Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. 1 John 3:18
“He who cannot find time to consult his Bible will one day find he has time to be sick. He who has no time to pray must find time to die. He who can find no time to reflect is most likely to find time to sin. He who cannot find time for repentance will find an eternity in which repentance will be of no avail. He who cannot find time to work for others may find an eternity in which to suffer for himself.”
Hannah More (1745-1833) English writer known for her generous giving in Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers, compiled by Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert (New York: Wilbur B. Ketcham, 1895) 583.
Don’t stop fasting, praying, and giving to the poor in life after Lent. Hannah More rightly notes that we must “find time” for what is important. Find time to read God’s Word, to pray, to reflect, to repent, and to work for others.
