“By July 10 she was comfortably ensconced in a room of
the China Inland Mission in Shanghai. She made it her own by hanging family
photos and the mottoes she cherished:
FAITH IS THE VICTORY, CHRIST THE CONQUEROR, NOT I BUT
CHRIST, JUST FOR TODAY
and a single embroidered word, RABBONI, Mary’s word when
she saw the risen Christ: My Master!
On the table lay a calendar with the words, “The Lord
thinketh upon me.” She reminded her correspondents of the million a month dying
without Christ in China, and the eighty thousand dead of plague in Hong Kong in
the previous few weeks.”
‘To any whom the Divine Hand is beckoning: count the
cost, for He tells us to, but take your
slate to the foot of the Cross and add up the figures there.’”
I am trying to simplify my life this year and my notorious desk. (Bob will be cheering when he reads that because he sees it every day!) Perhaps I can adorn it with these or similar sayings of inspiration.
Better yet, see tomorrow's blog for a meditation idea from a long ago Christian tract in India.
