“I have often been reminded of the wild duck that came down on migration into a barnyard and liked it so well that he stayed there. In the fall his erstwhile companions passed overhead and his first impulse was to rise and join them, but he had fed too well and could rise no higher than the eaves of the barn. The day came when his old fellow travelers could pass overhead without his even hearing their call. I have seen men and women who once mounted up with wings like eagles but are now content to live in the barnyard of this world.” MenWorldFirstsWellsChristianFallThis WorldHigherMen And WomenFellowsWingsHearingChristian InspirationalImpulseFedsCompanionDucksTravelerEaglesMigrationOverheadBarnsFellow Travelers Author:Vance Havner

“There is a marvelous story of a man who once stood before God, his heart breaking from the pain and injustice in the world. "Dear God." he cried out, "look at all the suffering, the anguish and distress in your world. Why don't you send help?" God responded,"I did send help. I sent you." When we tell our children that story, we must tell them that each one of them was sent to help repair the broken world-and that it is not the task of an instant or of a year, but of a lifetime.” MenWorldInspirationalYearsLooksHeartChildrenGodHelpingStoriesChristianPainPurposeSufferingBrokenTasksOur ChildrenLifetimeInjusticeDearChristian InspirationalInstantMeaning Of LifeCriedDistressMarvelousAnguishHeart BreakDear GodGod Has A PlanHeart BreakingBroken WorldInjustice In The World Author:David Wolpe
“Everyone works in the service of man. We doctors work directly on man himself... The great mystery of man is Jesus: 'He who visits a sick person, helps me,' Jesus said... Just as the priest can touch Jesus, so do we touch Jesus in the bodies of our patients... We have opportunities to do good that the priest doesn't have. Our mission is not finished when medicines are no longer of use. We must bring the soul to God; our word has some authority...
