Ever carry about with you such a sense of the uncertainty of every thing in this life, and of life itself, as to put nothing off till to-morrow, which you can conveniently do to-day.
Let the concerns of your soul and your shop, your trade and your religion, lie always in such order, as far as possible, that death, at a short warning, may be no occasion of a disquieting tumult in your spirit, and that you may escape the anguish of a bitter repentance in a dying hour. Farewell.

Isaac Watts
VIII. Make prayer a pleasure and not a task, and then you will not forget nor omit it. If ever you have lived in a praying family, never let it be your fault if you do not live in one always. Believe that day, that hour, or those minutes, to be all wasted and lost, which any worldly pretences would tempt you to save out of the public worship of the church, the certain and constant duties of the closet, or any necessary services for God and godliness. Beware lest a blast attend it, and not a blessing. If God had not reserved one day in seven to himself, I fear religion would have been lost out of the •world; and every day of the week is exposed to a curse which has no morning religion.

IX. See that you watch and labor, as well as pray. Diligence and dependence must be united in the practice .•f every Christian. It is the same wise man acquaints us, that the hand of the diligent, and the blessing of the JLord, join together to make us rich, Prov. x. 4, 22, rich in the treasures of body or mind, of time or eternity.

II. Whatsoever your circumstances may b« in this world, still value your bible as yeur best treasure; and •whatsoever be your employment here, still look upen re.-> ligion as your best business. Your bible contains eternal life in it, and all tbe riches of the upper world; and religion is the only way to become a possessor of them.
- III. To direct your carriage towards God, converse particularly with the book of Psalms: David was a man of sincere and eminent devotion. To behave aright among men, acquaint yourself with the whole book of proverbs : Solomon was a man of large experience and wisdom. And to perfect your directions in both these, read the gospels and the epistles; you will find the best of rules and the best of examples there, and those more immediately suited to the Christian life.
IV. As a man, maintain strict temperance and sobriety, by a wise government of your appetites and passions: as a neighbour, influence and engage all around you to be your friends, by- a temper and carriage made up of prudence and goodness ; and let the poor have a certian share in all your yearly profits: as a trader, keep that golden sentence of our Saviour's ever before you, What*soever you would that men should do unto you, do you also unto them.
V. While you make the precepts of scripture the constant rule of your duty, you may with courage rest upon the promises of the scriptures as the springs of your encouragement. All divine assistances and divine recompenses are contained in them. The spirit of light and grace is promised to assist them that ask it. Heaven and glory arc promised to reward the faithful and the.obedient.

my portion and my cup
LORD, you have assigned me LORD, you have assigned me my portion and my cup; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. Psalm 16:5-6 (NIV) ; you have made my lot secure. The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. Psalm 16:5-6 (NIV)
This has been a very assuring verse for me when years back i had been going through unstability and delay .Again while searching for a house in a new place, the Lord guided me thro' this verse.
How much security this promise offers to those who believe , to know that our Lord is in contrl of our lives.

My restless soul
"the will's desire is satisfied by the divine good alone as its last end."
St. Thomas in Summa contra Gentiles
You have made us, O Lord, for yourself, and our heart is restless until it rests in you. (Confessions of St. Augustine, 1)
We all want to live happily; in the whole human race there is no one who does not assent to this proposition, even before it is fully articulated. How is it, then, that I seek you, Lord? Since in seeking you, my God, I seek a happy life, let me seek you so that my soul may live, for my body draws life from my soul and my soul draws life from you. [3]St. Augustine
God alone satisfies and infinitely surpasses man’s desires, which therefore can never rest except in God.
St. Thomas Aquinas

