CQOD: 12/29/07 -- Brainerd: how precious is time!

Christian Quotation of the Day

December 29, 2007

Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170

Meditation:
    [Jesus:] I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.
    -- John 15:1-3 (NIV)

Quotation:
    Oh, how precious is time, and how it pains me to see it slide away, while I do so little to any good purpose. Oh, that God would make me more fruitful and spiritual.
    ... Journal of David Brainerd (1718-1747)

---

Quiet time reflection:
    Fill Your people, Lord, that we may display the fruits of Your Spirit.
