Lesson 14 in the School of Prayer

Lesson #14 in the School of Prayer. "We sometimes commit ourselves to work for Christ out of zeal for His cause or for our own spiritual health, without giving ourselves in personal self-sacrificing love for those whose souls we seek. No wonder our faith is powerless and without victory! View each wretched one, however unloveable he is, in the light of the tender love of Jesus the Shepherd searching for the lost. Look for Jesus Christ in him and take him into a heart that really loves, for Jesus' sake. This is the secret of believing prayer and successful effort. Jesus speaks of love as the root of forgiveness. It is also the root of believing prayer... Whoever gives himself to let the love of God dwell in him, whoever in daily life loves as God loves, will have the power to believe in the love that hears his every prayer..." -With Christ in the School of Prayer, Andrew Murray

Joel, Andrew Wilson, Jacob Huff and I had a great trip to Boylston, NY last week. We had lots of fun - Rudd Family Reunion; silent auction; church softball game; fishing in various creeks, ponds, Redfield Reservoir, Erie Canal; baling hay for David Rudd – Maple syrup, fresh milk, fresh eggs for reward!; bonfire with hot dogs and marshmallows; fireworks; church dinner; woodchuck hunt; spending time with cousins; Chuck & Sue’s treat of dinner and the biggest “kid” ice cream cone on the face of the earth; tractor and motorcycle rides; visiting the Levacks and seeing their menagerie; driving on one lane country roads with grass growing in the middle and tree branches meeting over the top; playing with Kipie – Grandpa Rudd’s cockatiel; freedom to roam the woods and fields….. all in all a wonderful trip!
