Gems from Mother's Jounal

Hag. 1:14-So the Lord stirred up the spirit of----and the spirit of----, and the spirit of----, and they came out and worked on the house of the Lord of Hosts, their God.

Mother-"We cannot stir up the spirit of others to do the work that needs to be done but He can. That takes all our striving away and we can rest in Him."
--------
Mother-"It seems as if only those who have been killed because of loyalty to Jesus will reign with Him for 1000 years."- Rev.20:4----'who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and the word of God----they lived and reigned with Christ for 1000 years. v.5 But the rest of the dead did not live again until the 1000 years were finished.' "I had always thought that would be such a wonderful time---that I could do the things I've never been able to do now."
--------Me-'Well then, off with my head!'

1John 4:11---'if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.' "If God, who is so holy and pure can love the one who is just the opposite, we have no basis or grounds not to love another, for the contrast or gap between us is nothing in comparison."(Mother)

Mother-"This from Andrew Murray-"Day by Day" Devotional Book- "Our eating and drinking, our sleeping, our clothing, our labor and relaxation, influence our spiritual life." 'I think I usually thought of the other way around-our spiritual affecting our physical. The more I think about it-not really. I know how much the physical affects the spiritual.'(M)
------

Psalms 8:5-"For you have made him a little lower than the angels, and you have crowned him with glory and honor." 'If we believed this, if we could help our children believe this, would we destroy ourselves with bad choices?'(M)
