Hold Thou Thy cross

                     before my closing eyes;

            Shine through the gloom

                     and point me to the skies;

            Heaven’s morning breaks,

                     and earth’s vain shadows flee;

            In life, in death, O Lord,

                     abide in me.    – Henry Francis  Lyte

I have a great need for Christ; I have a great Christ for my need. – Spurgeon

I am not what I ought to be.  I am not what I wish to be.  I am not even what I hope to be.  But by the cross of Christ, I am not what I was. – John Newton

  1. Sandy,
    Thank you for those quotes.
    I absolutely love John Newton’s! That is so, so true…

    Dale Carnegie’s is one I needed to hear today. Keep on trying, even if there seems to be no hope.

    I’ll keep Spurgeon’s in mind too..

    In fact, all those quotes are worth remembering!
