I cannot but in wonder stand
O what great love in garden spent,
The choice he made for me,
That I in freedom, heaven sent,
Might live eternally.
I cannot hope for earthly fame,
Nor wisdom, wealth, and power.
But I will humbly preach his name,
And praise God every hour.
O, the Love of ChristO, the love of Christ, so rare,
My Savior, Lord, and Keeper,
O, how rich his precious care,
Ever growing deeper.
Could I e’er pay back the cost
Of His life paid for me.
How my Shepherd saved the lost.
And truly set me free.
O, the love of Christ, so true,
The Living Word begotten.
Promise of the Father sent,
Now all my sins forgotten.
May I ever look to thee,
Dayspring of night’s sorrow.
Overcoming Satan’s snares,
Until that bright tomorrow.
O, the love of Christ, so kind,
All earthly knowledge passing.
Filled with all God’s fullness, by
His sacrifice still lasting.
What can separate this love?
Not persecution, famine.
He conquered all that we might live.
O countless grace examine!
O, the love of Christ, now raised
From death, constrains all nations.
He died for all; and now we live,
God’s reconciliation.
The Father’s righteousness in him,
The gift beyond all measure.
Stride forth, ambassadors to win,
To do the Lord’s great pleasure.
Our “heart” is who we are. We want to give ALL that we are to love and serve our heavenly Father. That’s what Jesus showed us to do.
Men need women and women need men. That’s how God designed it from the beginning.
Unworthy and helpless I stood alone,
Crying for help from my God.
Life seemed unlivable, chilled to the bone,
Longing to lie ‘neath the sod.
Yet when I cried out, the very next day,
A brother appeared where I served.
Each heart cry was answered, in Jesus the way,
Such grace that I never deserved.
Then fellowship daily with like-minded saints,
Brought peace, comfort, hope, love, and joy.
I replaced thoughts of praise for those sad, past complaints,
So thankful to be “Father’s boy.”
Years later, my wife, the perfect help mete,
Fulfilled all my deep heart desire.
Each moment together so rich and so sweet,
Love blossomed into a true fire.
And now with grandchildren, our son, his dear wife,
Blessings pour forth and abound.
God’s kindness in Christ throughout all my life,
Is the greatest love I’ve ever found.
AI is nothing new. At the onset of mankind, people developed their own “artificial” intelligence.
Halloween is a time when people are “scared” of ghosts, goblins, witches, and evil spirits. As believers who have the authority of Jesus Christ’s name, we have NO FEAR. We have authority over all the forces of the enemy!
When we are born again we have eternal life through Christ. But what should WE DO with our lives?
God looks on our hearts. That’s where the essence of life begins and lives.
Grandchildren. They are a huge blessing–and a great responsibility.
