Make Our Heart Your Temple

I promised myself not to share daily excerpts but there are so many I'd like to share....

A prayer from Soren Kierkegaard...

Lord! Make our heart Your temple in which You live. Grant that every impure thought, every earthly desire might be like the idol Dagon - each morning broken at the feet of the Ark of the Covenant. Teach us to master flesh and blood and let this mastery of ourselves be our bloody sacrifce in order that we might be able to say with the Apostle: "I die every day." Devotional Classics, page 353.


This goes is such a perfect mental image of where I've been the past year...Deny Self, Take up the Cross, Follow.

Choosing Joy!

    I have an older version of this book, but have not read it yet. You have peaked my interest and I'm going to dig it out and start reading.

Your speech should always be gracious, {as though} seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer each person.
