When heaven endows you with all gifts, you are an incomplete being
if you stay still in your corner instead of taking advantage of your
real value.
--Marie Bashkirtseff.
Life, which ought to be a thing complete in itself, and ought to be
spent partly in gathering materials, and partly in drawing
inferences, is apt to be a hurried accumulation lasting to the edge
of the tomb. We are put into the world, I cannot help feeling, to be
rather than do.
--Arthur C. Benson.
Jehovah is the strength of my life.
--Psalm 27. 1.
Heavenly Father, I pray that thou wilt reverse my standards of life if
I may be striving only for selfish gain. May I care for all that I
could be, and may I care for where I should be found, but, most of
all, may I care for what I really am. Help me to keep my mind on thee
that I may find delight in doing thy will. Amen.
