Imagine knowing a love that heals hearts, mends
families, and cares for community. This love flows
through lives committed to Jesus.
Surrendered—Carried—Stronger
We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us.
So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters.
1 John 3:16

Message from Pastor Jason
As a new year is upon us, it is a season for many to make
resolutions, things they will work hard to achieve whether it be
shedding a few pounds, dropping an unhealthy habit, or
making some other life change.
The purpose of this SOAP Devotional Journal is to provide a
resource which will nudge skeptics, fans, and followers of Jesus
into the Bible in a way that goes beyond simply reading the
text, but listening to, meditating upon, wrestling with, and living
out the living, active Word of God in our lives and community.
I find it fascinating that God commanded men like Ezekiel,
Jeremiah and John to “eat” God’s Word. Certainly this is not a
literal command to digest ink and paper, but the analogy
implies that we are to go beyond casual reading of the Bible to
pondering and praying over the text, allowing the Holy Spirit to
refine and form our hearts and lives through the living, active
Word of God (Heb. 4:12).
My hope and prayer is that this Devotional Journal will serve as
a useful resource not only for personal bible study but for
families, lifegroups, and the entire church family to dive deep
into the nourishing Word of God.
The more we get into God’s Word, the more it gets into us.
People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that
comes from the mouth of God. – Matthew 4:4 (NLT)

S-O-A-P Devotional Journal
Christ gave up his life for the church to make her holy and
clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word.
Ephesians 5:25b-26 (NLT)
S for Scripture
Open your Bible to the reading found under today's date of your Bible
bookmark. Take time reading and allow God to speak to you. When
you are done, look for a verse (or verses) that particularly spoke to
you that day, and write it in your journal.
O for Observation
What do you think God is saying to you in this scripture? Ask the Holy
Spirit to teach you and reveal Jesus to you. Paraphrase and write this
scripture down in your own words, in your journal. Generally Scripture
passages speak truth about both God’s nature and character
(theology) and about the nature of our fallen humanity
(anthropology). Observe and record what the Scripture is revealing
about both the nature of God and humanity in the passage.
A for Application
Personalize what you have read, by asking yourself how it applies to
your life situation right now. Perhaps it is instruction, encouragement,
revelation of a new promise or dimension of God’s infinite love and
wisdom, or corrections for a particular area of your life. Write how this
scripture can practically apply to you today.
P for Prayer
This can be as simple as asking God to help you use this scripture, or it
may be a greater insight on what He may be revealing to you.
Remember, prayer is a two-way conversation, so take time to listen to
God as well as responding in prayer and praise. Write down anything
the Holy Spirit has impressed upon your heart during this time of
prayer.

Prayer is talking with God and telling Him you love
Him, conversing with God about all the things that
are important in life, both large and small, and being
assured that He is listening.

way as to have plenty of time for the cultivation of

God, cling to God, come to have the sense and feel
of God, refer all things to God.

Spiritual reading is a regular, essential part of the life
of prayer, and particularly it is the support of adoring
prayer. It is important to increase our sense of God's
richness and wonder by reading what his great lovers
have said about him.

It is easy in ministry or in life, to begin to rely on
acquired knowledge instead of fresh knowledge
revealed. We must maintain our union with Him to
enjoy fresh oil and then there is no old oil. The life of
God or presence of God can't be stored, it has to be
current. It is a well of life, continually outflowing.

When I find myself racing around, trying to fill a day
with mindless tasks or petty entertainment, this is
usually the time that God whispers to my heart to
draw away with Him and to silence my heart as He
wishes to speak.

Closet communion needs time for the revelation of
God's presence. It is vain to say, "I have too much
work to do to find time." You must find time or forfeit
blessing. God knows how to save for you the time
you sacredly keep for communion with Him.

Paul did not regard prayer as supplemental, but
fundamental-not something to be added to his work,
but the very matrix out of which his work was born.
He was a man of action because he was a man of
prayer.

