Tell them what has been done for you, not long ago, but perhaps an hour or two ago, or yesterday, or last week.

His eyes were not fixed on the sad interruption to fellowship and joy, but on the hour when Peter would be back in love again, never again to grieve his Lord like that. 

Love, the truest, deepest kind of love, gives and goes on giving

Let us refuse to listen to the ‘I’ that clamours within us as we set another before ourself.

Even a disaster to the flesh only gives the spirit an opportunity to prove the promises of God….

We have for light the presence and the promises of God.  There may be someone whom we are trying to help;  we are trying to bring out of the dark mine of that personality precious jewels for our Lord. 

Let us settle down in peace as a bird settles down in its nest, not wanting any other nest, not wondering why the wind blows our tree so fiercely sometimes, or why the sky is sometimes dark and the rain falls heavily.

Is it not utterly wonderful?  He finds pleasure in loving us.
