The Cinderella of the church of today is the prayer meeting. This handmaid of the Lord is unloved and unwooed because she is not dripping with the pearls of intellectualism, nor glamorous with the silks of philosophy; neither is she enchanting with the tiara of psychology. She wears the homespuns of sincerity and humility and so is not afraid to kneel!
(Leonard Ravenhill, Why Revival Tarries)
(Leonard Ravenhill, Why Revival Tarries)
Leonard Ravenhill was a powerful preacher and author of many stirring books, including the classic, Why Revival Tarries.He was one of England’s outstanding evangelists.
He also was a man most intimate with his God. His manner of writing is biting at times, and frequently harsh. But it never was an arbitrary harshness. The harshness was from the raw conviction that the words convey. His writings were clearly from the throne.
Brother Len went to be with the Lord on Thanksgiving Day weekend, 1994.
The quote in this journal is one that has been locked into my memory banks since I was 16 years old. He ignited the flame of passion in my heart with words like, “We need more agonizers than we need organizers.”
Leonard impacted me, with his words, more than anyone I know. May his words strike a flame in your heart!

I am that Cinderella when I feel unloved unwanted and left behind .I'm not perfect ,nor am i beautiful .I know in people's eyes I'm to poor or not enough money to share .I hurt daily I have no friends nor family that loves me .I was afraid to worship so I don't get laugh at nor dance with joy because I was broken .but God Himself said what you going through I went through and I love you know matter what .let me Judge you stop judging yourself .I learned I have more then what I thought .I have life and a home in heaven where my King waits for me .And I will be loved and held in His arms .tears full every night but joy comes in the morning .I don't know what it feels like to have a friend but I sure know I have a great Father that loves me ..
