if

Just recently I enjoyed reading if: What do I know of Calvary Love? {Amy Carmichael}.
I just want to share a couple parts from the book that were particularly challenging to me:

"if there by any reserve in my giving to Him who so loved that He gave His Dearest for me;

if there be a secret "but" in my prayer, 

"Anything but that, Lord," 

the I know nothing of Calvary love."

"if something I am asked to do for another feels burdensome;

if, yielding to an inward unwillingness,

I avoid doing it,

the I know nothing of Calvary love."

"if the ultimate, the hardest, cannot be asked of me;

if my fellows hesitate to ask it and turn to someone else,

the I know nothing of Calvary love."

"if I covet any place on earth but the dust at the foot of the cross, 

then I know nothing of Calvary love."

I highly recommend this short book; it is 70 pages of challenging words to meditate upon. 

Thanks

Thank you for praying over the last day. God is a God of miracles and to Him we give all credit and thanks.

Have a great Tuesday!

PRAY

Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden. 

-Corrie Ten Boom-

Anything large enough for a wish to light upon, is large enough to hang a prayer upon. 

-George MacDonald-

If I could just ask one simple favor, for the next 36 hours especially, it would be to pray. 

Stress mounting. Wishes crumbling. 

Hearts breaking.Decisions happening. 

Lives changing. The Devil working.  

and there is nothing that can physically be done about it... please PRAY. 

Luke 1:37  For nothing is impossible with God. 


Psalm 107:28-29 Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still...
