Wednesday's Wisdom

"My Saviour wept that all tears might be wiped from my eyes, groaned that I might have endless song...bore a thorned crown that I might have a glory-diadem, bowed his head that I might lift mine...Go forth, O conquering God, and show me the cross, mighty to subdue, comfort and save."

The Valley of Vision

Wednesday's Wisdom

"May I view all things in the mirror of eternity, waiting for the coming of the Lord, listening for the last trumpet call, hastening unto the new heaven and earth...may I speak each word as if my last word, and walk each step as my final one. If my life should end today, let this be my best day."
