Gems for the Week
June 10 - 11
"Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father."
(Galatians 1:3,4)
- All that can be done in fellowship with Christ can surely be done in fellowship with those who are walking with Him.
- What do we want, save an enlarged capacity to enjoy the fullness and blessedness of our portion in a crucified, risen, and glorified Saviour? We may well say, "We have all and abound." (Selected)

"He that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." (John 3:21)
Each new day will give us a chance to do truth, and to come to the light from which nothing is hid. If there be anything about which it cannot be said that it was wrought in God (that is, in the power of His Spirit; for His glory, not for our own), then if we love Him we shall want this to be made manifest, so that we may have done with it, and all may be pure in His sight. "The world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." (1 John 2:17) (Amy Carmichael - Edges of His Ways)
