~If Christ Be My Life ~
If Christ be my life, I would value each day
To follow His precepts, to heed and obey
To seek His approval in all that I am
To live out His purpose, to fulfill His plan.
The things of this life will seem mundane and small
When He is my mainstay- who gave up His all.
The hopes and ambitions which consumed my time,
Will fade into nothing when His will is mine.
If Christ be my life, I'd be burdened with prayer
That all whom I influence will meet Him 'up there'.
My life will have meaning- be wrapped up in Him
Who loved me and saved me, and freed me from sin.
~Jenny R. Daniel
"Our Father, I think of all the pain and heartache, the tears and sorrow, the greed and cruelty unloosed around the world.
Help me to an instrument of Thine to alleviate the pain, by this day:
returning good for evil,
returning soft answers for sharp criticisms,
being polite when I receive rudeness,
being understanding when I am confronted with ignorance and stupidity.
So may I, in gentleness and love, check back the unkind retort, and thus short circuit some of the bitterness and unkindness that has overflowed Thy world. I ask this in the name of Jesus, who alone can give me the grace so to act. Amen" ~ Peter Marshall
