“A verse of Scripture in the morning, may become a blessing for all the day. It may sing in the heart as a sweet song, from morning until evening. It may become a liturgy of prayer in which the soul shall voice its deepest needs and hungers-amid toils, struggles, and cares. It may be a guide through perplexing tangles, Gods voice whispering cheer, a comforter breathing peace in sorrow.” NeedsHeartMaySoulCareSongVoicePrayerMorningStruggleSweetSorrowBlessingHungerGuidesScriptureEveningBreathingCheerVersesToilWhisperingLiturgyComforter Author:J.R.

“Christ is building His kingdom with earth's broken things. Men want only the strong, the successful, the victorious, the unbroken, in building their kingdoms; but God is the God of the unsuccessful, of those who have failed. Heaven is filling with earth's broken lives, and there is no bruised reed that Christ cannot take and restore to glorious blessedness and beauty. He can take the life crushed by pain or sorrow and make it into a harp whose music shall be all praise. He can lift earth's saddest failure up to heaven's glory.” MenWantInspirationalGodEarthPainJesusStrongHeavenChristSuccessfulStrengthBuildingFailureBrokenVictorySorrowGloryPraiseChristian InspirationalKingdomsLiftsGloriousFillingCrushedRestorationBrokennessSaddestUnbrokenReedsUnsuccessfulHarpsBruisedBlessednessPain And SorrowBroken Things Author:J.R.

“It is supposed by some that religion makes people solemn, takes the sunshine out of their life, the joy out of their heart, the song out of their mouth. But the reverse of this is the truth.

He bids them rejoice even in sorrow and trial.” PeopleWorldHeartChristianJoySongChristSecretTeachSorrowMouthsTrialsSunshineFollowersRejoiceReverseSolemn Author:J.R. Miller
