He Will Lift You By His Love....

Clytie, Fredric, Lord Leighton
"Souls in danger look above,
Jesus completely saves;
He will lift you by His love,
Out of the angry waves,
He's the Master of the sea
Billows His will obey;
He, your Savior wants to be,
Be saved today!"
"The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord...
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved."
~~Romans 6:23; Acts 4:12 KJV~~

THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU




WEARY, TIRED AND HEARTBROKEN?

" The heart is by nature restless as old ocean's waves; it seeks an object for its affection; and when it finds one beneath the stars, it is doomed to sorrow. Either the beloved changes, and there is disappointment; or death comes in, and there is bereavement. The more tender the heart, the greater its unrest. Those in whom the heart is simply one of the largest valves are undisturbed, because they are callous; but the sensitive, the generous, and the unselfish, are often found seeking rest and finding none. To such, the Lord Jesus says, "Come unto Me and I will give you rest."

Think about God. Make much of Him till He broadens and fills the horizon of faith. Then prayer will come into its marvellous inheritance of wonders. The marvels of prayer are seen when we remember that God's purposes are changed by prayer. God's vengeance is stayed by prayer, and God's penalty is remitted by prayer. Here is a force which must be increasingly used, that of prayer, a force to which all the events of life ought to be subjected.

Prayer brings to us blessings which we need, and which only God can give and which prayer can alone convey to us. Asking is man's part. Giving is God's part. The praying belongs to us. The answer belongs to God. Man makes the plea and God makes the answer. The plea and the answer compose the prayer.

God is everywhere, watching, superintending, overseeing, governing everything in the highest interest of man. He is not an absentee God. He did not make the world with all that is in it, and turn it over to the so-called natural laws and then retire into the secret places of the universe having no regard for it or for the working of His laws. His hand is on the throttle. The work is not beyond his control. Earth's inhabitants and its affairs are not running independent of Almighty God. God's hand is in everything. None are beyond Him or beneath His notice.

The providence of God reaches as far as the realm of prayer. It has to do with everything for which we pray. Nothing is too small for the eye of God, nothing too significant for His notice and His care. God's providence has to do with even the stumbling of the feet of His saints. The care of Providence reaches to the most insignificant creatures and the most minute events - - the death of a sparrow and the fall of a hair."

THEREFORE FRET NOT, NEITHER BE WEARY. LIFT UP THE HANDS THAT HANG DOWN AND GO TO GOD IN PRAYER... "CASTING ALL YOUR CARES UPON HIM FOR HE CARES FOR YOU."





"The purpose of life is to look for its purpose." It still echoes in my mind, a saying that I first read in my Literature 101 book. Some of us were born in a privilege childhood and some were born in the dimness and obscurity of poverty but the one common denominator that binds us altogether is our souls' searching for the deep and profound things of life. "Who am I? Why am I here?" are the common questions that come to mind from time to time. When we experience nothing but the enjoyment of all life's pleasures, we regard life as beautiful, but when sufferings, pain and sorrows come, we regard life as one whole big dark room. We tend to disregard the beauty of the rose when we are hurt by its thorns. Often the hurt, the pain, sorrows and sufferings dim our view of the bright skies that lay ahead. But to the courageous, the brave and the patient, rewards of greatness and satisfaction in living are given. We are like soldiers fighting for our very own existence so hold your head high soldiers and march forward with courage because the profound reason and meaning of life is to be understood by only the wisest and the bravest!!!

Facts, Facts, Facts!!!Image

The distance of the earth from the sun, approximately 93,000,000 miles is just right to sustain life!

The 23 1/2 degree tilt of the earth on its axis ensures seasonal changes without which much of the earth would be desert!

The balance of oxygen (21%) and nitrogen (78%) in the air we breathe is perfect for supporting life!

An ozone layer in the atmosphere shelters our planet from deadly ultraviolet rays from the sun!

These and more are but proofs of an Intelligent Maker!

"The starry heavens on a moonlit night, a golden sunset at the end of the day, majestic mountain peaks, tall, stately trees, the music of a babbling brook, the warm rays of sunshine, or perhaps something as common, and as beautiful as a wildflower in the field." May we never become too busy to appreciate the ordinary things in life and to offer gratitude to God!Image

THOUGHTS, THOUGHTS, THOUGHTS!!!

"True love endures in spite of difficulties. It does not depend upon the continuance of pleasing qualities in the loved one. It flows from a deep desire for the wlefare of the other and grows sweeter with the passing of the years."Image

"Beauty, youth, good fortune, even love itself, cannot keep care and pain, loss and sorrow, from the most blessed for - 'Into each life some rain must fall, some days must be dark and dreary.'.." but....

"God's hands that holds the ocean depths can hold my small affairs; His hand which guides the universe can carry all my cares."Image

QUOTES FROM A CLASSIC

" My great miseries in this world have been Heathcliff's miseries, and I watched and felt each from the beginning; my great thought in living is himself. If all else perished, and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger. I should not seem a part of it...I am Heathcliff - he's always, always in my mind not as a pleasure to myself - but as my own being!" (Catherine from Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights)

POETRY

I never saw a moor;

I never saw the sea,

Yet know I how the heather looks

and what a billow be.

I never spoke with God,

nor visited in heaven.

Yet certain am I of the spot

As if the checks were given.

(Emily Dickinson)
