Look What Has Come!


In his 1942 devotional Abundant Living, E. Stanley Jones, Methodist doctor and missionary to India, writes:




The early Christians did not say in dismay: "Look what the world has come to," but in delight, "Look what has come to the world."

They saw not merely the ruin, but the Resource for the reconstruction of that ruin.

They saw not merely that sin did abound, but that grace did much more abound.


On that assurance the pivot of history swung from blank despair, loss of moral nerve, and fatalism, to faith and confidence that at last sin had met its match.

    I enjoy your thoughts and expression of your daily life. Your "therapy" is an inspiration to all that read your words.

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
