It may seem impossible to keep a good perspective, to maintain a loving disposition so essential to a pleasant day.
Try as you will to be gentle, kind, and patient, your mind is clouded. You come to the close of a long, unhappy day disturbed, defeated, and discouraged. You have done your best, but you feel like a failure.
You fall upon your knees with only tears for a prayer. Lift up your eyes and see who will help. Before His sweet smile the shadows flee away; at His Word new strength is given. Your work is easier, and life is better again.” ~J.R. Miller

Dear Sally,

GOd is using you, dear one. Several times I have come via my reader (is that what you call it?) and your message is hard and true, gentle and strong, all at the same time. It is what I need in that moment.
Thank you!
