When he was not yet 4 years old, Itzhak Perlman was stricken by polio, making him unable to use his legs. But he compensated for that loss by devoting himself to his violin. In the years that followed, he delighted multitudes of people with his music. He lost the use of his legs but his music gave him wings. What an inspiring example of devotion!
Some of God's servants have shown a similar devotion to their Lord. They have suffered the loss of certain abilities but have been inspired to develop other capacities for service. For example, when William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, discovered that he was going blind, he did not surrender to despair. With a positive outlook, he told his colleagues that he had served Christ while he could see, and he would do his utmost to serve Him even when blind.
What motivates Christians to keep on serving and following Jesus to the best of their ability despite loss or hardship? Like Abraham, we live by faith. We look beyond this life and wait "for the city . . . whose builder and maker is God" (Hebrews 11:10). It's "a better . . . heavenly country" (v.16).
May the Holy Spirit empower us to glorify Christ—no matter what our limitations. —Vernon Grounds
Circumstances that imprison us cannot limit God's work through us.
We're doomed!
Good evening Mayor!
Thank you for the wonderful Hot Chocolate and daily words of wisdom. I try reading them to tomkow, but he never listens. I figure when lightning strikes him, he'll know God wants his attention ASAP.

Dreadful that the Evil Child got first, huh?
Chubby CheckerS?
I love to nit-pick!
Thanks for the tunes!
What? No James and Bobby Purify? (Just kidding -- any selection that includes Bull Moose Jackson and Lester Young is fine by me.)
