The Great Exchange

We exchange our weariness for His strength.

Our weakness for His power

Our darkness for His light

Our problems for His solutions

Our burdens for His freedom

Our frustrations for His peace

Our turmoil for His calm

Our hopes for His promises

Our afflictions for His balm of comfort

Our questions for His answers

Our confusion for His knowledge

Our doubts for His assurance

Our nothingness for His awesomeness

The temporal for the eternal

And the impossible for the possible.

-excerpt from A Woman After God’s Own Heart by Elizabeth George

The Cost of Fighting for the Faith

“It may cost us everything to do something,

But it will cost us more to do nothing;”

- Mike Huckabee, Central Oregon Men’s Summit, Sept. 2008

Make No Mistake

Being perplexed I say,

Lord make it right.

Nights is as day to Thee,

Darkness is light.

I am afraid to touch

Things that involve so much  -

My trembling hand may shake

My skill-less hand may break

Thine can make no mistake.

Anna B. Warner