It is a glorious thing to get to know God in a new way
in the inner chamber. It is something still greater and
more glorious to know God as the all-sufficient One
and to wait on His Spirit to open our hearts and minds
wide to receive the great things, the new things
which He really longs to bestow on those who wait for
Him.

The central significance of prayer is not in the things
that happen as results, but in the deepening intimacy
and unhurried communion with God at His central
throne of control in order to discover a sense of God's
need in order to call on God's help to meet that
need.

Those who complain that they make no progress in
the life of prayer because they "cannot meditate"
should examine, not their capacity for meditation,
but their capacity for suffering and love. For there is a
hard and costly element, a deep seriousness, a
crucial choice, in all genuine religion.

It is impossible to live the life of a disciple without
definite times of secret prayer. You will find that the
place to enter in is in your business, as you walk
along the streets, in the ordinary ways of life, when no
one dreams you are praying, and the reward comes
openly, a revival here, a blessing there.

What is the reason that some believers are so much
brighter and holier than others? I believe the
difference in nineteen cases out of twenty, arises
from different habits about private prayer. I believe
that those who are not eminently holy pray little and
those who are eminently holy pray much.

I must secure more time for private devotions. I have
been living far too public for me.The shortening of
devotions starves the soul, it grows lean and faint. I
have been keeping too late hours.

To the individual believer indwelt by the Holy Spirit
there is granted the direct impression of the Spirit of
God on the spirit of man, imparting the knowledge of
His will in matters of the smallest and greatest
importance. This has to be sought and waited for.

Do everything in its own time; do everything in

Never see the face of man until you have seen his

Pray with your intelligence. Bring things to God that
you have thought out and think them out again with
Him. That is the secret of good judgement.
Repeatedly place your pet opinions and prejudices
before God. He will surprise you by showing you that
the best of them need refining and some the
purification of destruction.

Christ is not a reservoir but a spring. His life is
continual, active and ever passing on with an outflow
as necessary as its inflow. If we do not perpetually
draw the fresh supply from the living Fountain, we hall
either grow stagnant or empty, It is, therefore, not so
much a perpetual fullness as a perpetual filling.

There is hardly ever a complete silence in our soul.
God is whispering to us well-nigh incessantly.
Whenever the sounds of the world die out in the soul,
or sink low, then we hear these whisperings of God.
He is always whispering to us, only we do not always
hear, because of the noise, hurry, and distraction
which life causes as it rushes on.

Contemplative prayer is to read with special
attention to the Gospel. It is often helpful to take one
sentence or word that offers special comfort and
repeat it a few times so that the whole content can
be brought to mind and allowed slowly to descend
from the mind into the heart.

Oh, how few find time for prayer! There is time for
everything else, time to sleep and time to eat, time to
read the newspaper and the novel, time to visit
friends, time for everything else under the sun, but -
no time for prayer, the most important of all things,
the one great essential!

Are you weak? Weary? Confused? Troubled?
Pressured? How is your relationship with God? Is it
held in its place of priority? I believe the greater the

Him.

knowing our iniquities... Those who have known God
without knowing their wretchedness have not
glorified him, but have glorified themselves.

If we try to get up warm feelings and good
dispositions in order to remove some fancied
remainder of distance, we shall fail; not simply
because these actings of ours cannot do what we
are trying to do, but because there is no need of any
such effort. The thing is done already. God has
brought his righteousness nigh to the sinner.

It is one thing to have sin alarmed only by
convictions, and another to have it crucified by
converting grace. Many, because they have been
troubled in conscience for their sins, think well of their
case, miserably mistaking conviction for conversion.

The Christian message is not an exhortation - try hard
to be good. Good advice, but there is no saving
gospel in that.

There's much more for me included in Christ's

spread garments in the way: when He enters into our

only lay it under Christ's feet but even trample upon it
ourselves.

