"Give me the Love that leads the way, the Faith that nothing can dismay. The hope no disappointments tire, the passion that'll burn like fire. Let me not sink to be a clod, make me Thy fuel, flame of God." -Amy Carmichael

I pray that I will strive to be like this set apart woman... whose eyes are always gazing at the Cross where Jesus, the Lover of her soul, died for her: "The set apart young woman not only acknowledges Jesus to be her King, but her heart is full of loving devotion to Him as such. Nothing can make her heart leap like the mention of that august, that more than royal name. She remembers what Jesus did, how He loved her, and gave Himself for her; she looks to the Cross and remembers the streams of blood whereby she was redeemed, even when she was an enemy of God. She remembers Christ in heaven, enthroned at the right hand of the Father, and she loves Him there, and it ravishes her heart to think that God hath highly exalted the once-despised and rejected One, and given Him a name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth. She pants for the time when the Crucified shall come in His glory, and rule the nations as their liege Lord. She loves Jesus so that she feels she belongs to Him altogether, bought with His blood, redeemed by His power, and comforted by His presence; she delights to know that she is not her own, for she is bought with a price.... She loves her King, and loves Him with an ardor unquenchable, for many waters cannot drown His love, neither can the floods quench it." ~Charles Spurgeon (Leslie Ludy) "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?" -Jesus "Today you are you, that is truer than true.  There is no one alive who is YOUER than you!" -Dr. Seuss  "Lives are never uprooted if they are rooted in God."