St. Thomas Aquinas
The goal of this life
The goal of this life is twofold. One part we acquire, with the help of divine grace, through our efforts and virtuous works. This is to offer God a pure heart, free from all stain of actual sin. We do this when we are perfect and in Cherith, that is, hidden in that charity of which the Wise Man says: "Charity covers all sins " [Prov. 10:12]. God desired Elijah to advance thus far when he said to him: "Hide yourself by the brook Cherith " [1 Kgs. 17:3-4].
The other part of the goal of this life is granted us as the free gift of God: namely, to taste somewhat in the heart and to experience in the soul, not only after death but even in this mortal life, the intensity of the divine presence and the sweetness of the glory of heaven. This is to drink of the torrent of the love of God. God promised it to Elijah in the words: "You shall drink from the brook. "
- Felip Ribot, O.Carm., 13th century[2]

Whatever you do
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving" Colossians 3:23-25).
It may be the mundane , dull routine of every day that puts me down or the unrewarding task whose importance is only seen by the Lord , let me find the presence of God in it.
Inspire me dear Lord
Inspire me,
"Men invent means and methods of coming at God's love, they learn rules and set up devices to remind them of that love, and it seems like a world of trouble to bring oneself into the consciousness of God's presence. Yet it might be so simple. Is it not quicker and easier just to do our common business wholly for the love of him?"
For Brother Lawrence, "common business," no matter how mundane or routine, was the medium of God's love. The issue was not the sacredness or worldly status of the task but the motivation behind it. "Nor is it needful that we should have great things to do. . . We can do little things for God; I turn the cake that is frying on the pan for love of him, and that done, if there is nothing else to call me, I prostrate myself in worship before him, who has given me grace to work; afterwards I rise happier than a king. It is enough for me to pick up but a straw from the ground for the love of God."

God's leading
"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" (Prov 3:5-6).
Circumstances in our lives may impact us in such a way that we may get tempted to think of the weight of past failures and as defense against the forthcoming failures we may think of some means to use our own wisdom rather than leaning on God.Many of our fear of failure are fears of past.Let us always lean on the bosom of our Lord Christ for He has our future secure in His hands and nothing can perturb His plans concerning us.
“I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess”
“Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things we do not see.”
Martin Luther quotes
The Lord has promis'd good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

Hannah Senesh's poems
When i read about Hannah Senesh i was moved by her courage and integrity.I was inspired to know that a woman such a tender age as 22, so courageously marched forward into the German occupied Hungary in order to save the Jews who were to be sent to Auschwitz .She kept true to her calling, never reveled her missions when she was caught and tortured.She continued penning down lines and poems and kept singing in the ghetto where she was awaiting her trial.Truly a noble woman , a role model for youngsters.
My God, My God, I pray that these things never end,
The sand and the sea,
The rustle of the waters,
Lightning of the Heavens,
The prayer of Man.
The voice called, and I went.
I went, because the voice called.
One - two - three... eight feet long
Two strides across, the rest is dark...
Life is a fleeting question mark
One - two - three... maybe another week.
Or the next month may still find me here,
But death, I feel is very near.
I could have been 23 next July
I gambled on what mattered most, the dice were cast. I lost.

Rudolf Höss and Holocaust
The first commandant of Auschwitz concentration camp, from 4 May 1940 to November 1943.Born into a strict Catholic family, raised on strict religious principles,turned against religion in his late teens.Höss formally renounced his membership in the Catholic Church in 1922 and joined the military after hearing Hitler's speech.
By his own admission in his autobiography Höss said that he disliked the corporal punishment carried out by the guards of the camps on the prisoners (he avoided them as much as he could), but when he saw his first execution it did not affect him as the corporal punishment had. In his autobiography, he could not explain why that was.
At the time when he was Blockführer Höss said that, because of the people he had met and the things he had experienced, he regretted leaving the chosen path that his parents had mapped out for him in the church
Höss wrote his autobiography while awaiting execution; it was published in 1958 as Kommandant in Auschwitz; autobiographische Aufzeichnungen[16] and later as Death Dealer: the Memoirs of the SS Kommandant at Auschwitz (among other editions).
Four days before he was hanged, Höss sent a message to the state prosecutor, including these comments:
“ My conscience compels me to make the following declaration. In the solitude of my prison cell I have come to the bitter recognition that I have sinned gravely against humanity. As Commandant of Auschwitz I was responsible for carrying out part of the cruel plans of the 'Third Reich' for human destruction. In so doing I have inflicted terrible wounds on humanity. I caused unspeakable suffering for the Polish people in particular. I am to pay for this with my life. May the Lord God forgive one day what I have done