Suffering inflicted on Jesus by others had the
appearance at least of being involuntary. The
sufferings of Gethsemane, deep in his soul, could
touch him only because he willed it, to give us
courage in our own fears, to set us an example, to
merit for us the grace needed in our own interior
conflicts.

God led Jesus to a cross, not a crown, and yet that
cross ultimately proved to be the gateway to
freedom and forgiveness for every sinner in the world.
God also asks us as Jesus' followers to carry a cross.
Paradoxically, in carrying that cross, we find liberty
and joy and fulfillment.

How splendid the cross of Christ! It brings life, not
death; light, not darkness; paradise, not its loss.It is
the wood on which the Lord, like a great warrior,was
wounded in hands and feet and side, but healed
thereby our wounds. A tree had destroyed us; a tree
now brought us life.

It seems we are tempted to put our faith in a host of
things other than work of Christ on the cross. Some
have even placed faith in faith itself, or in a search for
fulfillment or even in a worship style or philosophy.

A chaplain was speaking to a soldier on a cot in a
hospital. "You have lost an arm in the great cause,"
he said. "No," said the soldier with a smile. "I didn't
lose it - I gave it." In that same way, Jesus did not
lose His life. He gave it purposefully.

In trouble we are prone to forget all that we have
heard and read that makes for our comfort. Now
what is the reason that a man comes to think of that
which otherwise he should never have called to
mind? The Holy Spirit brings it to his remembrance; He
is a Comforter, bringing to mind useful things at such
times when we have most need of them.

Since the days of Pentecost, has the whole church
ever put aside every other work and waited upon
Him for ten days, that the Spirit's power might be
manifested? We give too much attention to method

source of power.

Read whatever chapter of scripture you will, and be
ever so delighted with it - yet it will leave you as
poor, as empty and unchanged as it found you
unless it has turned you wholly and solely to the Spirit
of God, and brought you into full union with and
dependence upon him.

If you have to be reasoned into Christianity, some
wise fellow can reason you out of it! If you come to
Christ by a flash of the Holy Spirit so that by intuition
you know that you are God's child, you know it by
the text but you also know it by the inner light, the
inner illumination of the Spirit, and no one can ever
reason you out of it.

Wise leaders should have known that the human
heart cannot exist in a vacuum. If Christians are
forbidden to enjoy the wine of the Spirit they will turn
to the wine of the flesh...Christ died for our hearts and
the Holy Spirit wants to come and satisfy them.

Spirit filled souls are ablaze for God. They love with a
love that glows. They serve with a faith that kindles.
They serve with a devotion that consumes. They hate
sin with fierceness that burns. They rejoice with a joy
that radiates. Love is perfected in the fire of God.

there is granted the direct impression of the Spirit of

decisions; order all our doings. Be with us in our

Thy mysterious companionship.

How little chance the Holy Spirit has nowadays. The

No erudition, no purity of diction, no width of mental
outlook, no flowers of eloquence, no grace of person
can atone for lack of fire. Prayer ascends by fire.
Flame gives prayer access as well as wings,
acceptance as well as energy. There is no incense
without fire; no prayer without flame.

The word Comforter as applied to the Holy Spirit
needs to be translated by some vigorous term.
Literally, it means with strength. Jesus promised His
followers that The Strengthener would be with them
forever. This promise is no lullaby for the fainthearted.
It is a blood transfusion for courageous
living.

If we think of the Holy Spirit only as an impersonal
power or influence, then our thought will constantly
be, how can I get hold of and use the Holy Spirit; but
if we think of Him in the biblical way as a divine
Person, infinitely wise, infinitely holy, infinitely tender,
then our thought will constantly be, "How can the
Holy Spirit get hold of and use me?

Prayer has mighty power to move mountains
because the Holy Spirit is ready both to encourage
our praying and to remove the mountains hindering
us. Prayer has the power to change mountains into
highways.

The Holy Spirit is not just an illumination or inspiration
that comes to our minds so we can see truth, He is a
person who himself knows the things of God and
reveals them to us.

