Step for a moment out of Harris prayer requests.
Let time and demands for a little while fade.
Now ... be encouraged beyond headlines & deadlines...
beyond banks, bills,
and country borders
as you consider...

With so much need
in the world today
one could become numb. Don't succumb!
Every little effort of ministry matters to people and to God.In gratitude share hope received. Its kind of like the starfish story, where one individual took it upon himself to cast back into the sea as many of the thousands of beached starfish that he could reach. When confronted with suggestions of futility, he simply picked up another starfish, hurled it back into the sea, and commented "made a difference to that one." Schindler had a similar attitude as he sought to save Jews from Hitler's gas chambers.
Each man made a difference.
Those helped to survive, multiplied
On those that died? ~ ~ ~
Never from failure to try.
Love survives.
God, perfect in love and justice,
still reigns forevermore.
Stay in the mercy fight.
His return His Day
will then set all things right.

The darkness
of despair
retreats
with each
mere flicker
of light.
Small flames
combine
to blaze
new warmth
through once
bleak
hopeless
nights.
Walk with
the Lord
today
Enjoy
being one
of His
little
precious
lights.
