Worry, whatever its source, weakens, takes away courage, and shortens life.

From Colossians 3:2: “Set your minds on the things that are above, not on the things that are on earth.”

Each Wayward Branch

From Hebrews 3:5-6: “Now Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things that would be spoken later. Christ, however, was faithful over God’s house as a son, and we are His house if we hold firm the boldness and the pride inspired by hope.”

Witness His steadfast love
Christ soars beyond earth’s light
Grace cascades from above
Shared blessings always bright

Refuge found full of peace
Christ endures forever
Mercy must always seek
Faith’s trusted endeavors

Surrounded by life’s thorns
Christ bears sin’s heavy weight
Perfect lamb never shorn
Heavenly path made straight

Encouragement descends
Christ wrapped in Father’s Word
Forged through fire, love defends
Truth shall always be heard

Harmony’s welcome tune
Christ walks ahead of man
Each wayward branch, He prunes
Strengthened, just as God plans

From Psalm 118:28-29: “You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God; I will extol you. O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His steadfast love endures forever.”
