“It is precisely in the “slop-bucket job”—the work that we abhor—where we will find God the most. We do not need to have good feelings or a warm glow in order to do work for the glory of God. All good work is pleasing to the Father. Even the jobs that seem meaningless and mindless to us are highly valued in the order of the kingdom of God. God values the ordinary.”
― Richard J. Foster, Seeking the Kingdom: Devotions for the Daily Journey of Faith

“Never a trial that He is not there, Never a burden that He doth not bear, Never a sorrow that He doth not share, Moment by moment, I’m under His care.”
― Robert J. Morgan, Near To The Heart Of God

“Healing comes only by walking with God through our brokenness, never by avoiding it and pretending it isn’t there.”
― Jamin Goggin, Beloved Dust: Drawing Close to God by Discovering the Truth About Yourself

“Another year is dawning, dear Father, let it be In working or in waiting, another year with Thee. Another year of progress, another year of praise, Another year of proving Thy presence all the days. Another year of mercies, of faithfulness and grace, Another year of gladness in the shining of Thy face; Another year of leaning upon Thy loving breast; Another year of trusting, of quiet, happy rest. Another year of service, of witness for Thy love, Another year of training for holier work above. Another year is dawning, dear Father, let it be On earth, or else in Heaven, another year for Thee.”
― Robert J. Morgan, Near To The Heart Of God
