“True Love”
August 27, 2008O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
O light that foll’west all my way,
I yield my flick’ring torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.
O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

A thought for today.
August 14, 2008Today, I was thinking about God’s grace and what he has already given us in him. I could not help but think of the verse in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
I know this is something we all know, but just wanted to post it. It was just a good reminder to me that God’s grace is sufficient in all times in our lives. No matter what we may be going through or feeling God is always right there to take us through. Also, its when we are at our end and have nothing more to give that Christ comes throught and shows his power. For when we are weak, then he is strong. Hope this is an encouragement to you. May we all look to God’s grace that is all and the only thing that will get us through.
