What a Friend!

Oh, what a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bare and Jesus loves me this I know! What great hymns about Jesus! Today we are going to look at a couple more verses that tell us about Jesus.    John 13: 1 Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.  John 15: 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.   Yes, Jesus loves me for the Bible tells me so!   Luke 22: 27 For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.    Phil.2: 8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.   Let’s thank God for the humility of Christ and the paying of our sin debt in full and forever. That o...

Proverbs For This Day!

Proverbs 2 King James Version  2  My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;  2  So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; 3  Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 4  If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5  Then shalt thou understand the fear of the  Lord , and find the knowledge of God. 6  For the  Lord  giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. 7  He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. 8  He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. 9  Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. 10  When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 11  Discretion shall preserve thee, understand...

Favourite Psalms!

 Today I am sharing two short but favourite Psalms; Psalm 23 and 123. I trust you will be blessed as you read them. Psalm 123 King James Version 123  Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. 2  Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the  Lord  our God, until that he have mercy upon us. 3  Have mercy upon us, O  Lord , have mercy upon us: for we are exceedingly filled with contempt. 4  Our soul is exceedingly filled with the scorning of those that are at ease, and with the contempt of the proud. Psalm 23 King James Version 23  The  Lord  is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3  He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4  Yea, though I walk through the valley...

Summer Afternoon!

A SUMMER AFTERNOON Sitting in my study, with window open wide, a cool Summer breeze, blows the paper by my side. The gentle breeze, blowing on my face, brings back, so many good memories, like this, that time in my mind, tries  to erase. Now I am trying, to write memories down, because if I forget, there is no one to ask, that still is around. So, on this Summer afternoon, sit and enjoy this day, whether in sunshine or shade, this day, wonderful day, is a day God has made, so no matter what happens, let’s never forget to pray! ~ Winston Staples

So Many!

SO MANY! So many cry out, so many are hurting, so many homeless, so many flirting; so many hungry, so many sad, so many looking for good, so many only find bad. So many want good health, so many are poor, so many want prosperity, so many are not sure; So many seek a good trail, so many find paths not trod, so many get lost, so many need God. So many are searching for Heaven, only one way is found, that way is Jesus so many need Him, so many He has found; So many give HIM Glory, so many will see HIM crowned, so many will bow  to Him, so many confess He is Lord, so many will see their King of Kings, and forever serve their Lord of Lords. ~ Winston Staples

God is Near!

God is near, as I walk in the forest green, and when I sit by waters clear, and I sense His presence, when I view the white tailed deer. I enjoy His presence in the morning still, while walking through a beautiful garden, seeing the lily and the golden daffodil. I know He is with me, while I am walking in a deep valley, or climbing very steep hills. I feel His warmth in the sunshine, and His freshness in the rain, and His gracious hand of mercy, while I am living with my pain. I feel God’s presence, when I read His Holy Word, there He reveals His story, the greatest love story ever heard. When I awake in the morning, I have nothing to fear, I praise God and give thanks, that my Lord is near.~ Winston Staples

My God is Real!

1 Vote   MY GOD IS REAL Some people go from day to day, not thinking about God. Others say there is no God, that He is not real. As I am sitting here writing this I am looking out my window viewing the beauty of nature around me and I wonder how any one could say, there is no God or He is not real. I see my God, in each flower, each tree, in each rain drop He sends my way. I see Him in each wave in the sea and hear His whisper in each gentle breeze. I hear His majesty in each song the song birds sing and I enjoy the blessing their melody brings. I know my God is real, when I see how lives are changed, when they give their life’s reins to Him. I know my God is real when He gives me joy in my times of stress. I know He is real when He gives me strength in times when I am weak and in pain and how He restores my soul when I pray. Yes dear friend, my God is real because I feel Him in my soul. Dear friend I trust that you will believe my God is real and feel the joy He can give your soul...
