My Words to Live By

What is success? To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; That is to have succeeded. - Ralph Waldo Emerson


Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me

"Rock of Ages, cleft for me. Let me hide myself in Thee."

Do you know what the word "cleft" actually means? It means a space or opening, a split, a division, a hollow area. The writer of this song is asking God to open His arms and wrap them around him, to keep him safe and secure.

What place is safer than inside the Rock?

Where is better to hide than within God's presence?

Just a quick thought for today. When you feel unsecure for whatever reason, just go to the Rock.
