Love open Doors

"Love never fails" (1 Corinthians 13: 8, niv).




According to an article in Today in the Word, soon after Queen Victoria's marriage to Prince Albert, the couple had a quarrel, whereupon Prince Albert locked himself in his private apartment. Queen Victoria knocked furiously on his door.



"Who's there?" asked Albert.



"The Queen of England, and she demands to be admitted."

There was no response and the door remained locked. The queen knocked furiously again.



"Who's there?" asked Albert again. The queen's response was the same … as was Albert's. After more furious knocking and no response came a quiet pause and then a gentle tap.



"Who's there?" asked Albert once more.



"Your wife, Albert," the queen replied. Immediately the door was opened.



As the writer of this article pointed out, "Love opens doors."

Well Done

Theodore Roosevelt said, "It's not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of good deeds could have done better.




The credit belongs to the man:



"Who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again... "



"Who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause... "



"Who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement... "



"And who, at worst, if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."



Every one of us has been given at least one talent; many have been given several. Regardless of whether we have one or many, what's important is to use well what God has given and entrusted to us and therewith give life our best
