Each moment, each day, throughout suff'ring and pain,
When nought in the world can give comfort or cheer,
When sighing and weeping encompasses me,
Lord, still all my sighing and wipe every tear.

We must work, labor for the Lord but we must be careful that our work is balanced with intimate and personal love for our dear Lord Jesus. Indeed, we need to love Him more than we work.
The simplest prayer and the only words we need to say are what the Lord says to us. Psalm 27 is a very good word. Verse 8 says, “When You say, Seek My face, / To You my heart says, Your face, O Jehovah, will I seek.” Whatever God says to us, we can simply repeat.
We become what we love & who we love shapes what we become. Imitation is not a literal mimicking of Christ, rather it means becoming the image of the beloved, an image disclosed through transformation. This means we are to become vessels of God's compassionate love for others.
One thing that we always treasure is that the Lord still speaks to us personally and directly today. True growth in life depends upon our recieving the word directly from God. Only His speaking in us has true spiritual value. #Msg1#ITERO2023
Everything that you can see will die and rot. Every title you can earn will be lost. Every glory you receive from men will turn to nothing. Live for that which is eternal. Live for the one that died for you.
- P. Washer
Don't love & live for what God is terminating; love and live for what God is doing to consummate the age. Be part of what God is building up, not what He is tearing down. We are living in a time of upheaval, of catastrophic change.
I have everything to gain and nothing to lose by believing in God, and I have everything to lose and nothing to gain by not believing in God. On these grounds, one would be foolish not to believe.
-Blaise Pascal
Eventhough all of God's will is good, not all good things are God's will. The things may be good, but these good things may not be God's will. #wnee#cwwn
