Remove the hardened sin of pride within, Which hopes for fading earthly glory vain, And reinstate, my Lord, a heart of love, To serve beneath the men who love Thy Name. My foolish dreams now dashed to countless shards – O God, now mould my thoughts to selfless be, To humbly serve the ones whom […]

What Thou hast led my soul to learn and do, Tis’ all for Thee, O God, tis’ all for Thee. Tis’ not for me to flaunt to others near, But to be used to serve all lovingly. O, quench the latent pride that lingers deep, And fill this heart with more, more love for Thee. […]
God gives to us gifts to serve. Let this be a reminder to use these gifts to glorify His Name alone, and not to take pride in them. May God give the grace to help us. For all the gifts Thou givest me, let me not lift myself in pride, but humbly lay prostrate ‘fore Thee, […]
Thank God for the message during the Bible Study, in which we are exhorted to form our friendships in love and truth, for the truth’s sake. May we do all things according to love and truth, and no other way. Even a pen that should write, or a song that should be sung, should be […]
Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Romans 3:27 Whence cometh strength, my soul, to fight thy sins, except the gracious Lord calls thee to Him? Except thou hadst, by Christ, been made alive, O, thou art dead, and powerless to strive.

O LORD, my soul hath grieved to ponder what has come to pass: afflictions, troubles, much temptations, sorrow bringing tears. But such great grievances and pain within shall never last, when Thou dost show to me Thy wondrous lessons bright and clear! Much selfish pride Thou pullest down within my wand’ring soul, when Thou preventest me from […]
There is much to grow; but how can a man grow, when pride stirs still in his heart? LORD, fix my sight upon Thee, that I may ever be humble before Thee, knowing I have much to grow. All things are by Thee. All strength and wisdom is from Thee. O, grant me much humility. […]
Heed not the words of them, the vain, who doeth all to sow great pain. “Our words,” they cry, “Hold judgement great, and life or death, we make or break.” Yet listen close, while they play judge; hypocrisy looms close and large, when word and act doth contradict, and only seek to harm the weak. […]
If we so seek to do our will our strength shall surely fail. Temptations treach’rous shall assail; to nowhere we can bail. “Alone, alone!” we loudly wail, when we are whipped by gales. “Alone, alone!” our voice doth fail when sin around us whirls. Without the LORD to guide our wills the greatest man shall […]
