The Obstacle In Our Path

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid 
himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. 

Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply 
walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads 
clear, But none did anything about getting the stone out of the way. 

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. 

Upon approaching the boulder, the...

Brighten Your Corner

We cannot all be famous or be listed in "Who's Who",
But every person, great or small, has important work to do.

For seldom do we realize the importance of small deeds,
Or to what degree of greatness unnoticed kindness leads.

For it's not the big celebrity in a world of fame and praise,
But it's doing unpretentiously in an undistinguished way.

The work that God assigned to us, unimportant as it seems,
That makes our task outstanding, and brings re...

Traveling On Your Knees

Last night I took a journey
To a land across the seas.
I didn't go by ship or plane
I traveled on my knees.

I saw so many people there
In bondage to their sin,
And Jesus told me I should go,
That there were souls to win.

But I said "Jesus, I can't go
To lands across the seas."
He answered quickly, "Yes, you can
By traveling on your knees."

He said, "You pray, I'll meet the need.
You call, and I will hear.
It's up to you to be concerned
For lost souls f...

Daily Encouragement For March 03:

It's night, O Lord, please hear my call; I know You want my very all. But wells are deep; how can you give. The wordless pain in which you live.!

It's night, O Lord, be swift to hear; To bring relief for falling tears. Needless pain, don't let it be; But healing pain, to set me free.

Be still, My child; My whispers hear. Lean hard, My child; come very near. This well so deep with suffering filled must empty first, till all is still.

I'll take the hurt; I'll ...
