You cannot pray the Lord’s Prayer and even once say “I”.
You cannot pray the Lord’s Prayer and even once say “MY”.
Nor can you pray the Lord’s Prayer and not pray for another;
for to ask for “our daily bread”, you include sister and brother.
All God’s children are included in each and every plea;
from the beginning to the end of it, it does not once say “ME”.
When you are good to others, you are best to yourself.
If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.
When you’re tempted to lose patience with someone, think of how much God has been patient with you all the time.
Those who matter to us do not judge us….those who judge us do not matter.
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.
