Road to Purity
For you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I sing for joy. —Psalm 63:7 NRSV
At the base of Cristo, Christ the Redeemer, in Rio de Janeiro, is a small, intimate chapel where pilgrims can spend time with the Lord in a quiet space. Many a person passes by without entering in, but those who take the time are not disappointed.
PRAYER
Lord, we make You our hiding place. Hold us deep within Your heart
QUOTE
There is a place of quite rest, near to the heart of God: a place where sin cannot molest, near to the heart of God.
//Cleland Boyd McAfee (1866-1944)
THOUGHT
What is it that causes me to pass by, thus forfeiting a chance for intimacy with Him?
