04/02/2022 – “In your behalf my heart says, ‘Seek my face.’ Lord, I will seek your face.” Psalm 27:7

Like a “deer panting for water”…… By God’s grace, the indwelling Holy Spirit within me… “Tranformation” – “Metamorphoo” (old Greek) – like a snail to a butterfly. …

03/27/2022 – “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.” Voltaire / 1765 essay

03/12/2022 – “To have Faith in Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.” ― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

02/26/2022 – ““In all places and at all times, we can have that familiar friendship, we can have Him with us; and there may be through the day a constant interchange of private words, of little offerings, too small to have any name attached to them—by which the bonds of that familiar friendship grow closer and more real, until it comes to that special personal intimacy, which we call sanctity.” – Janet Erskine Stuart, 1857-1914

Soli Deo Gloria!
