jesus agony generosity
So often our sisters comfort others when their own needs are greater than those being comforted. That quality is like the generosity of Jesus on the cross. Empathy during agony is a portion of divinity!
goal impressive ten-commandments
A vague goal is no goal at all. The Ten Commandments wouldn't be very impressive, for instance, if they weren't specific, but simply were couched in a phraseology such as 'thou shalt not be a bad person.
spiritual contentment
Within what is allotted to us, we can have spiritual contentment.
real player acting
Enthusiasm needs to be effective enthusiasm. We must distinguish between the contribution and enthusiasm of the cheerleader and the enthusiasm of the player. While cheerleaders serve an important purpose, the real contest involves players on the field or on the court of life. We must not go through life acting only as enthusiastic cheerleaders available for hire; we must be anxiously and personally engaged.
writing priorities special
The prompting that goes unresponded to may not be repeated. Writing down what we have been prompted with is vital. A special thought can be lost later in the day through the rough and tumble of life. God should not, and may not, choose to repeat the prompting if we assign what is given such a low priority as to put it aside.
roots daisies pulling
Patience stoutly resists pulling up the daisies to see how the roots are doing!
self-esteem draws persons
If another person only had in his storehouse of deserved self-esteem what you had put there, what would he have to draw upon and to sustain him?
endure contempt
We must endure the contempt of others without reciprocating that contempt.
errors plans wrong-things
Of all the errors one could make, God's gospel plan is the wrong thing to be wrong about.
giving discipleship determine
The dues of discipleship are high indeed, and how much we can take so often determines how much we can then give.
doe weakness strive
Our God does not indulge us, but He is merciful toward our weaknesses as He strives to tutor us.
home people ordinary
God's extraordinary work is most often done by ordinary people in the seeming obscurity of a home and family.
wise wall heart
I have on my office wall a wise and useful reminder by Anne Morrow Lindbergh concerning one of the realities of life. She wrote, "My life cannot implement in action the demands of all the people to whom my heart responds." That's good counsel for us all, not as an excuse to forgo duty, but as a sage point about pace and the need for quality in relationships.
force gods-will facilitate
God will facilitate, but He will not force.
