to the will of God.

To enjoy making much of Him all your days.
Here is your fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore.
Not in being made much of, but in making much of Him.

Love is dying

True love looks outward instead of inward.
It means loving others more than ourselves.
It means dying to our selfish desires, and living to serve others.

True love means dying.

“Love…is not self-seeking…”

A tribute to Godly Mothers

Your High Calling

To be well known to every man.
And through your arms would gather fast
The whole world to His heart at last.
