We foolish mortals sometimes live through years not realizing how short life is, and that TODAY is your life.
Edith SchaefferAll art involves conscious discipline. If one is going to paint, do sculpture, design a building or write a book, it will involve discipline in time and energy โ or there would never be any production at all to be seen, felt or enjoyed by ourselves or others. To develop โHidden Artโ will also, of course, take time and energy โ and the balance of the use of time is a constant individual problem for all of us: what to do, and what to leave undone. One is always having to neglect one thing in order to give precedence to something else. The question is one of priorities
Edith SchaefferWhat are your choices? Whom are your choices for? Not just for yourself. Chose now whom you will serve, and that choice is going to affect the next generation, and the next generation, and the next. Choice never affects just one person alone. It goes on and on and the effect goes out into geography and history. You are part of history and your choices become part of history.
Edith SchaefferOur personal afflictions involve the living God; the only way in which Satan can persecute or afflict God is through attacking the people of God. The only way we can have personal victory in the midst of these flying arrows raining down on us is to call upon the Lord for help. It is His strength, supplied to us in our weakness, that makes victory after victory possible.
