The Joy That Visits My Soul

"O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary



St. Paul loved the person of Christ, because he felt sweet experience that Christ loved him. His love was but a reflection of Christ's love first. He loved to see christ, to embrace Him, and enjoy Him that had done so much and suffered so much for his soul. No joy ever visits my soul like that of knowing that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Heart's Desires

"God knows your heart's desires, and His plans and purposes for you are far greater than anything you can do on your own."




"God knows what it will take to accomplish His purpose. Sometimes, the greatest disappointment or tragedy can be the catalyst God uses for blessing and renewing hope - especially if the trial reveals a lack of faith on our part. While we cannot see the end of every hardship, the Lord can. And "He works all things together for good to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose" (Romans 8: 28)
Have blessed days ahead Bloggers!