The mechanics of a Spirit-filled life do not provide for
a spasmodic filling. That is, the Christian is not filled
only when doing service such as preaching or
teaching, but the Christian who is living a normal life
of moment by moment yieldedness to God
experiences a moment by moment fullness of the
Spirit. No Christian can do with less and at the same
time live a victorious life.

Pervade all my imaginations. Suggest all my
decisions. Lodge in my soul's most inward citadel,

Faith is a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain
of God's favour that it would risk death a thousand
times trusting in it. Such confidence and knowledge
of God's grace makes you happy, joyful and bold in
your relationship to God and all creatures. The Holy
Spirit makes this happen through faith.

The object of the Holy Spirit's work (in convincing of
sin) is to alter the man's (sinner's) opinion of himself
and so to reduce his estimate of his own character
that he should think of himself as God does, and so
cease to suppose it possible that he can be justified
by any excellency of his own.

Some souls think that the Holy Spirit is very far away,
far, far, up above. Actually he is, we might say, the
divine Person who is most closely present to the
creature. He accompanies him everywhere. He
penetrates him with himself. He calls him, he protects
him. He makes of him his living temple. He defends
him. He helps him.

The gospel of a broken heart demands the ministry of
bleeding hearts...We can never heal the needs we
do not feel. Tearless hearts can never be heralds of
the passion. We must pity if we would redeem. We
must bleed if we would be ministers of the saving
blood.

The Christian faith is meant to be lived moment by
moment. It isn't some broad, general outline--it's a
long walk with a real Person. Details count: passing
thoughts, small sacrifices, a few encouraging words,
little acts of kindness, brief victories over nagging
sins.

Kind words produce their own image in men's souls;
and a beautiful image it is. They soothe and quiet
and comfort the hearer. They shame him out of his
sour, morose, unkind feelings. We have not yet
begun to use kind words in such abundance as they
ought to be used.

men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do

As every lord giveth a certain livery (uniform) to his
servants, charity is the very livery of Christ. Our
Saviour, who is the Lord above all lords, would have
his servants known by their badge, which is love.

We all need love, but we need it most when we
deserve it least--when we have sinned against
someone, when we have made poor choices, when
we have failed. In these situations, ordinary love must
become extra-ordinary love.

his good works is not based on their number and

him to do these things.

Compassion is sometimes the fatal capacity for
feeling what it is like to live inside somebody else's
skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really
be any peace and joy for me until there is peace
and joy finally for you too.

To wipe all tears from off all faces is a task too hard
for mortals; but to alleviate misfortunes is often within
the most limited power: yet the opportunities which
every day affords of relieving the most wretched of
human beings are overlooked and neglected with
equal disregard of policy and goodness.

stillness from all active work, you ought to be just as

is no virtue to love the Master's work better than the
Master's will.

[The natural life] knows that if the spiritual life gets
hold of it, all its self-centeredness and self-will are
going to be killed and it is ready to fight tooth and
nail to avoid that.

The man that believes will obey; failure to obey is
convincing proof that there is no true faith present. To
attempt the impossible God must give faith or there
will be none, and He gives faith to the obedient heart
only.

So many times we say that we can't serve God
because we aren't whatever is needed. We're not
talented enough or smart enough or whatever. But if
you are in covenant with Jesus Christ, He is
responsible for covering your weaknesses, for being
your strength. He will give you His abilities for your
disabilities!

for your life. If you lay hold of this truth, it will set you

If we want the Word of God to have authority in our
life, there is only one way - obey it. If we want the
Holy Spirit to have authority in our life, there is only
one way - Obey Him. If we always obey impulses of
fear or doubt or resentment, what will have authority
over our minds? Fear, and doubt and resentment.

When you suffer and lose, that does not mean you
are being disobedient to God. In fact, it might mean
you're right in the centre of His will. The path of
obedience is often marked by times of suffering and

The great paradox of faith is that we find our perfect
freedom only when become slaves - slaves to God...
In the ancient world, slaves judged their self-worth in
relation to the importance of their masters . The
greater the social status of a master, the greater the
esteem of the slave. Christians are slaves of the
greatest and kindest master of all.

