True wisdom

November 28, 2010 by Christina

"Oak Tree on a September Morning" by Karen Mathison Schmidt

“Herein is wisdom;

when I was undone, with no will to return to him,

and no intellect to devise recovery,

he came, God-incarnate, to save me

to the uttermost,

as man to die my death,

to shed satisfying blood on my behalf,

to work out a perfect righteousness.”

– The Valley of Vision, The Gift of Gifts, pages 28-29

    Beautiful can’t describe this truth! Thank you for posting this!

      It is beautiful, isn’t it?

      There is more power and wisdom in the doctrine of Christ crucified than the best and the brightest that the world has to offer!

      Thank you so much for visiting Petra! You are precious to me!

      Thank you Trisha! The cross IS encouragement, isn’t it? In fact, it is our ONLY hope! Much love to you my dear friend! Pray you are having a beautiful day!

      Me too, Persis! There is a firewall that blocks “blogspot” addresses (and other various sites) but I am just as thankful as you, if not more, at being able to connect with you guys — even if it will be qucik, the blessing is mine!!! Pray you are having a beautiful day!

    Dear friend,

    Great quote! I just love these prayers-
    Much love and enjoy your day with Persis; take a picture of you and post it here! 🙂

    Have a most wonderful week.

      I will Becky! That is, if Persis lets me! : ) I can’t comment on anyone who has a “blogspot” address here at work due to a firewall. Otherwise I would have commented on Persis’s post already! I so wish we could all find the time and place to all meet together one day. That would be wonderful, wouldn’t it?

    “to die my death” It’s always hard to wrap my mind around this. Thank you for posting this.
    Love the painting too.
    And please give Persis a hug from me – and I agree with Becky, please post a pic of you both! 🙂
    Much love!

      We will give each other hugs on behalf of all of us! Does that sound kooky??? Yes, yes, yes….I will post a pic, provided of course, Persis is in agreement. And one day, Lord willing, we will all find ourselves in the same city, in the same place, at the same time! That would be just wonderful, wouldn’t it?

      Love to you Diane! xoxoxo

    Hi Christina–I somehow missed you these 30 days-sorry! You and Persis have a good time!

      Oh Victoria,

      I did not actually participate in Rebecca’s 30 Days of Thanksgiving but was blessed and humbled by many of the posts that I was fortunate enough to read.

      The Caffeinated Calvinists Network had previously linked many of us together and so I am thankful to have gleaned from all the beautiful expressions of Thanksgiving that many of you posted!

      Blessings to you my dear sister!

      Thank you so much for visiting
