“The time has come when we must take an unyielding stand. We must shore up our spiritual underpinnings, listen to the prophets of God, and follow their counsel.Said Paul to Timothy: “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord.” (2 Timothy 1:7-8.)It requires courage to make good choices, even when others around us choose differently. As we make righteous choices day by day in little things, the Lord will strengthen us and help us choose the right during more difficult times.” MindLittlesSaidHelpingSpiritualSpiritChoicesGivenDifficultSoundLordProphetAshamedLittle ThingsShoreRighteousTestimonyDifficult TimesOur LordUnyieldingGood ChoicesSound Mind Author:W.

“The irrevocable Hand That opes the year's fair gate, doth ope and shut The portals of our earthly destinies; We walk through blindfold, and the noiseless doors Close after us, for ever. Pause, my soul, On these strange words - for ever - whose large sound Breaks flood-like, drowning all the petty noise Our human moans make on the shores of Time. O Thou that openest, and no man shuts; That shut'st, and no man opens - Thee we wait!” MenYearsHumansSoulHandsWaitingSoundWalksBreakDestinyDoorsStrangeFairsNoiseMy SoulTheeGatesShoreFloodPausesPettyDrowningPortalIrrevocableBlindfoldsFlood Likes Author:Dinah Maria Murlock Craik
