Being and Doing – 10 March – Cheerfulness
HAPPINESS, and brightness in God’s service is a great gift and one that wins others to Him
Resisting the Prowling Lion – Day 15
Whilst in this world we may be subject to troughs as well as crests but no matter how low the trough of despair may be, we are not faced with the prospect of emptiness but the wonderful possibility of being further filled!
Being and Doing – 9 March – Cheerfulness
let all men read in your face the happiness of a Christian that loves his Master
Resisting the Prowling Lion – Day 14
How important it is to learn that the deep troughs of the undulations of the spiritual life are not darkness but are in fact the place from which we take the first steps of a deeper faith.
Resisting the Prowling Lion – Day 13
We want cattle who can become food:
He wants servants who can become sons.
We want to suck in,
He wants to give out.
We are empty and would be filled;
He is full and flows over.
Being and Doing – 8 March – Evil of Melancholy
WE should not sadden the harmless mirth of others by suffering our own melancholy to be seen
Resisting the Prowling Lion – Day 12
If we do not recognise the ‘law of undulation’ at work within us then at the very least we will drift away from a faith which has become over-dependant on emotional ‘highs’ instead of grounded in spiritual reality.
Being and Doing – 7 March – Peace
FIRST, keep thyself in peace, and then shalt thou be able to make peace among others.
