Topics: "Gods Purpose", "Spiritual Growth" Scripture References: Psalm 37:7, 2 Corinthians 4:11, Ephesians 2:10, James 4:13, 1 Peter 2:9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mary Wilder Tileston preaches about how the challenges and struggles we face in our daily lives, when endured with patience and meekness, prepare our hearts to be dwelling places for God, allowing His sacred loveliness to shine through us. Arthur C. A. Hall emphasizes that God has a specific purpose, work, place, influence, and likeness to His Son for each of us to fulfill. F. W. Faber highlights the importance of living in the present moment to understand God's eternal purposes, as His will is revealed to us in small fragments that we must piece together to fulfill our calling. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ That the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 2 CORINTHIANS 4:11 THE fretting friction of our daily life, Heart-weariness with loving patience borne, The meek endurance of the inward strife, The painful crown of thorn, Prepare the heart for God's own dwelling-place, Adorn with sacred loveliness His shrine, And brighten every inconspicuous grace, For God alone to shine. MARY E. ATKINSON GOD has a purpose for each one of us, a work for each one to do, a place for each one to fill, an influence for each one to exert, a likeness to His dear Son for each one to manifest, and then, a place for each one to fill in His holy Temple. ARTHUR C. A. HALL The surest method of arriving at a knowledge of God's eternal purposes about us is to be found in the right use of the present moment. God's will does not come to us in the whole, but in fragments, and generally in small fragments. It is our business to piece it together, and to live it into one orderly vocation. F. W.
