Take the word “coincidental” out of your vocabulary, along with “luck.” You can trash them both! You don’t need them anymore. Nothing is coincidental! “Luck” has no place in a Christian’s vocabulary.
From Joel 2:26: “You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you.”
From Romans 3:23-25: “Since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God; they are now justified by His grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a sacrifice of atonement by His blood, effective through faith.”

His Resurrection awakens a new pathway
Christ’s blood, painting it blazing white
Our Father remolds life, from a new clay
Pharisees claiming to be servants of God
Viewing our Lord as not worthy, a sinner
Walking with sinners makes Him a fraud
Son of Man, unblemished Lamb of God
No one but Jesus, can walk to the Cross
Humbled Christians kneel, totally flawed
Jesus’ blood ransomed for sinners, you and me
This executioner’s tool, a cruel criminal’s Cross
Darkest sins, all nailed to this old, rugged tree
Watching from a short distance, the Cross stands
God pours out His love through His faithful Son
Exchanging darkness for light, from His hands
Walking faithfully with Christ, never alone
Keeping the Cross, always front and center
Our Savior’s suffering, faith’s cornerstone
On an Easter morn, Christ defeats death
Leaving a darkened tomb empty, Alleluia!
Salvation and peace, with every breath
Moving closer to the Cross, forgiveness rings
Accepting Christ as Lord, filled with His mercy
Making a new covenant with Jesus, hearts sing

From John 15:10-11: “If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in His love. I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.”

If not washed in Christ’s blood and clothed in His righteousness, no heaven for you, no heaven for me.
From John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.”

The process of living seems to consist in coming to realise truths so ancient and simple that, if stated, they sound like barren platitudes. They cannot sound otherwise to those who have not had the relevant experience.
From Proverbs 13:20: “Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools suffers harm.”

The Divine wisdom has given us prayer, not as a means whereby to obtain the good things of earth, but as a means whereby we learn to do without them; not as a means whereby we escape evil, but as a means whereby we become strong to meet it.
Pray till prayer makes you forget your own wish, and leave it or merge it in God’s will.
These quotes come from Frederick W. Robertson, English preacher and Christian author.
From John 10:9-10: “I am the gate. Whoever enters by Me will be saved, and will come in and go out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy, I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”

Triumphantly
Jesus enters a joyous city
Jerusalem sings
Praising His name . . . Hosanna!
Witnessing
Emotional betrayal
Denying Christ
Then a rooster crows
Watching
Stunning procession fills the streets
Mocking with scorn
Would-be king, carrying our Cross
Hopes
Dashed by cruel Roman justice
Absent of sin
Son of Man, never to walk free
Numbness
With tears, seeing and hearing
Experiencing anguish
Horror at a blood-stained Cross

Silence
Covering the land, Father weeps
Messiah suffers
Many rejecting our Holy God
Hearing
Good News on Easter morning
Our Savior
Defeating sin and death
Empty
Dark tomb proclaims God’s plan
Jesus Christ
Risen! Reigning forevermore
Connecting
Dots between manger and Cross
Our Father
Love for us never wanes
Lingering
In the shadow of a criminal’s cross
Singing Alleluia!
To lasting, true meaning of the Cross
Glory
Residing forever in the Cross
Good Shepherd
Caring for His precious flock

From Ephesians 2:8-10: “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is a gift of God–not the result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are what He has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand to be our way of life.”

From the words of Moses
Don’t fear, be unafraid
Our Lord will fight for us
Standing firm, comes His aid
Protecting evermore
God stands everlasting
Delivers from bondage
His love, full and lasting
Sending His Son to earth
Jesus’ footprints cry out
Step in line, follow me
His peace reigns, without doubt
Crying out to our Lord
Consumed by life’s furnace
Covered by eagles’ wings
Follow Him with sureness
Darkened tomb found empty
Jesus overcoming death
Knowing God’s in control
Stay faithful, with each breath
Father always with us
Never forsaking us
His hope, comforting us
Walking ahead of us

From Exodus 14:13-14: “But Moses said to the people, ‘Do not be afraid, stand firm, and see the deliverance that the Lord will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to keep still.'”

When a man is born again, he knows that it is because he has received something as a gift from Almighty God and not because of his own decision.
From Acts 26:17-18: [Jesus is speaking to Saul] “I will rescue you from your people and from the Gentiles–to whom I am sending you to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.”

To say that I am made in the image of God is to say that love is the reason for my existence, for God is love.
From 1 John 4:15-16: “God abides in those who confess that Jesus is the Son of God, and they abide in God. So we have known and believe the love that God has for us.”
