Christ Is Available...

The glorious truth is that Christ is immediately available to us as we are and where we are. God has made Him as accessible to us as sinners as He possibly can... His blood has made Him available to the sinner as a sinner and to the failing saint as a failing saint, if he will only admit that that is what he is. The word we need in order to contact Him is right in our mouth and in our heart, the simple word of confession and faith.

The Way To Peace

The way to peace and victory is to accept every circumstance, every trial, straight from the hand of a loving Father; and to live up in the heavenly places, above the clouds, in the very presence of the throne, and to look down from the glory upon our environment as lovingly and divinely appointed.

Suffering With Christ

When Christ was in the world, He was despised by men; in the hour of need He was forsaken by acquaintances and left by friends to the depths of scorn. He was willing to suffer and to be despised; do you dare complain of anything? He had enemies and defamers; do you want everyone to be your friend, your benefactor? How can your patience be rewarded if nor adversity tests it? How can you be a friend of Christ if you are not willing to suffer any hardship? Suffer with Christ and for Christ if you wish to reign with him.

The Imitation of Christ, Thomas A Kempis
