George Mueller came to me, and said, "Captain I have come to tell you that I must be in Quebec Saturday afternoon." "It is impossible," I said. "Very well, if your ship cannot take me, God will find some other way. I have never broken an engagement for fifty-seven years. Let us go down into the chart-room and pray."
I looked at that man of God, and thought to myself, what lunatic asylum can that man have come from? I never heard of such a thing as this. "Mr. Mueller," I said, "do you know how dense this fog is?" "No," he replied, "my eye is not on the density of the fog, but on the living God, who controls every circumstance of my life."
I looked at him, and he said, "Captain, I have known my Lord for fifty-seven years, and there has never been a single day that I have failed to get audience with the King. Get up, Captain and open the door, and you will find the fog gone." I got up, and the fog was indeed gone. On Saturday afternoon, George Mueller was in Quebec for his engagement.--Selected
"If our love were but more simple,
We should take Him at His word;
And our lives would be all sunshine,
In the sweetness of our Lord."

pure in heart and obedient in faith-charles cowman
Not to these only, but to many more, doors have been opened into Heaven, when, so far as the world was concerned, it seemed as though their circumstances were altogether unlikely for such revelations.But there are conditions. You must know what it is to be in the Spirit; you must be pure in heart and obedient in faith; you must be willing to count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Jesus Christ; then when God is all in all to us, when we live, move and have our being in His favor, to us also will the door be opened.

All That is Gold Does Not Glitter by J. R. R. Tolkien
All That is Gold Does Not Glitter by J. R. R. Tolkien
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
I Sit and Think by J. R. R. Tolkien
I Sit and Think by J. R. R. Tolkien
I sit beside the fire and think
of all that I have seen,
of meadow-flowers and butterflies
in summers that have been;
Of yellow leaves and gossamer
in autumns that there were,
with morning mist and silver sun
and wind upon my hair.
I sit beside the fire and think
of how the world will be
when winter comes without a spring
that I shall never see.
For still there are so many things
that I have never seen:
in every wood in every spring
there is a different green.
I sit beside the fire and think
of people long ago,
and people who will see a world
that I shall never know.
But all the while I sit and think
of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet
and voices at the door.

Jesus, Thou Divine Companion by Henry Van Dyke
Jesus, Thou Divine Companion by Henry Van Dyke
Jesus, Thou divine Companion,
By Thy lowly human birth
Thou hast come to join the workers,
Burden bearers of the earth.
Thou, the Carpenter of Nazareth,
Toiling for Thy daily food,
By Thy patience and Thy courage,
Thou hast taught us toil is good.
They who tread the path of labor
Follow where Thy feet have trod;
They who work without complaining
Do the holy will of God.
Thou, the Peace that passeth knowledge,
Dwellest in the daily strife;
Thou, the Bread of heaven, broken
In the sacrament of life.
Every task, however simple,
Sets the soul that does it free;
Every deed of love and kindness
Done to man is done to Thee.
Jesus, Thou divine Companion,
Help us all to do our best;
Bless in our daily labor,
Lead us to the Sabbath rest.

I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling leaves in glee;
A poet could not be but gay,
In such a jocund company!
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Most merciful God
Look kindly upon
An impudent child
Who wants sitting on.
This evening late
I went to the door
And then to the gate
There were more stars--more
Than I could have expected,
Even I!
I was amazed,
Almighty, August!
I was utterly dazed,
Omnipotent! Just
In a word I was floored,
Good God of Hosts--Lord!
That at this time of day
They should still blaze away,
That thou hadst not rejected
Or at least circumspected
Their white silver beauty--
Was it spite? Was it duty?

He giveth more grace-Annie Johnson Flint
He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;
To added affliction He addeth His mercy;
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.
When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources,
Our Father’s full giving is only begun.
Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,
Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;
The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.
His love has no limit; His grace has no measure.
His pow’r has no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!

