The Journey of Life...
"It may not be to you... that the call is given to leave your country to carry the message of salvation to the heathen; for you the pillar of cloud and fire may rest over some Elam; God may bid you watch over an aged parent, make a home happy, bring up children for Him. Your work may be in ... a parish, perhaps in a crowded city, perhaps in a peaceful village. But is your eye fixed on that pillar, the emblem of the will of your Heavenly King? Is the calm peaceful resolution of your heart, 'Wherever Thou wilt, however Thou wilt, O my Lord! but guide me and I will follow!' Then blessed is your path, whether in the wilderness of green pastures, whether in roaring billows or beside the still waters! ...Fighting against the power of Satan both within and without, you may be as truly serving the Lord, as truly pressing forward to the prize, as if planting the banner of the Cross" ~ A.L.O.E
