..Love is superior to all extraordinary gifts. It is better than the gift of tongues; than the gifts of prophecy and knowledge; and then the gift of miracles. All outward works of charity without it are worthless. Love has this superiority, first, because of its inherent excellence; and secondly, because of its perpetuity. - Charles Hodge
..Have patience. There is no time that is not God’s time. - Criswell Freeman
..Joy is love exalted; peace is love in repose; long-suffering is love enduring; gentleness is love in society; goodness is love in action; faith is love on the battlefield; meekness is love in school; and temperance is love in training. - D. L. Moody
..God shields us from most of the things we fear, but when He chooses not to shield us, He unfailingly allots grace in the measure needed. - Elisabeth Elliot
..Our battles are first won or lost in the secret places of our will in God’s presence, never in full view of the world. - Oswald Chambers
..Go measure the heavens with your span; go weigh the mountains in the scales; go take the ocean’s water and calculate each drop; go count the sand upon the sea’s wide shore; and when you have accomplished all of this, then you can tell how much He loves you!
He has loved you long! He has loved you well! He will love you forever! - C. H. Spurgeon
..Spend your time in nothing you know must be repented of; in nothing on which you might not pray the blessing of God; in nothing which you could not review with a quiet conscience on your dying bed; in nothing which you might not safely and properly be found doing if death should surprise you in the act. - J. Sidlow Baxter
.. Joy is the direct result of having God’s perspective on our daily lives and the effect of loving our Lord enough to obey His commands and trust His promises. - Bill Bright
Luke 2:28-32
Simeon took him [Jesus] in his arms and praised God, saying: "Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, you now dismiss your servant in peace. For my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared in the sight of all people, a light for revelation to the Gentiles and for glory to your people Israel."
Thoughts on This Verse....
God's gift to Simeon was truly precious and touching. Yet Simeon is just the embodiment of all of every nation, race, and culture who are seeking God's salvation. God's salvation, as Luke loves to remind us again and again, is for all people! What's more, God's light has dawned. Let's greet that dawn and share it with others.
