The world makes all kinds of promises about love, acceptance, and self-worth, but they never last. Only Jesus can fill our empty souls for eternity.
From John 4:13-14: “Jesus said to her, ‘Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life.'”

I am not moved by what I see. I am moved only by what I believe.
From John 11:25-27: “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?’ She said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one coming into the world.'”
From Psalm 62:1-2: “For God alone my soul waits in silence; from Him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall never be shaken.”
World’s foundations often shake
Failure crashes upon lives
Fragile planet in distress
How will we ever survive?
Earthly alliances break
Financial systems crater
Globe overwhelmed in turmoil
Where is our navigator?
Life’s storms never-ending
Future stands on wobbly ground
Weakest foundations crumbling
Who can help us to rebound?
Sharing His love, comes Jesus

Gathering in God’s fortress
Accepting Christ, let’s embrace
Rising from dark, empty tomb
Sitting at Father’s right hand
Saving us, Christ carries us
Life’s firm foundation shall stand
From Psalm 62:11-12: “Once God has spoken; twice have I heard this: that power belongs to God, and steadfast love belongs to you, O Lord. For you repay to all according to their work.”

Life’s red stain

An iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.
I guess first and foremast I’d like to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
From John 14:6-7: “Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you know me, you will know my Father also. From now on you do know Him and have seen Him.”

Path to truth and life
Darkness on the run
From John 10:29-30: “What my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it out of the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one.”
When Jesus Christ is the source of our joy, no words can describe it.
From Philippians 4:4-7: “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
From Exodus 20:1-3: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; you shall have no other gods before Me.”

Forgiving call from above
From Psalm 100:1-2: “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come into His presence with singing.”
We have to keep letting go, and slowly and surely the great full life of God will invade us in every part, and men will take knowledge of us that we have been with Jesus.
From Romans 6:9-11: “We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over Him. The death He died, He died to sin, once for all; but the life He lives, He lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.”
