Good Morning, Ministry Partner!

Be Encouraged by God's Word
I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

— Revelation 5:2-5, NIV

Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims

Heat cannot be separated from fire, or beauty from The Eternal.

Pray Together with Us

Prayer
Dear Jesus,
help me to spread Your fragrance everywhere I go.
Flood my soul with Your Spirit and life.
Penetrate and posses my whole being so utterly that my life may only be a radiance of Yours.
Shine through me, and be so in me,
That every soul I come in contact with may feel Your presence in my soul.
Let them look up and see
no longer me but only Jesus!
Stay with me, and then I shall begin to shine as Your shine: so to shine as to be a light to others.
Amen.

— John Henry Newman
