Mary, Lazarus' Sister

The testimony of the life of Mary, sister to Lazarus

The one--yes, the one--needed thing is to sit at the feet of Jesus. All spiritual growth and maturity springs from the depth of your relationship with Him.
All that happens in our lives--yes, all that happens--flows from His love for us and His desire to use us to glorify Him--to, through our lives, make His presence and power known to all who know us.
He weeps with those who weep.
We sorrow--that's not a sin or a lack of faith--because our sorrow has a sure hope. We know the answer to the question: "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?" No one. No power. No circumstances. No amount of time or space. Nothing. "In a love that cannot cease; I am His, and He is mine."
Busyness is not a sign of spirituality or of devotion to Him.
Those who are committed to learning at His feet will find their most vocal critics to be other believers dedicated to busyness.
In your deepest sorrows fall at His feet in submission to His will.
Thank yous should be expressed in humble, sacrificial, acts of worship.
"Give of your best to the Master." Extravagantly.
When we pray, He hears us.
All those that we have temporarily lost are in the loving care of The Resurrection and the Life.
