In some way or other we will have to learn the difference between trusting in the gift and trusting in the Giver. The gift may be good for a while, but the Giver is the Eternal Love.

F.B.Meyer

Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh,
When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee;
Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight,
Dawns the sweet consciousness I am with Thee.

Alone with Thee amid the mystic shadows,
The solemn hush of nature newly born;
Alone with Thee in breathless adoration,
In the calm dew and freshness of the morn.

Still, still with Thee! as to each newborn morning
A fresh and solemn splendor still is given,
So does this blessed consciousness, awaking,
Breathe each day nearness unto Thee and heaven.

When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber,
Its closing eyes look up to Thee in prayer;
Sweet the repose beneath Thy wings o'ershading,
But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there.

So shall it be at last, in that bright morning,
When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee;
O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning,
Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with Thee.

Harriet Beecher Stowe

To those with a burden:

Surely you have heard of Jesus Christ . At the least, you may have heard his name spoken. Or perhaps you may have some vague, imprecise sense of who he is. Maybe to you he was a wise, kind teacher. Or just a babe in a manger. But do you know he loves you and died for you? Do you know he can be your Savior and shepherd? Do you know he is your maker and is the Lord of all? Come to him today!

"Casting all your care upon him, for he cares for you" 1 Peter 5:7

"Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved" Acts 16:31

"I know thy burden, child; I shaped it, poised in Mine own hand, made no proportion in its weight to thine unaided strength; for even as I laid it on I said,

‘I shall be near, and while he leans on Me, this burden shall be Mine, not his; so shall I keep My child within the circling arms of Mine own love.’

“Here lay it down, nor fear to impose it on a shoulder which upholds the government of the worlds. Yet closer come, thou art not near enough; I would embrace thy care, so I might feel My child reposing on My breast."

“Thou lovest Me? I know it. Doubt not, then, but, loving Me, lean hard.”

-Octavius Wilson
