    Emptied that Thou shouldest fill me,
    A clean vessel in Thy hand;
    With no power but as Thou givest
    Graciously with each command.

    Jesus, fill now with Thy Spirit
    Hearts that full surrender know;
    That the streams of living water
    From our inner man may flow.

    Channels only, blessèd Master,
    But with all Thy wondrous power
    Flowing through us, Thou canst use us
    Every day and every hour.

    —Mary E. Max­well, alt.

    To have real joy and be used by Him … 
    surrender is not simply an option.

    ~~~~

    If there be anything that is capable of setting the soul in a large place it is absolute abandonment to God.
    It diffuses in the soul a peace that flows like a river and the righteousness which is as the waves of the sea.
    ~ Francois Fenelon ~

    Few souls understand what God would accomplish in them if they were to abandon themselves unreservedly
    to Him and if they were to allow His grace to mould them accordingly.
    ~ Ignatius ~

    The will of God for your life is simply that you submit yourself to Him each day and say, “Father, Your will for today is mine.
    Your pleasure for today is mine. Your work for today is mine. I trust You to be God. You lead me today and I will follow.”
    ~ Kay Arthur ~

    My your day be ever so blessed
    as you abide there in His sweeet presence, 
    my dear friends!
    Hugs <><

  • Hand molded by the Master. Why do we so often complain about our containers? Hope you are having an awesome Sunday in Him! {{{{HUGS}}}}

  • :sunny:So nice to see you posting….may you and Lewis have a wonderful Lord’s Day and week upcoming… :sunny:

  • I sang along in my head as I read the words to Channels Only. Such a pretty song. I love the old hymns. That’s what I grew up on and they have had such an influence on my life.

    That Fenelon quote is one I have read before, but it is so good.

    Thanks for posting such wonderful things for me to think about on this Lord’s Day.

  • :) It is so wonderful to know he is with us always. But we need to surrender to him moment by moment in order do be in his will and obedience. I hope you have a blessed week!!:heartbeat:

  • :sunny:Good Morning Sweet Deborah! Hope you and Lewis have a Great and relaxing Sunday!……..How is Ian?? Jess and his Band had their first show the other night. They did very well. But I wasn’t going to tell him that. I just told him they were okay. He has this,” if I could make alot of money without really working idea or going to school.” So, needless to say we are really hoping he sees that he still needs to go to College. I told him that singing  and having a band is great! But don’t count on it making you lots of money. Everyone has to work and those kind of life styles don’t last forever. If he really used his voice and sang, it would be different. But he is in the Screamo type of music………I keep telling him he has a Very good voice but he won’t for long if he keeps that up!:eek:……….Anyways Hope you are  having beautiful weather , too! ((((((Hugs)))))))………In Christ’s Love……Monic:heartbeat::love::heartbeat::wave::fun: 

  • How neat! He not only fills us up, but think about it… He designs us… He designs the vessel too!

quote and verse

Faith expects from God what is beyond all expectation.
- Andrew Murray -

God often comes to us,
not in dramatic and the spectacular,
but in quiet, unexpected ways ...
In a still, small voice,
a gentle whisper,
God makes known His love.

In quietness and trust
is your strength.
Isaiah 30:15

Pleasure, possessions, power, and privilege are ultimately worthless in comparison to the indescribable
joy of knowing GOD!!

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct thy paths.
Proverbs 3:5,6

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go:
I will guide thee with mine eye.
Psalm 32:8
