thoughts on several topics.

ON LOVE:
There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching
down and lifting people up.
To ease another's heartache is to forget one's own.
A child's prayer: "Dear God, make all the bad people good,
and make all the good people nice."
You never so touch the ocean of God's love as when you forgive
& love your enemies. --Corrie Ten Boom
Love can wait to give; it is lust that can't wait to get.

He that loveth not knoweth

not God; for--Josh
God
is love!
McDowell

Encouragement is like premium gasoline.

1John 4:8
It helps to take the knock out of living.
Duty makes us do things well,
but love makes us do them beautifully.
A smile of encouragement at the right moment may
act like sunlight on a closed-up flower
--it may be the turning point for a struggling

Blessed are the flexible
for they shall not be bent out of shape.
Luke 9:23-24
The Christian is called upon to live a supernatural life,
& has been given the power to live

ON GREATNESS:
I believe the first test of a truly great man is his humility.
The measure of a man's greatness is not the number of
servants he has, but the number of people he serves.
Weak men wait for opportunities; strong men make them.
Great men, like the tallest mountain, retain their majesty
& stability during the most severe storm.

"But he who is greatest among

you shall be your servant.

It takes a great man to give sound advice tactfully,

Matthew 23:11
but a greater man to accept it graciously.
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions.
Small people always do that, but the really great make
you feel that you too can become great.
--Mark Twain

until it hurts,
Luke 6:38
most of us have a very low
threshold of pain.
Some give their mite; some give with all their might;

ON ENTHUSIASM:
"Every great movement in the annals of history," said Emerson,
"is the triumph of enthusiasm. It is derived, that magic name,
from two Greek words: "en" meaning "in" & "theos" meaning
"God." Enthusiasm is literally "God in us." The enthusiastic man
is one who speaks as if he were possessed by God.
We rarely support the things we support with the enthusiasm
with which we oppose the things we oppose.
Enthusiasm is a good engine, but it needs intelligence for a driver.
Enthusiasm & persistence can make an average person superior;
Ecclesiastic 9:10a KJV
indifference & lethargy can make a superior person average.
Enthusiasm is the all-essential human jet propellant. It is the
driving force which elevates men to miracle workers. It begets
boldness, courage; kindles confidence; overcomes doubts. It
creates endless energy, the source of all accomplishment.

Whatsoever thy hand findeth

to do, do it with thy might
