Thoughts for the week:

March 29  HUNGER FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS

Perhaps failure to achieve righteousness is the failure of half-heartedness; you long but not too deeply. Your hunger and thirst do not rise from a sense of total need. Have a mental stocktaking or a review of your life. It could not happen that a wholehearted search for truth and righteousness, if persevered in, should not be crowned with success. God is not mocked, nor does He mock His children.

Fox, Emmet. Around the Year with Emmet Fox . Harper One. Kindle Edition. (Excerpt)

   They [wise ones] do not sorrow over the past,
   Nor do they hanker for the future.
   They maintain themselves with what is present
   Hence their complexion is so serene.
   Through hankering for the future,
   Through sorrowing over the past,
   Fools dry up and wither away
   Like a green reed cut down.
