Steadfast in His love

Sins forgiven

Living for Christ is the most exciting adventure in the world.

From Titus 3:4-5:  “But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to His mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.”

Our moods may shift, but god’s doesn’t.  Our minds may change, but God doesn’t.  Our devotion may falter, by God’s never does.

From Psalm 23:6:  “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.”

Max Lucado (born 1955) is an American pastor and Christian author.

Our culture says, “Don’t let anyone push you around,” but Jesus teaches that it is the merciful, the weak, and the peacemakers who are successful in God’s Kingdom.

From Matthew 5:5-9:  “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.  Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.  Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.  Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.  Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”

Charles Stanley (1932-2023) was an American pastor and Christian writer.  He was dedicated to leading a teaching ministry.

Life’s stumbling footsteps

Sullen heart weighed down

Darkness at doorstep

Day’s final breakdown

 

Burdens never light

Load much too heavy

Collapsing at night

Floodwaters’ levee

 

Spirit’s tiresome tone

Christ walks alongside

Merciful seeds sown

Faith breathing, clear-eyed

 

Shelter’s welcome place

Prayer’s trusted reach

Overflowing grace

Christ’s faithful outreach

 

With every new day

Worry taking flight

Christ’s open gateway

Now traveling light

From Matthew 11:28-30:  “Come to Me, all you who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”

Expecting our best

God shall never rest

 

God’s future glory

Becomes our story

 

Adopting each child

Life now reconciled

 

What’s lying ahead?

God’s plan weaves its thread

 

Life fosters trials

Coming with each mile

 

His Word, guidance, love

Shining from above

 

God’s sacred fitness

Our constant witness

 

Daring to dream now

God’s mercy allows

 

Caring, righteous Lord

Trusting His accord

 

Patience encouraged

Waiting with courage

 

Together working

Blessed networking

 

Humbleness fills life

Removing all strife

 

Sowing fertile seeds

Harvest’s bread now feeds

 

Called by Jesus Christ

His blood sacrificed

 

Glory fills God’s name

Building each life’s frame