Saint Gonsalo Garcia (1556–1597) was a Roman Catholic saint from India.
Born of a Portuguese father and a Canarese mother in Bassein, East India, about the year 1556 or 1557; d. 5 Feb., 1597. His early training was entrusted to the Jesuits, who brought him up in their college in Bassein Fort. At the age of twenty-four or twenty-five he went to Japan in the company of some Jesuit Fathers who were ordered, in 1580, to leave Bassein, and join their mission in the former country. He quickly acquired a knowledge of the language; and as he was of an amiable disposition he won the hearts of the people and did great service as a catechist for eight years.
He later went to Japan and preached the Gospel.He was nailed on the cross along with 25 others.
On February 5, Garcia was crucified on Nagasaki Hills with twenty six of his companions. St. Garcia was the first to be extended on, and nailed to, the cross, which was then erected in the middle of those of his companions. Fr. Gonsalo, the first to arrive, went straight to one of the crosses and asked "Is this mine?". The reply was "It is not". Then he was taken to another cross, where he knelt down and embraced it. The others, one after another, started doing the same. "That was quite a sight, the way Br. Philip was embracing his cross. . . " comments one of the witnesses.[1] [3] Two lances impaled his body through his heart. While being nailed, Garcia sang praises of God, earning him the martyr's title.[1]

Mrs Adoniram Judsons experience
"I began to discover a beauty in the way of salvation by Christ. He appeared to be just a Savior as I needed. I saw how God could be just, in saving sinners through Him. I committed my soul into His hands, and besought Him to do with me what seemed good in His sight. When I was thus enabled to commit myself into the hands of Christ, my mind was relieved from that distressing weight which had borne it down for so long a time. I did not think that I had obtained the new heart which I had been seeking, but felt happy in contemplating the character of Christ, and particularly that disposition which led Him to suffer so much, for the sake of doing the will and promoting the glory of His heavenly Father. . . A few days after this . . . I began to hope that I had passed from death unto life. When I examined myself, I was constrained to own that I had feelings and dispositions to which I was formerly and utter stranger. I had sweet communion with the blessed God from day to day; my heart was drawn out in love to Christians of whatever denomination; the sacred Scriptures were sweet to my taste; and such was my thirst for religious knowledge that I frequently spent a great part of the night in reading religious books."

'Hannah Moore's Strictures on Female Education,'
Little events and trivial operations engross her whole soul;
while a woman of sense, having provided for their probable recurrence, guards
against the inconveniences, without being disconcerted by the casual
obstructions which they offer to her general scheme.
A general capacity for knowledge and the cultivation of the understanding at
large, will always put a woman into the best state for directing her pursuits into
those particular channels which her destination in life may afterwards require. But
she should be carefully instructed that her talents are only a means to a still
higher attainment, and that, she is not to rest in them as an end; that merely to
exercise them as instruments for the acquisition of fame and the promotion of
pleasure, is subversive of her delicacy as a woman, and contrary to the spirit of a
Christian.
Study, therefore, is to be considered as the means of strengthening the mind,
and of fitting it for higher duties, just as exercise is to be considered as an
instrument for strengthening the body for the same purpose

Womans way to be more economical-'Hannah Moore's Strictures on Female Education,'
Economy such as a woman of fortune is called on to
practise, is not merely the petty detail of small daily expenses, the shabby
curtailments and stinted parsimony of a little mind operating on little concerns;
but it is the exercise of a sound judgment exerted in the comprehensive outline of
order, of arrangement, of distribution ; of regulations by which alone well-
governed societies, great and small, subsist. She who has the best-regulated
mind will, other things being equal, have the best-regulated family. As in the
superintendence of the universe, wisdom is seen in its effects; and as in the
visible works of Providence, that which goes on with such beautiful regularity is
the result, not of chance, but of design; so, that management which seems the
most easy, is commonly the consequence of the best-concerted plan ; and a
well-concerted plan is seldom the offspring of an ordinary mind. A sound
economy is a sound understanding brought into action ; it is calculation realized;
it is the doctrine of proportion reduced to practice; it is foreseeing consequences,
and guarding against them ; it is expecting contingencies, and being prepared for
them

And let every Christian remember, that
there is no other way of entering truly into the spirit of that divine prayer, which
petitions that the name of God may be “hallowed," that "his kingdom (of grace)
may come," and that "his will may be done on earth as it is in heaven," than by
each individual contributing according to his measure to accomplish the work for
which he prays; for to pray that these great objects may be promoted, without
contributing to their promotion by our exertions, our money, and our influence, is
a palpable inconsistency.

