..overcoming dying is within the realm of human possibilities;overcoming death means resurrection.”

“with the death of Jesus the disciples saw all hope dashed. Scattered from each other, they brooded in hopeless sorrow about what had happened. Only when we can take the death of Jesus just as seriously as they did, will we rightly understand” —Bonhoeffer

In the middle of the night
Wakened by the wind
It was the presence of the pain
I could not escape
It wrapped around my soul
Like a ball and chain
All of us have a heartache
All of us have been stained
All of us long for freedom
There's only One who can break
This ball and chain
the Word of God isn’t received by faith if it flits about in the top of the brain,but..takes root in the depth of the heart that it may be an invincible defense to withstand and drive off all the stratagems of temptation. Inst3.2.36
