Online! | Re: | | "Look upon us, O Lord, and let all the darkness of our souls vanish before the beams of thy brightness. Fill us with holy love, and open to us the treasures of thy wisdom. All our desire is known unto thee, therefore perfect what thou hast begun, and what thy Spirit has awakened us to ask in prayer. We seek thy face, turn thy face unto us and show us thy glory. Then shall our longing be satisfied, and our peace shall be perfect." - Augustine

| Re: | | "Humility is not the trait of thinking of self as being of less worth. Humility is not thinking of self at all, whether good or bad. Humility is thinking of others and seeking their advancement. For you to be thinking about your condition and trying to be humble is pride itself, for it is valuing yourself above others, that is, measuring yourself against what you perceive they are thinking about you. Stop considering your humility and use your energies and confidence to help others." - Michael Pearl |

Online! | Re: | | "To serve the Lord is to perform a holy service. It means being called to be God's co- worker, subject to special demands from Him. So apply God's holy standard to yourself. Be prepared to come daily before the holiness of God, so that your life, nature and deeds are purified in the fire of His judgment and cleansed by the blood of the Lamb. Such purification by judgment and grace empowers your life, words and service, and you will be privileged to call many to God." - Basilea Shlink

Online! | Re: | | "The proud think that their opinion alone is right. They cannot see the good points of others, as the humble do, and appreciate their opinions. That is why there is such disagreement, strife and quarrelling and even irrreconciliation in families and in other groups." - Basilea Schlink
