Me:\u00a0 How is your time going with your friend?<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Her heart is colder than a tombstone in January.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Well, maybe this will make her heart softer.<\/p>\n

Dan Crawford, the successor of the famous explorer, David Livingstone, was known for carrying a copy of the New Testament in the pocket of his jacket.\u00a0 After he died, this poem was found penned on the flyleaf of his well-worn book:<\/p>\n

I cannot do it alone!<\/p>\n

The waves dash fast and high;<\/p>\n

The fog comes chill around,<\/p>\n

And the light goes out in the sky.<\/p>\n

But know that we too shall win in the end–<\/p>\n

Jesus and I.<\/p>\n

Coward and wayward and weak,<\/p>\n

I change with the changing sky;<\/p>\n

Today so strong and brave,<\/p>\n

Tomorrow too weak to fly.<\/p>\n

But He never gives up,so we two shall win–<\/p>\n

Jesus and I.<\/p>\n

For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 2:21<\/p>\n

Jennifer Van Allen<\/p>\n
