• "If"

  I don't have many 'treasures' that mean a lot to me.. materially speaking EXCEPT... my beloved book collection! They are like faithful friends who have blessed my life nearly as much as a godly brother or sister in the Lord.
  
  Last week I was in dire need of some counsel regarding a loved one. I knew that my heart was not saturated in God's love. As I went to bed that evening I grabbed one of my favorite books, "If". I had found good solid counsel in this book many times before.  I had only read a few pages when I realized that the Holy Spirit had used the principles on those few pages to change my attitude. I clutched the beloved book to my chest and breathed a prayer.. thank you, Lord!  He had set me on the right path again!
  
  Here is one of my favorite sayings from "If" by Amy Carmichael.
  
  IF   I can easily discuss the shortcomings and the sins of any;

  if  I can speak in a casual way even of a child's misdoings,
  

  then I know nothing of Calvary love.