the LORD that watches over our lives
Often the LORD that watches over our lives , does not let us go astray and brings us back to the track long planned for us.
This LORD will not allow us to suffer beyond what we can bear.
He promises to provide strength for the trials.
He will not delay His help but it will arrive at the right moment.
He cannot be seen by the eyes of sight but only by the eyes of FAITH.
He will protect us from every danger and will not allow the enemy to touch us.
He requires us to not fret but trust in HIS care and provisions.
His provisions are just for the day, a day , and each day HE sends them as per the need.
He wants us to know that worrying for the next day is futile as the next day is entirely unexpected.
He wants our cooperation in the form of prayer, a prayer from the heart and not from the lips.
He is the giver of justice .
His plans are not ours, but HIS plans are the best for us.
He wants us to claim the promises HE has given us.
He wants us to guard our mind as our thought battles are the main battles.
HE WANTS US TO READ HIS WORD AND GET HELP FROM THERE.
HE knows as humans we are weak and we often fail and falter.

Be Not Anxious-Annie Johnson Flint
Be Not Anxious
I cannot change the yesterday when I distrusted Thee,
Though all my fears unfounded proved, and shame me now as then;
I cannot promise that my faith will last throughout the night,
Or that, when Thy tomorrow comes, I will not doubt again.
But grant, O faithful Lord and true, that I may trust Thee now,
Just now, each moment of each hour of this Thy present day;
That, looking backward, I may read the record of the past,
And, forward, see Thy steadfast word light all the future way.
With Memory to guard the rear and Faith to lead the van,
And all Thy tested promises like beacon lights to shine,
How can I dread that demon shape of anxious, faithless fear?
For he shall lose his power when I fully trust in Thine.

Streams in the Desert
"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us" (Rom. 8:18).
Short-sighted man! How know I that one of these pangs or groans could be spared? The far-sighted, perfect love that seeks the perfection of its object does not weakly shrink from present, transient suffering. Our Father's love is too true to be weak. Because He loves His children, He chastises them that they may be partakers of His holiness. With this glorious end in view, He spares not for their crying. Made perfect through sufferings, as the Elder Brother was, the sons of God are trained up to obedience and brought to glory through much tribulation

Albert Einstein quote
“Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget about everything except what you’re going to do now – and do it.
William Durant
“The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.”
Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven’t half the strength you think they have.
Norman Vincent Peale
No one can go back and make a brand new start. Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
Unknown
The obstacles you face are… mental barriers which can be broken by adopting a more positive approach.
Clarence Blasier
I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
Maya Angelou
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.

Lowell Thomas
Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.

It is better to believe than to disbelieve; in so doing, you bring everything to the realm of possibility.
Albert Einstein
Anger makes you smaller, while forgiveness forces you to grow beyond what you were.
Cherie Carter-Scott
Your chances of success in any undertaking can always be measured by your belief in yourself.

Practice hope. As hopefulness becomes a habit, you can achieve a permanently happy spirit.
Norman Vincent Peale
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.

quotes on risk taking-Paulo Coelho
You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen.
Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never be disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won't suffer the way people do when they have a dream to follow. But when the person looks back-she will hear her heart saying, 'What have you done with the miracles that G-d planted in your days? What have you done with the talents G-d bestowed on you? You buried yourself in a cave because you were fearful of losing those talents. So this is your heritage: the certainty that you have wasted your life.
We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen. Every day, G-d gives us the sun-and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that we haven't perceived that moment, that it doesn't exist, that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow.

Suffering quotes -Paulo Coelho
But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for.
I still pray but it's something automatic, and I'm not even sure I still believe in it... Because I've suffered, and G-d didn't listen to my prayers. because many times in my life I have tried to love with all my heart, and my love has wound up being trampled or betrayed. If G-d is love, he should have cared more about my feelings.
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream.

Paulo Coelho quote
It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting......Before a dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams master the lessons we have learned as we have moved toward that dream. That's the point at which most people give up.... [At this point] Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.

for I shall not pass this way again
I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.

what we do, how we look,
what we say, and how we say it."
Dale Carnegie
