Christian Quotation of the Day

May 4, 2006

Feast of English Saints & Martyrs of the Reformation

Meditation:
    Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
    -- Romans 12:21 (ESV)

Quotation:
    If it be the earnest desire, and longing of your heart, to be merciful as he is merciful; to be full of his unwearied patience, to dwell in his unalterable meekness; if you long to be like him in universal, impartial love; if you desire to communicate every good, to every creature that you are able; if you love and practice everything that is good, righteous, and lovely, for its own sake, because it is good, righteous, and lovely; and resist no evil, but with goodness; then you have the utmost certainty, that the Spirit of God lives, dwells, and governs in you.
    ... William Law (1686-1761), The Spirit of Prayer, 2.3-67 [1749]

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, Your goodness is better and stronger than any evil.
