Hearts for Him

"Give us, O Lord, steadfast hearts that cannot be dragged down by false loves; give us courageous hearts that cannot be worn down by trouble; give us righteous hearts that cannot be sidetracked by unholy or unworthy goals. Give to us also, our Lord and God, understanding to know You, wisdom to recognize You, and a faithfulness that will bring us to see You face to face." ~Thomas a Kempis
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me." ~ Psalm 51:10

SNOW!?!? Is that from recently? It's been in the 70s in KY today!

As to the quotes, they are timely for me right now, and remind me of one of my favorite passages:

"We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies" (2 Cor. 4:8-10).

Thanks for sharing.

I WISH snow!!! lol No, it must just be the way it looks...as it's pretty warm here for Nov., as well. Speaking of snow...when getting our new phone number today, I tried to get the last 4 digits to spell SNOW, :)...but the digits weren't available. So I'm with you in spirit...snow can come anytime!

Oh, I love that verse, Sam. It's a holder-onto verse for me, especially when the seas get rough. God is so good how He never lets us go through more than we can bear. During these past 6 months, that verse has been one that I have literally clung to...I LOVE how He always comforts and encourages through His word!!
