There is an Old Testament scripture that has often given me comfort.
Jeremiah 17:14:
Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be HEALED; save me, and I shall be SAVED: for thou art my praise.
My Savior unto Thee
[Sung to the tune of “My Country ‘tis of Thee”]
My Savior unto thee,
Give I my heart to free,
To thee I cling.
Lord who for me has died,
Pierced ‘twas his wounded side.
Ever in him abide.
Of thee I sing.
Believers Go Singing Along
[Sung to the tune of “The Caissons Go Rolling Along”]
With our thoughts, up above,
Walking in our Father’s love,
And believers, go singing along.
In and out, up and down,
Speaking truth, all over town,
And believers, go singing along.
Let’s Open Our Hearts to the Father
Let’s open our hearts to the Father,
Let’s sing with a fervor and love,
Let’s put aside each fear and bother,
Let’s bask in His grace from above.
I am able to live and write and think because God gave me a body and a mind. My parents had a lot to do with me being here. It is THROUGH their relationship with each other that I was conceived and born. When I got born AGAIN years later, it was THROUGH all that Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior did for me. Let’s look at what we have THROUGH CHRIST in some of the New Testament uses of this idea.
God’s joy and gladness is for us today.
Happy Father’s Day! Let’s see how good our Father is now and throughout eternity.
Don’t cry! God has given you joy of heart.
I can remember running nearly 20 full marathons. Each had its own challenges and joys. And each had wonderful rewards waiting for me at the end. Sherry would be there, and I knew she would take me home to a big dinner, a hot bath, and maybe even a foot rub! That hope gave me the endurance to finish each race strong. What does the Bible say about future rewards for the good, loving deeds that we do in this life? A great deal!
Being FREE in Christ, we can love ANYONE with God’s love.
