Dear brothers, is your life full of difficulties and temptations? Then be happy, for when the way is rough, your patience has a chance to grow. So let it grow, and don’t try to squirm out of your problems. For when your patience is finally in full bloom, then you will be ready for anything, strong in character, full and complete.

Humility
Humility makes us ready to be blessed by the God of all grace,
and fits us to deal efficiently with our fellow men.
True humility is a flower which will adorn any garden.
This is a sauce with which you may season every dish of life,
and you will find an improvement in every case.
Whether it be prayer or praise, whether it be work or suffering,
the genuine salt of humility cannot be used in excess.
Morning and Evening ~ Charles Spurgeon
By His quiet He conclusively proved Himself
to be the true Lamb of God.
As such we salute Him this morning.
Be with us, Jesus,
and in the silence of our heart,
let us hear the voice of Thy love.
Morning & Evening ~ Charles Spurgeon
He was beaten, he was tortured,
but he didn’t say a word.
Like a lamb taken to be slaughtered
and like a sheep being sheared,
he took it all in silence.

Contemporary Language 2002)

“Obviously creation was great, but it is far more important for us to understand that creation is the reflection of the very nature of God.
Remember, we can create only out of who we are, and everything we create is a reflection of who we are. So it makes perfect sense that all of creation, every stroke of the creative act, ended with an emphatic declaration that it was good.
Creation was good because God is good. Creation resulted in life because God is life.”
The Artisan Soul by Irwin Raphael McManus
