You do not need a great faith, but faith in a great God.
From Isaiah 41:10: “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God; I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will uphold you with My victorious right hand.”
Hudson Taylor (1832-1905) was a British-born Christian missionary. He spent 54 years in China.
Sunrise brightens this day
Framing with precious light
Adventure comes this way
Guiding morning’s delights
Clearest blue sky above
Releasing gentle voice
Blessed with Creator’s love
Calling self to rejoice
Stillness of ocean’s breeze
Finding life’s missing piece
Each hour dissolves unease
Unlocking time’s new lease
Peaceful waters spread out
Prevailing winds called forth
Navigation’s new route
Setting compass true north

You cannot write well or much (and I venture the opinion that you cannot write well unless you write much) unless you form a habit.
Imagination grows by exercise, and contrary to common belief, is more powerful in the mature than in the young.
W. (William) Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) was a French-born English writer. His writings published quite an impressive collection of short stories, novels, and plays.
From John 15:10-11: “If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. I have said these things to you so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.”
Rejoicing with Father
Peace quiets every storm
Joy’s spirit transforms heart
Nurturing, always warm
Learning from Father’s Word
Faith nourished, always trust
Joy sails on eagle’s wings
Bringing light, always just
Receiving Father’s grace
Precious gift of each day
Joy cascades from His love
Rising sun, never gray
Walking in Father’s steps
Hope breathes with every stride
Joy’s anticipation
Filling outlook with pride
Kneeling at Father’s feet
Gratitude sweeps ashore
Joy flowing with gladness
Entering Heaven’s door
From the words of American evangelist, Bill Bright: “The joy of God is experienced as I love, trust, and obey God.”

Joy is the great note all throughout the Bible.
Joy is the serious business of heaven.
From Psalm 118:24: “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
Dawn’s inspiration
Creator’s masterful truth—
Every unique breath
Beloved contrast
Landscape’s eternal bloodstream—
Ancient, yet unborn
Boundless spirit thrives
Tiniest ember of life—
Tomorrow wakens
