Tuesday, May 4, 2010
    Feast of English Saints & Martyrs of the Reformation
Meditation:
    Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.
    —1 Peter 4:12-13 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Sanctified afflictions are spiritual promotions.

Quiet time reflection:
    Through Your chastening, Lord, I come to know that I am Your child. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
