| Love will find a way
"Are there those for whom we have long prayed for, who seem beyond our reach now? Love will find a way. Are we discouraged because we do not see our expected signs, and the solid rocks seem to be sinking under shifting sands? It is not so. Love is mighty and must prevail. Terrible in judgments, marvelous in loving-kindness, Love will find a way. ... In and out of the deep, dark places of heathendom--yes, and as truly amongst the garish lights of a Christendom that has lost its first warm love--wherever there is the least, the faintest response to Love, there Love will follow and find, for nothing in heaven or earth or under the earth is impossible to Love."
(Amy Carmichael, in Mimosa, Who Was Charmed)
I just finished this incredible, challenging true story of a young Hindu girl, Mimosa, who heard one day of a God who loved her and lived from that day on in fellowship with Him, through hardship and adversity. I highly recommend it. It's a short read, but what it lacks in length, it makes up for in soul-stirring depth. "For God has other Mimosas."

| DWELL DEEP His thoughts said, My longing is to heal the broken and the weak, to defend the maimed, and to lead the blind unto the sight of the glory of the Lord, My choice is to be a corn of wheat and fall into the ground and die. Then why these waverings? His Father said, Too much of thy surface is exposed to the breath of every wind that bloweth. Thou must learn to dwell deep. And the Son who had wavered answered humbly, Renew within me a settled spirit. Establish me with Thy directing Spirit. My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed. I will sing and give praise.
-from His thoughts said... His Father said by Amy Carmichael

| FREE GAO "Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body." (Hebrews 13:3) "I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth." (John 17:15-17) | | |
| O Great God O Great God of highest heaven
Occupy my lowly heart
Own it all and reign supreme
Conquer every rebel power
Let no vice or sin remain
That resists Your holy war
You have loved and purchased me
Make me Yours forevermore
I was blinded by my sin
Had no ears to hear your voice
Did not know Your love within
Had no taste for heaven's joys
Then Your Spirit gave me Life
Opened up Your world to me
Through the gospel of Your Son
Gave me endless hope and peace Help me now to live a life
That's dependent on Your grace
Keep my heart and guard my soul
From the evils that I face
You are worthy to be praised
With my every though and deed
O Great God of highest heaven
Glorify Your name in me You are worthy to be praised
With my every thought and deed
O Great God of highest heaven
Glorify Your name through me -written by Bob Kauflin (Sovereign Grace Ministries) | | |
