Although my memory's fading, I remember two things very clearly: I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.
~ John Newton
I am not what I ought to be, I am not what I want to be, I am not what I hope to be in another world; but still I am not what I once used to be, and by the grace of God I am what I am
The midsummer sun shines but dim, The fields strive in vain to look gay; But when I am happy in Him December's as pleasant as May.
If we seem to get no good by attempting to draw near to Him, we may be sure we will get none by keeping away from Him.
