The heavens are not filled with hostility. The sky does not express a frown. When I look up I do not contemplate a face of brass, but the face of infinite good will. Yet when I was a child, many a picture has made me think of God as suspicious, inhumanly watchful, always looking round the corner to catch me at the fall. That "eye," placed in the sky of many a picture, and placed there to represent God, filled my heart with chilling fear. . . . Heaven overflows with good will toward us! Our God not only wishes good, he wills it!
John Henry Jowett...Prayer is not always petition, sometimes it is just communion. It is the exquisite ministry of friendship.
John Henry JowettMay my life be like a great hospitable tree, and may weary wanderers find in me a rest.
John Henry JowettAll vital praying makes a drain on a man's vitality. True intercession is a sacrifice, a bleeding sacrifice.