It is indeed praiseworthy for a believer to consecrate
his life to the Lord, but he must never do so lightly or
thoughtlessly. Before committing your life in service
to God today, count the cost, for No man, having put
his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the
kingdom of God (Luke 9:62).

Will is the whole man active. I cannot give up my will;
I must exercise it. I must will to obey. When God gives
a command or a vision of truth, it is never a question
of what He will do, but what we will do. To be
successful in God's work is to fall in line with His will
and to do it His way. All that is pleasing to Him is a
success.

On days when life is difficult and I feel overwhelmed,
as I do fairly often, it helps to remember in my
prayers that all God requires of me is to trust Him and
be His friend. I find I can do that.

It is not the glorious battlements, the painted
windows, the crouching gargoyles that support a
building, but the stones that lie unseen in or upon the
earth. It is often those who are despised and
trampled on that bear up the weight of a whole
nation.

Nobody ever got anything from God on the grounds
that he deserved it. Haven fallen, man deserves only
punishment and death. So if God answers prayer it's
because God is good. From His goodness, His
lovingkindness, His good-natured benevolence, God
does it! That's the source of everything.

We both need prayer as the battle gets hotter and
that it surely is doing. But so help me the hotter it gets
the better I like it. And that poses a theological
problem; is that my old nature or my new old? A bit
puzzling!

Oh, how few find time for prayer! There is time for
everything else, time to sleep and time to eat, time to
read the newspaper and the novel, time to visit
friends, time for everything else under the sun, but -
no time for prayer, the most important of all things,
the one great essential!

If a man wants God to hear his prayer quickly, then
before he prays for anything else, even his own soul,
when he stands and stretches out his hands toward
God, he must pray with all his heart for his enemies.
Through this action God will hear everything that he
asks.

Prayer is surrender - surrender to the will of God and
cooperation with that will. If I throw out a boathook
from the boat and catch hold of the shore and pull,
do I pull the shore to me, or do I pull myself to the
shore? Prayer is not pulling God to my will, but the
aligning of my will to the will of God.

Fall on your knees and grow there. There is no burden
of the spirit but is lighter by kneeling under it. Prayer
means not always talking to Him, but waiting before
Him till the dust settles and the stream runs clear.

Here is the life of prayer, when in or with the Spirit, a
man being made sensible of sin, and how to come to
the Lord for mercy; he comes, I say, in the strength of
the Spirit, and crieth Father. That one word spoken in
faith, is better than a thousand prayers, as men call
them, written and read, in a formal, cold, lukewarm
way.

There are three things to be seen in an intercessor
which are not necessarily found in ordinary prayer: 1)
Identification 2) Agony 3) Authority...Intercession so
identifies the intercessor with the sufferer that it gives
him/her a prevailing place with God.

To pray is nothing more involved than to open the
door, giving Jesus access to our needs and
permitting Him to exercise His own power in dealing
with them.

A low standard of prayer means a low standard of
character and a low standard of service. Those alone
labour effectively among men who impetuously fling
themselves upward towards God.

We forget that God sometimes has to say No. We
pray to Him as our heavenly Father, and like wise
human fathers, He often says, No, not from whim or
caprice, but from wisdom and from love, and
knowing what is best for us.

The mere act of prayer is abhorrent to the forces of
evil, and you will find that there will be all kinds of
hindrances (depression, doubt, frustrations and so
on). Many of those hindrances will have the smell of
sulphur smoke about them.

The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians
from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless
studies, prayerless work, and prayerless religion. He
laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles
when we pray.

should we hesitate to bring the simplest requests

The inattentive, slovenly way we drift into the
presence of God is an indication that we are not
bothering to think about Him. Whenever our Lord
spoke of prayer, He said, "Ask." It is impossible to ask
if you do not concentrate.

that God's Son has put on flesh, is bone, sits at the

I do know that I love God and love His work, and
desire to serve him only and in all things. And I value

can be accepted.

