He Giveth More Grace


He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;
To added affliction He addeth His mercy;
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.

When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources,
Our Father's full giving is only begun.

Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,
Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;
The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.

His love has no limit; His grace has no measure.
His pow'r has no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!

Annie Johnson Flint

2Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

The Bible in 50 words



God made
Adam bit
Noah arked
Abraham split
Joseph ruled
Jacob fooled
Bush talked
Moses balked
Pharaoh plagued
People walked
Sea divided
Tablets guided
Promise landed
Saul freaked
David peeked
Prophets warned
Jesus born
God walked
Love talked
Anger crucified
Hope died
Love rose
Spirit flamed
Word spread
God remained.

A very present help




A very present help is Jesus
Beloved Savior, is he
Cast your burden on him
Delight in his unchanging love
Earth will change
Farthest stars may fall
God is our refuge
He raised his voice, the earth melts;
In Christ alone, I place my trust
Just as I am, come to his throne
Kindness and love, mercies flow;
Lo I am with you alway, promised thy love
Move O mountain, In the name of Jesus
Never to leave me, alone, he said
On the cross, he died for you
Proved his love, he stretched his hands
Quiet, O soul
Rest in Jesus;
See he comes, with myriads of angels
To lift you to heaven, his mansions of glory;
Under his arms, everlasting joy
Victory at last, death, where is thy sting?
We fall down before the throne
eXulting in Jesus, our savior and king;
Yahweh, you alone are God
Zion is redeemed

make 'em one



Majestic your throne, O king of kings

Glorious thy reign, mighty God;
Worthy to receive all honor and praise
We fall down at your gaze

Shine O lord, forever and ever
Thy glory fills the temple;
Unchanging love, flame of fire
Fill thy saints, make 'em one.

eternity


Lord
How great
you are
majestic
your reign;
Thanks to you
your mercies
are new, the dew
every morning

Lord
this world
is passing away;
our moments
fly away
and the lusts therein;
Give us a heart
that turns from sin
to you
our God, everlasting

Pour
thy spirit
that all can see
Christ Only
always
living in me
We wait in line;
to walk
thy eternity

The Lord is my shepherd!




This Jesus who came
his love, a flame
embraced the sinner
Laced him, a winner
onward, Christian soldier
ride the wings, of thy risen savior
drink deep, of the glory of the master;
Isn't the Lord, your shepherd?
see thyself, the apple of his eye
Meadow grass, full, of his bountiful supply;
yield your self, your life to his care
Surely love will keep you from every snare;
his tender mercies, are new every morning
eternal happiness, the streams of blessing
provision for you, in the presence, of thine enemies
his grace, sufficient, for all your worries
even when you walk, through the valley of death
rest in his grace, rejoice he is near, even, every breath
delight, O soul, in Jesus your king!

Jesus saves!




J
ehovah Jireh, my provider
Endless love, hear my prayer
Sun, the moon, the stars of heaven
Unveil thy glory by the seven
Savior of sinners, shepherds are singing
Send your peace, the bells are ringing
Arise and shine, the light is here
Victory is ours, your words appear
Empower your body, pour thy spirit
Surround your love, with no limit.

The higher calling



Jesus is God, forever and ever
His love is the same here and ever;
Come to him, agree and nod
forever and ever, Jesus is God

The fathers love, higher than the heavens
Get rid of, all your leavens;
His love painted on the rain bow
higher than the heavens, the fathers love

Follow him, his disciple be, deny self and take the cross
Purified you will be, separate gold and dross;
trials, your loyal friends, he molds you in the crucible
deny self and take the cross, follow him, his disciple be.

scripture references: Luke 9:23

The image of God





God
full of love
mighty creator;
mercy, tender compassion
Christ
Man
transformed, the image of God
glory resplendent;
come Jesus
fill

And Jesus said



A
nd Jesus said, I am life
Be gone Satan, you liar;
Come to me, you weak and weary
Determine humility;
Eternal God, friend of sinners
Full of grace, bright morning star
God of gods, Jehovah king
His banner over is love;
I love you lord, precious art thou
Jesus your name, sinners are saved
King of kings and Lord of Lords
Let me come closer to you
Make me yours and yours alone
Never to leave me alone;
O Holy spirit, divine
Pass me not, gentle savior
Quickly come, quiet my heart
Restore my soul, the rivers fall;
Sing to the Lord, a new song
The angels bow,we fall down
Until the trumpet shall sound
Victory is God's, his children win;
What a day of rejoicing!
eXalting Jesus the King;
Young and old, every knee shall bow
Zion will be redeemed.

A poem & a testimony


Love is patient, Love is kind,
In Jesus Christ, find Love divine,
A greater Love you will not find.

With all your heart, let True love shine.
By trusting in God’s only Son!
In Jesus Christ, find Love divine.

God’s promise cannot be undone,
Lord Jesus Christ, God’s glory now.
Trust in the one and only Son!


For most of my life, I didn’t know anything about a relationship with a personal and merciful God. One of the greatest things I struggled with was pride - in the form of self-sufficiency, self-reliance, and trusting only in me, myself and I! I also carried around shame and guilt from my childhood which I kept completely to myself. I focused all of my energy on my education and career. In all honesty, my priorities had always been 1) career, 2) self, 3) children, 4) my marriage.

Due to emotional stress, I began to drink frequently. Each evening after a 10 hour day at work, I would have glass after glass of wine. It did not interfere with my work, however; my inner thoughts were in a tailspin. I was struggling inside with debilitating and defeating thoughts of intense worry, fear of abandonment, fear of the loss of a loved one, lustful thoughts and coveting (other people’s things, their appearance, their relationships). What appeared fine on the outside was really just a mask for
the b
ig hole in my heart.
More here.

~*~*~*~*~~*****Happy Mothers day!***~*~*~*~*~*





You are a Mom
Tender, as the moon
That watches by night

You were there;
To hear
The very first syllable
The sound of our mouth

You were there
Hardworking, the growing years of life;
Affectionate, guiding and caring
As the shepherds, his sheep by night

Thank you;
For your sacrifice, your service;
For the countless hours spent
The lonely paths walked
Just because you loved and cared

May the good Lord bless you
Necklace of love embrace you;
Know your husband and children
Are blessed, fruit of thy labor

Let
Your years be full of Joy;
In the knowledge of our Savior
One lord, the Christ

His Blessing on you
To keep you, Prosper you;
The Rivers flow;
Understanding, joy and peace

with your peace

Draw me to you
Help me follow you
