Selling your donkey
Rumi
Imagine a man selling his donkey to be with Jesus.
Now imagine him selling Jesus to get a ride on a donkey.
This does happen.
Pray: God, Give Me to Abide in Thee
Dag Hammarskjold
God,
Give me a pure heart
that I may see Thee,
a humble heart
that I may hear Thee,
a heart of love
that I may serve Thee,
a heart of faith
that I may abide in Thee.
