Chance cannot touch me! Time cannot hush me!
Fear, Hope, and longing, at strife;
Sink as I rise, on, on, upward forever,
Gathering strength, gaining breath--
Naught can sever
Me from the Spirit of Life.
--Margaret Fuller.
But evil is wrought by want of thought, as well as want of heart.
--Thomas Hood.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy
to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward.
--Romans 8. 18.
Heavenly Father, cause the newness of life to continue to flow through
my heart, that I may not be fatigued, as I struggle with
discouragements. Release me from hopeless cares that I have made mine,
thinking they were thine. May I trust in the boundless limit of thy
mercy, and rejoice in the world of living light. Amen.