Only he who flings himself upward when the pull
comes to drag him down, can hope to break the
force of temptation. Temptation may be an invitation
to hell, but much more is it an opportunity to reach
heaven. At the moment of temptation, sin and
righteousness are both very near the Christian; but, of
the two, the latter is the nearer.

occurs in every man's life and this affects the

them out of the secret chamber of my heart. I take
them out of the darkness and expose them to Your
light. Lord, You have promised You will execute Your
word upon the earth, thoroughly and quickly. Oh
God, thoroughly cleanse my heart; purify me quickly!

dabbing the pleasure of sin with a delusive
sweetness, and soon after his victims, intoxicated
with the poisoned draught and hardened by the
deceitfulness of sin, lose all consciousness of their
terrible danger.

Do all in your power not to fall, for the strong athlete

and continue the contest. Even if you fall a thousand

this until the day of your death.

have known many people that do things that they
know are wrong. Then when someone that cares
about them tries to talk to them about the problem,
they get mad about it. Always remember this - When
you do something that you know is wrong, you give
up the right to get mad.

Should I worship Him from fear of hell, may I be cast

Him from love alone, He reveals Himself to me, that

presence.

The little treasures you and I struggle to hold on to
may hold back opportunities to worship Him with
extravagant praise, releasing ministry and service to
Him that will bless all those around us.

Worship is the intentional attitudes and actions of
focusing on God. It is the life-discipline we ought
repeatedly to exercise and develop. It grows out of
the foundational motive of deep and wonder-based
gratitude to God for His salvaging and sustaining us.

Question: "Didn't we agree that God is a spirit? Don't
you worship Him because He is pure spirit?" Answer :
"Good heavens, no! We worship Him because He is
wise and good. There's nothing specially fine about
being a spirit. The Devil is a spirit."

The church is never a place, but always a people;
never a fold but always a flock; never a building but
always a believing assembly. The church is you who
pray, not where you pray.

As the genuine religious impulse becomes dominant,
adoration more and more takes charge. "I come to
seek God because I need Him," may be an
adequate formula for prayer. "I come to adore His
splendour, and fling myself and all that I have at His
feet," is the only possible formula for worship.

Worship is the submission of all our nature to God. It is
the quickening of conscience by his holiness, the
nourishment of the mind with his truth, the purifying of
the imagination of his beauty, the opening of the
heart to his love, the surrender of the will to his
purpose.

It is in worship, that through song, prayer, and
preaching, our theology is formed, our discipleship
encouraged, and our spirits nourished. It is in worship
that we reach out to touch the hem of Christ's
garment and find that, instead of touching the hem,
we are being offered the grace of God by word of
mouth and gift of hand.

To worship God in truth is further to admit that we are
entirely contrary to Him, and that He is willing to
make us like Himself if we desire it. Who will be so
imprudent as to turn himself away, even for a
moment, from the reverence, love, service and
continual adoration which we most justly owe Him?

Praise lies upon a higher plain than thanksgiving.
When I give thanks, my thoughts still circle around
myself to some extent. But in praise my soul ascends
to self-forgetting adoration, seeing and praising only
the majesty and power of God, His grace and
redemption.

we can offer him what we are in acceptable worship.
The worship of God is always a response to the Word
of God. Scripture wonderfully directs and enriches
our worship.

If we get our information from the biblical material
there is no doubt that the Christian life is a dancing,
leaping, daring life.

The purpose of this Christian society called the
"Church" is, first: to glorify God by our worship. We do
not go to church just to hear a sermon. We go to
church to worship God.

It horribly skews the meaning of the cross when
contemporary prophets of self-esteem say that the
cross is a witness to my infinite worth... The biblical
perspective is that the cross in a witness to the infinite
worth of God's glory, and a witness to the immensity
of the sin of my pride.

