ENIGMA

Here, we see through a glass darkly, but there face to face...There, riddles shall be unraveled, mysteries made plain, dark texts enlightened, hard providences made to appear wise. The meanest soul in heaven knows more of God than the greatest saint on earth...Not our mightiest divines understand so much of theology as the lambs of the flock of glory. Not the greatest master-minds of earth understand the millionth part of the mighty meanings which have been discovered by souls emancipated from clay.


---Charles Haddon Spurgeon, Spurgeon's Gems

I FALL DOWN A LOT

To find beauty in imperfection.

Every moment is full and is beautiful. Self-absorbed in its own fashion. Enjoy every minute. The present belongs to it.

It's a fruitless endeavor, for our souls will never meet halfway...
And knowing this, I die a little each and everyday...
I waited for the impossible, for the soul I sought will never find mine.

All things work together for good, to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Rom 8:28

The special gift and ability of each creature defines its special limitations. Elizabeth Elliot

Wherever you are be all there. Live to the hilt to every situation you believe to be the will of God.

You can't talk about the idea of equality and the idea of self-giving in the same breath. You can talk about partnership, but it is the partnership of the dance. If two people agree to dance together they agree to give and take, one to lead and the one to follow. This is what a dance is. Insistence that both lead means there won't be any dance. It is the woman's delighted yielding to the man's lead that gives him freedom. It is the man's willingness to take the lead that gives her freedom. Acceptance of their respective position frees them both and whirls them into joy. If you can understand your womanhood in this light, you will know fullness of life. (Elliot, Let Me Be a Woman:Love Means a Cross)

"The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I am a Christian does make me a different kind of woman. For I have accepted God's idea of me, and my whole life is an offering back to Him of all that I am and all that He wants me to be." - Elisabeth Elliot

One Constant TRUTH


I am so missing college days. I wish my friends would appear in front of me in one snap. Okay, time to move on.

My thought for the Day:

God loves me and there is nothing that I can do to make Him love me less.
