Jesus Brings World Together

A little girl wanted to know what the United States looked like. Her Dad tore a map of the USA from a magazine and then cut it into small pieces. He told her to go to her room to see if she could put it together. After some minutes she returned and handed the map correctly fitted and taped together. The Dad was surprised and asked how she had finished so quickly. She said, "On the other side was a picture of Jesus and when I put him back then our country just came together"

Greatness Illustrations

Famous Quotes, Graphic Illustrations, Videos, Scriptures, and a Deeper Look at Greatness

Only God Is Great

In 1715 King Louis XIV of France died after a reign of 72 years. He had called himself “the Great,” and was the monarch who made the famous statement, “I am the state!” His court was the most magnificent in Europe, and his funeral was equally spectacular. As his body lay in state in a golden coffin, orders were given that the cathedral should be very dimly lit with only a special candle set above his coffin, to dramatize his greatness. At the memorial, thousands waited in hushed silence. Then Bishop Massilon began to speak; slowly reaching down, he snuffed out the candle and said, “Only God is great.”

Harmony Illustrations

Illustrations about Harmony

Famous Quotes, Graphic Illustrations, Videos, Scriptures, and a Deeper Look at Harmony

"An obedient will and a harmonious will are very different. Obedience is related to actions, whereas harmony is related to character. The obedient will of a servant is seen in carrying out every order of his master.

"But the harmonious will is shown in the son who knows the father’s heart and whose will is one with the father’s. The harmonious will not only fulfills his duty but also fulfills it with delight.

"An obedient will puts a stop to one’s own activity, yes, but a harmonious will is in addition one heart with God."

SPEAK GENTLY

SPEAK GENTLY






Speak gently. It is better by far
to rule by love than fear.
Speak gently. Let no harsh word mar
the good you may do here.


Speak gently to the young, for they
will have enough to bear;
pass through this life as best they may,
'tis full of anxious care.


Speak gently to the aged one
Grieve not the care-worn heart,
whose sand of life are nearly run,
let such in peace depart.


Speak gently, kindly to the poor,
let no harsh tone be heard.
They have enough they must endure
without an unkind word.


Speak gently...'tis a little thing
dropped in the heart's deep well;
The good, the joy that it may bring
eternity shall tell.