Don't aspire to be like the gilded weather vane on
top of a great building. However much it may glitter,
however high it may be, it adds nothing to the
firmness of the structure. Rather, be like an old stone
block hidden in the foundations, under the ground
where no one can see you. Because of you, the
house will not fall.

standing in awe of God's holiness and sovereignty...
acknowledging our own littleness, distrusting our own
thoughts, and willing to have our minds turned upside

There is one vice of which no man in the world is free;
which every one in the world loathes when he sees it
in someone else; and of which hardly any people,
except Christians ever imagine that they are guilty
themselves....The essential vice, the utmost evil, is
Pride.

Nothing is more false and more indiscreet than
always to want to choose what mortifies us in
everything. By this rule a person would soon ruin his
health, his business, his reputation, his relations with
his relatives and friends, in fact every good work
which Providence gives him.

We do not very often come across opportunities for
exercising strength, magnanimity, or magnificence;
but gentleness, temperance, modesty, and humility,
are graces which ought to colour everything we do.
There may be virtues of a more exalted mould, but...
these are the most continually called for in daily life.

Humility is the way for us to open communication
with the merciful God of heaven. It is far better to
pray in a private "room," be unseen by man, and
have the approval of God than to give a public
display of prayer and have a heart full of pride.

The grand obstacle to the salvation of the scribes and
Pharisees was their pride, vanity and self-love. They
lived on each other's praise. If they had
acknowledged Christ as the only good teacher, they
must have given up the good opinion of the
multitude; and they chose rather to lose their souls
than to forfeit their reputation among men!

Pride slays thanksgiving, but an humble mind is the
soil out of which thanks naturally grow. A proud man
is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets
as much as he deserves.

We have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our
hearts, that all these blessings were produced by
some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.
Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have
become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of
redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray
to the God that made us!

To ask yourself: Am I worthy to perform this Christian
task? is really the peak of pride and presumption. For
the very question carries the implication that we
spend most of our time doing things we are worthy to
do. We simply do not have that kind of worth.

For Christ is of those who are humble-minded and not
of those who exalt themselves over His flock. Our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Scepter of the majesty of God,
did not come in the pomp of pride or arrogance,
although He might have done so. . . . If the Lord so
humbled Himself, what shall we do who have through
Him come under the yoke of His grace?

There is a false self-distrust which denies the worth of
its own talent. It is not humility - it is petty pride,
withholding its simple gifts from the hands of Christ
because they are not more pretentious.

The event of Christ is the only event in human history
that promises relocation and centering, meaning and
purpose. This promise and its fulfillment evoke
passionate and heartfelt praise and thanks,
especially for those aware of their own brokenness
and the healing which Christ brings into their lives.

relationship between God and his people, may that
be mirrored in our renewed relationships with
spouses, children, family and those near and dear to
us. May we speak tenderly to each other amidst all
the rush of the season and transform the shopping
days till Christmas into the true Advent of Christ.

spirit of Christmas is a human product; the Spirit of
Christ is a divine person. That makes all the
difference in the world.

Best of all, Christmas means a spirit of love, a time
when the love of God and the love of our fellow men
should prevail over all hatred and bitterness, a time
when our thoughts and deeds and the spirit of our
lives manifest the presence of God.

This is the month, and this the happy morn, Wherein
the Son of Heaven's eternal King, Of wedded maid
and virgin mother born, Our great redemption from
above did bring, For so the holy sages once did sing,
That He our deadly forfeit should release, And with His
Father work us a perpetual peace.

To give heart and mind to God, so that they are ours
no longer - to do good without being conscious of it,
to pray ceaselessly and without effort as we breathe
- to love without stopping to reflect upon our feelings
- such is the perfect forgetfulness of self, which casts
us upon God, as a babe rests upon its mother's
breast.

The greatness of man's power is the measure of his
surrender. It is not a question of who you are, or of
what you are, but whether God controls you.

