July The Twenty-First

O THOU Almighty Helper and ever-present God, we bring to Thee all our needs. O Thou Author of all good, from whom cometh every good and perfect gift, may Thy mercies be our daily song, and may the light of Thy countenance in this world of power and beauty move our hearts to great thankfulness and a sweet trust. Day by day Thou dost appoint our portion, especially revealing Thy glory in the dear Son of Thy love, and calling us into His Kingdom of service and blessedness. May this be our love of Thee in Him, that we love one another and keep all His commandments - Amen.

-- RUFUS ELLIS

  1. And he gave us only two as I recall... I figure if we keep those two, we will keep the other Ten.

    Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, mind and strength and love thy neighbor as thyself.
    Why are these so hard for so many of us?
    A wonderful post.
