Because He Love Us
Author Unknown

Our heavenly Father loves us and because of this love, He sometimes takes away our precious things as they may be harmful or hindering.  He deals with us, on occasion, as an ancient painter had to with his pupil.

The young artist was a genius, and produced a picture of much merit and was greatly admired by all.  His young heart swelled with vanity. He laid aside his palette and pencil, and sat daily before his easel, admiring the offspring of his own genius.

One morning, he found his beautiful creation expunged from the canvas.  He wept bitterly.  His master appeared and said, “I have done this for your benefit.  The picture was ruining you.”

“How so?” demanded the pupil.

“Because, by admiration your own talents, you were losing your love of the art itself.  Take your pencil, and try again.”

The youth dried his tears, seized his pencil, and produced a masterpiece, which, but for this severe trial,  would in all probability have never produced.

Do not spend any time admiring what God allowed to be done through you.  He allowed a donkey to talk and could have the rocks speak, so it is no wonder what he could do with you if you were obedient. Be grateful for His blessing on your life and seek to be used by Him again.

Giving
Author Unknown

The sun gives ever; so the earth,
What it can give so much ‘tis worth;
The ocean gives in many ways;
Gives paths, gives fishes, rivers, bays;
So, too, the air, it gives us breath;
When it stops giving comes in death.
Give, give, be always giving;
Who gives not is not living.
The more you give,
The more you live.

God’s love hath to us wealth upheaped;
Only by giving it is reaped.
The body withers, and the mind,
If pent in by selfish rind,
Give strength, give thought, give deeds, give pelf,
Give love, give tears, and give thyself;
Who gives not is not living.
The more we give,
The more we live.

(* “pelf” is money or riches.)

Wise Words:
“Fire, hammer, and file are necessary to give metal a form, and it must have many a grind and rub to make it shine.  So in trials, one’s character is also shaped, beautified, and brightened.”  — S. Coley
