Verse of the Day:
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
“May those who love you be secure.
May there be peace within your walls
and security within your citadels.”
~Ps 122:6-7
Quote of the Day:
“We do not want merely to see beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words-to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it…-”
~C.S. Lewis

Verse of the Day:
“You know what I long for, Lord;
you hear my every sigh.”
~Ps. 38:9
Quote of the Day:
“By having a great many friends I do not prove that I have a wide appreciation of human excellence. You might as well say I prove the width of my literary taste by being able to enjoy all the books in my own study. The answer is the same in both cases—“You chose those books. You chose those friends. Of course they suit you.” The truly wide taste in reading is that which enables a man to find something for his needs on the sixpenny tray outside any secondhand bookshop. The truly wide taste in humanity will similarly find something to appreciate in the crow-section of humanity whom one has to meet every day. In my experience it is Affection that creates this taste, teaching us first to notice, then to endure, then to smile at, then to enjoy, and finally to appreciate, the people who “happen to be there.” Made for us? Thank God, no. They are themselves, odder than you could have believed and worth far more than we guessed.”

Quote of the Day:
“Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.”

Verse of the Day:
A Prayer for Healing for Isreal
“Lord, have you completely rejected Judah?
Do you really hate Jerusalem?
Why have you wounded us past all hope of healing?
We hoped for peace, but no peace came.
We hoped for a time of healing, but found only terror.
Lord, we confess our wickedness
and that of our ancestors, too.
We all have sinned against you.
For the sake of your reputation, Lord, do not abandon us.
Do not disgrace your own glorious throne.
Please remember us,
and do not break your covenant with us.
Can any of the worthless foreign gods send us rain?
Does it fall from the sky by itself?
No, you are the one, O Lord our God!
Only you can do such things.
So we will wait for you to help us.”
~Jer 14:19-22
Quote of the Day:
“Its not that we desire for a little, we settle for so much less.”

Verse of the Day:
“Lord, there is no one like you!
For you are great, and your name is full of power.”
~Jer. 10:6
Quote of the Day:
“The proper aim of giving is to put the recipient in a state where he no longer needs our gift. We feed children in order that they may soon be able to feed themselves; we teach them in order that they may soon not need our teaching. Thus a heavy task is laid upon this Gift-love. It must work towards its own abdication. We must aim at making ourselves superfluous. The hour when we can say “They need me no longer” should be our reward.”
~ C.S. Lewis

Verse of the Day:
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
~Acts 1:8
Quote of the Day:
“Christianity , if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.”
~CS Lewis
(My Note: Christianity = The belief of Jesus Christ as Savior who atoned our sins on the cross. Not the Religion)

Quote of the Day:
“If you read history you will find that the Christians who did the most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.”
~C.S. Lewis
Lyrics of the Day:
“Who am I to know your glory
Who am I to recognize your voice (calling out)
How could I be in your story
God who was and is and is to come (who has won)
I was dead in my sin
You came in, yeah
You made a way when there was no way
You covered heaviness with garments of praise
You wrote a song and you’re singing it o – ver me
I feel a dead heart beating now
This revelation makes me wanna shout
That Jesus has been sent
And everything is different
You turn ashes into beauty
You are for me not against me, now (You love me somehow)
You turn mourning into dancing
You turn weeping into a joyful noise (And we rejoice)
I was dead in my sin
You came in, yeah
You made a way when there was no way
You covered heaviness with garments of praise
You wrote a song and you’re singing it over me, yeah
I feel a dead heart beating now
This revelation makes me wanna shout (Yeah!)
That Jesus has been sent
And everything is different
What manner of love
That you would call us sons and daughters
We cry “Abba Father”
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Our God, He reigns
You made a way when there was no way
You covered heaviness with garments of praise
You wrote a song and you’re singing it over me, yeah
I feel a dead heart beating now
This revelation makes me wanna shout (Yeah!)
That Jesus has been sent
And everything is different”
