Sometimes I am a thermometer - with all the needs around me, I go down. But we must be thermostats, not thermometers. A thermostat feels coldness and immediately restores the missing heat by bringing the room in contact with the heater. That is what we must do.
Said the Robin to the Sparrow: "I should really like to know why these anxious human beings rush about and worry so." Said the Sparrow to the Robin, "Friend, I think that it must be, that they have no heavenly Father, such as cares for you and me." - Elizabeth Cheney
...Your heavenly Father knoweth that you have need of all these things. Matthew 6:32 KJV
Father, keep us so close to Your heart that although we are alert to the needs around us, we will not be depressed by what we see, for You make us able to act and help.
Corrie ten Boom
