There’s a man with nothing in his hands, nothing but a rolling stone. He says when his house burnt down, he lost everything he owned. He lay on the hospital bed for six whole weeks; they were considering asking his mother to choose whether they should continue keeping him on life support.
When he woke up with nothing he said I’ll tell you something:
Little Carol came into the kitchen where her other was making dinner. Her birthday was coming up and she thought this was a good time to tell her mother what she wanted. “Mom, I want a bike for my birthday.”
Now, Little Carol was a bit of a troublemaker. She had gotten into trouble at school and at home. Carol’s mother asked her if she thought she deserved to get a bike for her birthday. Little Carol, of course, thought she did.
Carol’s mother, being a Christian woman, wanted her to reflect on her behavior over the last year, and write a letter to God and tell him why she deserved a bike for her birthday. Little Carol stomped up the steps to her room and sat down to write God a letter.
The boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had not phoned in sick one day. Having an urgent problem with one of the main computers, he dialled the employee’s home phone number and was greeted with a child’s whisper.
‘ Hello ?‘
‘Is your daddy home?’ he asked.
‘ Yes,’ whispered the small voice.
May I talk with him?’
The child whispered, ‘ No.’
My Child,
You may not know me, but I know everything about you.
Psalm 139:1

Somehow that never has meant much to me,
And I can’t say I am thankful for the things I have.
I’m a hell of a guy living a hell of a lie.
When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together… that it is inconceivable that you should ever part…because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness. It is not excitement. It is not the desire to mate every second of the day.
it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body.
“Christians have become dramatic with us,”wrote Pastor Richard Wurmbrand, a leader of the underground church in communist Romania. “When Christians in free countries win a soul for Christ, the new believer may become a member of a quietly living church. But when those in captive nations win someone, we know that he may have to go to prison and that his children may become orphans or homeless or both. The joy of having brought someone to Christ is always mixed with this feeling that there is a price that has to be paid.”
“When I was still living behind the iron curtain, I had met a Russian captain. He loved God, he longed after God, but he had never seen a Bible. He had never attended religious services. He had no religious education, but he loved God without the slightest knowledge of Him. Continue reading
