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...

The local gang picked up that I was a Christian and daily would tease me, shout at me and abuse me because of my beliefs.

My friends were scared and did nothing to help and at that point I felt more unhappy and alone than I ever had before. I didn't understand wh...

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.!

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 ...
