Confidence is not based on you having all the resources needed to take care of yourself; confidence is based upon the truth that God is faithful.

From Lamentations 3:22-23:  “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.”

Roy Lessin has dedicated his life to Christian ministry.  During his 50 plus years, he has been studying the Bible, sharing its teachings with others, and authoring numerous Christian books.  He is also one of the co-founders of DaySpring Greeting Cards.

Entering empty valley

Lifeless without form

Yet, ember of hope breathes

Escaping from every storm

 

Waiting to hear Father’s voice

In depths of despair

Hope filled with steadfast love

Praying for His divine care

 

Standing tall in His presence

Father’s promised grace

Tender morning rises

Redeeming hope to embrace

 

Fulfilling spirit of hope

Found in Father’s Son

His peace granted to man

Leaving all darkness, as One

 

Believing in risen Christ

Truth revealed at dawn

Resurrection breathes life

Sending hope, faith draws upon

Fed from each Scripture verse

Receiving precious gift

Accepting Father’s love

Witnessing hope’s airlift
