The best thing to give to your enemy is forgiveness; to an opponent, tolerance; to a friend, your heart; to your child, a good example; to a father, deference; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you; to yourself, respect; to all men, charity. ~ Francis Maitland Balfour ~ "'He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A GOD of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He."' ~ DEUTERONOMY 32:4 NKJV

GOD opens millions of flowers, without forcing the buds. It reminds us not to force anything, for things happen in the right time. ~Unkhown ~ "'For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry."' ~ HABAKKUK 2:3 NKJV

Prayer has power to govern our tongues. ~ Unknown ~ "'But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our GOD and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of GOD. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so."' ~ JAMES 3:8-10 NKJV ~ GOD can and will tame our tongue in answer to believing prayer. Pray:'"Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips."' ~ PSALM 141:3 NKJV

'"Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Keep watch over the door of my lips."' ~ PSALM 141:3 NKJV ~ When the LORD becomes the guard of our mouth the whole man is well governed. GOD has made our lips the door of the mouth, but we cannot keep that door of ourselves, therefore do we entreat the LORD to take the rule of it. O that the LORD would both open and shut our lips, for we can do neither the one nor the other aright if left to ourselves. In times of persecution by ungodly men we are peculiarly liable to speak hastily, or evasively, and therefore we should be specially anxious to be preserved in that direction from every form of sin. How condescending is the LORD! We are ennobled by being door keepers for him, and yet he deigns to be a door keeper for us. ~ Charles H. Spurgeon

Give and Take... For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life. And to the flower a bee is a messenger of love. And to both, bee and flower, the giving and the receiving is a need and an ecstasy. - Kahlil Gibran ~ "'Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”' ~ LUKE 6:38 NKJV

We don't live in our realm of feelings and emotions. We live in GOD's reality called Faith. ~ Pastor Joseph Prince ~ "'Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."' ~ HEBREWS 11:1 NKJV

When we can't reach lost souls on our feet, we can always reach them on our knees. ~ Paul Friederichsen ~ "'But certainly GOD has heard me; He has attended to the voice of my prayer."' ~ PSALM 66:19 NKJV