The Holocaust-excerpts of victory of the human spirit.
In every ghetto, in every deportation train, in every labor camp, even in the death camps, the will to resist was strong, and took many forms. Fighting with the few weapons that would be found, individual acts of defiance and protest, the courage of obtaining food and water under the threat of death, the superiority of refusing to allow the Germans their final wish to gloat over panic and despair. Even passivity was a form of resistance. To die with dignity was a form of resistance. To resist the demoralizing, brutalizing force of evil, to refuse to be reduced to the level of animals, to live through the torment, to outlive the tormentors, these too were acts of resistance. Merely to give a witness of these events in testimony was, in the end, a contribution to victory. Simply to survive was a victory of the human spirit."

William Wordsworth Quotes
Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.
I listened, motionless and still; And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more.
Life is divided into three terms - that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present to live better in the future.
That best portion of a man's life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love
The child is father of the man.
The flower that smells the sweetest is shy and lowly.

William Wordsworth (1770 - 1850)
A romantic poet of england who focussed more on nature , children and layman in his poems.
Along with coleridge he brought in the romantic era in english poetry.He developed his love for nature from her sister Dorothy to whom he was very closely bonded.Being raised up in a place called Lake district , he was attracted towards nature.Wordsworth's main works were done between 1797 and 1808.Later he moved on to works having a bend towards autobiographical touch.
"Poetry is the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge; it is the impassioned expression which is in the countenance of all Science." (from Lyrical Ballads, 2nd ed., 1800)
His definition of poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings arising from emotion recollected in tranquillity" was shared by a number of his followers.

Identity in Christ
The following text from daily parenting devotional impressed me a lot.I myself have struggled with the identity issue. As explained down , the tags and labels that we often carry with ourselves distract us from focusing on what the Lord would want out of us, it rather makes us to give priority to others opinion about ourselves.
Matt. 19:16, 21-22: Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?"... Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth (NIV).
Like the rich man, sometimes we find ourselves chasing after the validation that comes from worldly identities-the competent businessman, the skilled athlete, the organized housewife, even the committed Christian. After we have kids, being the parent of successful children is often added to the list. But focusing on these goals will cause us to become dependent on the opinions of people and less dependent on God. Success or failure in the world's eyes can turn on a dime. God wants us to surrender all of these for complete dependence on Him.
What is your identity?

John of the Cross ,Dark Night of the Soul
Dark Night of the Soul
When, therefore, the four passions of the soul—which are joy, grief, hope and fear—are calmed through continual mortification; when the natural desires have been lulled to sleep, in the sensual nature of the soul, by means of habitual times of aridity; and when the harmony of the senses and the interior faculties causes a suspension of labour and a cessation from the work of meditation, as we have said (which is the dwelling and the household of the lower part of the soul), these enemies cannot obstruct this spiritual liberty, and the house remains at rest and quiet, as says the following line:
My house being now at rest.
WHEN this house of sensuality was now at rest—that is, was mortified—its passions being quenched and its desires put to rest and lulled to sleep by means of this blessed night of the purgation of sense, the soul went forth, to set out upon the road and way of the spirit, which is that of progressives and proficients, and which, by another name, is called the way of illumination or of infused contemplation, wherein God Himself feeds and refreshes the soul, without meditation, or the soul’s active help. Such, as we have said, is the night and purgation of sense in the soul.

florence nightingale
Women never have a half-hour in all their lives (excepting before or after anybody is up in the house) that they can call their own, without fear of offending or of hurting someone. Why do people sit up so late, or, more rarely, get up so early? Not because the day is not long enough, but because they have 'no time in the day to themselves.' [1852]
