♥MAY 14 MORNING ♥The fellowship of His sufferings. ♥It is enough for the disciple that he be as His master, and the servant as his Lord. ♥He is despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were our faces from Him; He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. ♥In the world ye shall have tribulation. ♥Because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. ♥I looked for some to take pity, but there was none. ♥At...

♥EVENING MAY 13 ♥My heart pants, my strength fails me. ♥Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. ♥He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.

May 13, 2017 Saturday of the Fourth Week of Easter Reading 1 Acts 13:44-52On the following sabbathalmost the whole citygathered to hear the word of the Lord. When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousyand with violent abuse contradicted what Paul said. Both Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said,"It was necessary that the word of God be spoken to you first,but since you reject itand condemn yourselves as unworthy of eternal life,we now turn to the Gentiles. For so the Lord has commanded us,I have made you a light to the Gentiles,that you may...

MAY 12 EVENING ♥Reproach has broken my heart. ♥Is not this the carpenter's son? ♥Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? ♥Say we not well that you are a Samaritan, and have a devil? ♥He casts out devils through the prince of the devils. ♥We know that this man is a sinner. ♥He deceives the people. ♥This man blasphemes. ♥Behold a man gluttonous and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. ♥It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his Lord. ♥This is thankworthy, if a man for conscience...

MAY 12 MORNING ♥Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and everyone that loves is born of God, and knows God. ♥The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, which is given to us. ♥Ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. ♥He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself. ♥In this was manifested...

♥My sheep hear My voice. ♥Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: If any man hear My Voice, and open the door, 1 will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me. ♥I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled. I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave...

MAY 10 EVENING ♥Vanity of vanities; all is vanity.♥We spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. ♥If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. ♥Here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. ♥I am the Lord, I change not. ♥Our conversation (citizenship) is in heaven; from whence also...