If there be anything that is capable of setting the soul
in a large place it is absolute abandonment to God.
It diffuses in the soul a peace that flows like a river
and the righteousness which is as the waves of the
sea.

purposes directly contrary to what our narrow views
would prescribe. He brings a death upon our feelings,
wishes, and prospects when He is about to give us
the desire of our hearts.

Will is the whole man active. I cannot give up my will;
I must exercise it. I must will to obey. When God gives
a command or a vision of truth, it is never a question
of what He will do, but what we will do. To be
successful in God's work is to fall in line with His will
and to do it His way. All that is pleasing to Him is a
success.

Before He furnishes the abundant supply, we must first
be made conscious of our emptiness. before he
gives strength, we must be made to feel our
weakness. Slow, painfully slow, are we to learn this
lesson; and slower still to own our nothingness and
take the place of helplessness before the Mighty
One.

Prayer is surrender - surrender to the will of God and
cooperation with that will. If I throw out a boathook
from the boat and catch hold of the shore and pull,
do I pull the shore to me, or do I pull myself to the
shore? Prayer is not pulling God to my will, but the
aligning of my will to the will of God.

I miss my wife in numberless ways and shall miss her
yet more and more, but as a child of God and as a
servant of the Lord Jesus I bow. I'm satisfied with the
will of my heavenly Father. I seek by perfect
submission to his holy will to glorify Him and kiss
continually the hand that has thus afflicted me. (
Written after his wife's death)

To love is not to experience a particular sensation in
the heart; that emotion is but a reflex phenomenon, a
detail of love at the least. To love is to wish for the
good, it is to give the best of one's self for the good of
another; it does not mean grasping for one's self; love
means giving one's self.

The incentive to peacemaking is love, but it
degenerates into appeasement whenever justice is
ignored. To forgive and to ask for forgiveness are
both costly exercises. All authentic Christian
peacemaking exhibits the love and justice - and so
the pain - of the cross.

If we want the advantages of love, then we must be
willing to take the risks of love. And that requires
vulnerability. Of course, we can refuse this path and
trod another one devoid of openness. But the toll on
such a road is extremely high.

Instead of allowing yourself to be unhappy, just let
your love grow as God wants it to grow. Seek
goodness in others. Love more persons more... love
them more impersonally, more unselfishly, without
thought of return. The return, never fear, will take care
of itself.

If I belittle those whom I am called to serve, talk of
their weak points in contrast perhaps with what I think
of as my strong points; if I adopt a superior attitude,
forgetting "Who made thee to differ? and what hast
thou that thou hast not received?" then I know
nothing of Calvary love.

Dare to love and to be a real friend. The love you
give and receive is a reality that will lead you closer
and closer to God as well as those whom God has
given you to love.

Christian love is the only kind of love in which there is
no rivalry, no jealousy. There is jealousy among the
lovers of art; there is jealousy among the lovers of
song; there is jealousy among the lovers of beauty.
The glory of natural love is its monopoly, its power to
say, 'It is mine.' But the glory of Christian love is its
refusal of monopoly.
George Matheson

Love... alone makes heavy burdens light and bears in
equal balance things pleasing and displeasing. Love
bears a heavy burden and does not feel it, and love
makes bitter things tasteful and sweet.
Thomas a Kempis

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying,
to run by running, to work by working; and just so,
you learn to love by loving. All those who think to
learn in any other way deceive themselves.

Love finds no steady home in psychological health. I
am sure God wants us to be whole and healthy in
every way possible, but love neither depends upon
these things nor ends with them. In fact, blessings
sometimes come through brokenness that could
never come in any other way.

Love means to love that which is unlovable, or it is no
virtue at all; forgiving means to pardon that which is
unpardonable, or it is no virtue at all.

Speak tenderly to them. Let there be kindness in your
face, in your eyes, in your smile, in the warmth of
your greeting. Always have a cheerful smile. Don't
only give your care, but give your heart as well.
J. S. Bach
