Prodigal: What can we focus on today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: I have something<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from H. E. Manning<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of obedience and devotion arises an habitual faith, which makes Him, though unseen, a part of all our life. He will guide us in a sure path, though it be a rough one: though shadows hang upon it, yet He will be with us. He will bring us home at last. Through much trial it may be, and weariness, in much fear and fainting of heart, in much sadness and loneliness, in griefs that the world never knows, and under burdens that the nearest never suspect. Yet He will suffice for all. By His eye or by His voice He will guide us, if we be docile and gentle; by His staff and by His rod, if we wander or are wilful: any how, and by all means, He will bring up to His rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. Mark 6:3 (KJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jennifer Van Allen<\/p>\n\n\n\n
