Letters to My Friend - Don't Let Your Story Die

Dear Friend,

Don't let your story die.

 - unknown -

I don't remember where I found this quote, but it is a thought of profound importance. I think that one of the reasons some people's lives become so empty and barren before they physically die is because they let their story die. They give up in their minds or their hearts and they stop trying. This is sad. It is also a very poor use of the one precious life we have been given by God.

For the Christian this is doubled because it is not only a waste of life, it is a waste of the spiritual life that God has given us as well. We never come to a point in our lives where we are allowed to quit being a Christian and just live out the rest of our days. I have known people who have quit on life before their time was up. I have known Christians who at some point sat down and turned all their ministries over to other people and mostly or entirely stopped trying.

Evening Song - That Very Moment

 
Psalm 6:4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies' sake. 

John 1:12-13 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

He Is My Light - A Poem by Martha Snell Nicholson

He Is My Light

He is the light in my dark sky,

My Bright and Morning Star;

The softly gleaming lamps of home

Which beckon from afar.

He is the lantern at me feet

To guide me on my way;

The moving pillar of bright fire

Which turns my night to day.

He is the beacon on the shore

Which warns me from the shoal;

The living, glowing blaze which warms

The chilled hearth of my soul.

Why should my heart know any fear

Of earthly, harkened things?

He is my Sun of Righteousness,

With tender, healing wings!

Martha Snell Nicholson

Malachi 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings...

Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 

Evening Song - When He Comes In Glory By and By

Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 

1 John 3:2-3 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

Word of the Day - Alive

Revelation 1:17-18 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Psalm 22:28-29 For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations. All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before him: and none can keep alive his own soul.

1 Samuel 2:6 The LORD killeth, and maketh alive: he bringeth down to the grave, and bringeth up.
