Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. heb.13:3 Lately I have been pondering the plight of my brothers and sisters across the world who know nothing of comfort or ease, only suffering for the precious name of God. I have been burdened for them, yet feel helpless to truly feel their pain as my own. How much richer will Heaven be to their dimmed eyes when once they gaze upon the One for Whom they died!! Here are some quotes from those "of whom the world is not worthy". " They can take my clothes, all my property, but they cannot burn Christ and the church from our hearts." -Thomas "If there are no struggles, then there is no battle." - Mexican evangelist "It doesn't matter whether I live or die, as long as Christ shines in me and the gospel increases." - Brother Hua And this is my prayer: From prayer that asks that I may be Sheltered from winds that beat on Thee, From fearing when I should aspire, From faltering when I should climb higher, From silken self, O Captain, free Thy soldier who would follow Thee. From subtle love of softening things, From easy choices, weakenings, (Not thus are spirits fortified, Not this way went Thy Crucified) From all that dims Thy Calvary, O Lamb of God, deliver me. Give me the love that leads the way, The faith that nothing can dismay, The hope no disappointments tire, The passion that will burn like fire; Let me not sink to be a clod: Make me Thy fuel, O Flame of God! - Amy Carmichael |
