Some day you will see the light, All He asks is that you trust Him, Walk by faith and not by sight, Do not fear when doubts beset you, Just remember-He is near; He will never, never leave you, He will always, always hear. Faithful is He who has promised, He will never ... Faithful Is He who has promised? Are you passing through a testing? Is your pillow wet with tears? Do you wonder what the reason. Why it seems God never hears? Why it is you have no answer To your oft-repeated plea. As you wait on bended knee? Do you wonder as you suffer. Whether God does understand. And if so, why He ignores you, Fails to hold you in His hand? Do black doubts creep in, ...

Have Faith My Child Look not, to the enemies arrows. Look not, to doubting questions of why. But look to the East of sweet vict'ry. Our Father's in control and draws nigh. Have Faith My Child Look not, at the circumstances of grim. Look not, to the heartaches of woe. But look to the Master of comfort; Upon Him, your head, lay down low. Have Faith My Child Look not, to the attacks of this world. Look not, to the ravings of men in sin; But lay your towering burdens down. By Grace, through faith, trust Him.

... Faith Real Faith is like a blanket, That keeps you cozy and warm. While we trust in our Savior, In a raging storm. Faith is the assurance, Of the fullness of life. Of the loyalty of our heavenly Father, To rescue us from daily strife. Faith is BELIEVING, In God's eternal Word. And as we rest in His Truth, Our prayers will never go unheard. Faith is total reliance, On Jesus, the King of Kings, He is steadfast and our safe haven. He is Life's only MainSpring! Faith is complete honesty, Confession is good for the soul. And when we admit wrong doing, We're on the way to becoming whole. Faith is holy reverence, To the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The enduring" Three-In-One" In whom our lives we commit. Without faith we are the losers, That's when our enemies win. Put on the crown of Faith, And ...

Just turn to Him and pray!" Have faith in God ," said Jesus," Study His Word each day" Your faith will grow in leaps and bounds, if you let God have His way!

... The Laugh Of Faith The laugh of faith is: victory while yet in the midst of the storm, while battles grow fierce, and sharp arrows pierce, attempting much spiritual harm. The laugh of faith is: joy during times of suffering and loss; it is knowing the Savior looks only with favor, as you struggle, yet carry your cross. The laugh of faith is: peace when the waves flow o'er the boat, and demons of hell prevent you to bail, and you know for a fact you can't float. The laugh of faith is: love when unlovely people assail, when, through no fault of your own, you stand alone, and companions forsake you to fail. The laugh of faith is: long suffering when the trials seem never to end; you are at the end of your rope with no reason to hope, forsaken by even your friends. The laugh of faith is: gentleness with those ...
... Faith Without Works Believe and be saved the minister said, Believe and be saved and rise from the dead. Through grace ye are saved from sin and from hell, So simply believe and all will be well. The preacher continued and read from the book, How all can reach heaven, both angel and crook. When all had been said and the church recessed; With money collected and everyone blessed; The preacher retired to his spacious new home, In his humble Mercedes with everything chrome. He sat in his study, his thoughts running deep, He dozed for a moment, and died in his sleep. He ran to Saint Peter and wearing a grin, Said" I believe in the Savior, so please let me in"" Oh no, not another ," said Peter with a sigh," Satan's sure working, the tolls running high" The preacher looked puzzled, then saw in a flash, The plan of ...
... A Simple Faith The ravages of pain and sorrow, life's burdens, toils and cares Have me questioning my God, at my firmest belief tears Are you really there I wonder, you don't seem to be, Is my God a myth? Does he really look out for me? To trust or not I do not know I've tried so hard to do, All that you've taught, just surrender, let it all belong to you. Infinite silence I hear in reply He's got me so confused Am I to stand and patiently watch-hopes shatter, plans diffuse? What is the answer my soul pleads, I can't bear this any more Oh Lord I just can't seem to find the key to each closed door. Silence again, I bow my head, get down on bended knees Perhaps I've sinned sometime, Oh Lord, reveal it please At last upon my Creators face I clearly see a smile He says you should have asked ...

Don't be discouraged if burdens come to you, Seems everyone has them in what we do; It may be difficult, but God will see you through, Keep your Faith strong and hold on! Trials may come to you day or night, Your walk in life may not be bright; Focus your eyes on Jesus .He is the Light, Keep your Faith strong and hold on! Just keep holding on and don't give up, Don't allow your mind to become corrupt; There may be a bitter (or) better cup, Keep your Faith strong ...

... My Faith I would like to talk with you, About a battle I'm going through. I don't blame anyone one but me, My faith is weak, you see. The reason my faith is so weak, I don't attend church every week. As for reading my bible everyday, I don't, I'm ashamed to say. Many times trials come my way, It seems like most everyday. I don't pray as the bible tells us, So I have no right to go and fuss. The good news I can tell you now, To the Lord I will humbly bow. His arms will be reaching for me, And His love, I will plainly see. If I continue living in His love, Soon I will be in Heaven above. This is a day I'm longing to see, Through eternity, with Jesus I'll be. Even though now my faith is weak, It may be strong come next week. By ...

... Just A Seed Of Faith Matthew 17: 20 Do you have some rocky mountain in your life you can t surmount? Are there bends along your path you fear to turn? Are the worries that torment you far too numerous to count? For solutions to your problems do you yearn? Oh, you wake up in the morning with your head all in a spin, Thinking only of the projects of the day. But your mind is in a tizzy. Oh, where should you begin? You just wish that all the world would go away! In your heart you know God s able, your problems to dissolve, But the devil s filled your head all up with doubt. Yes, your path s so steep and rocky that your fears you can t resolve, And the faith you have is just a mustard sprout. With God nothing is impossible; so use your seed of faith: He ...

He loves everything He created, And He created everything: He made man in His own image, This holy. righteous King. He trusts all who love Him, And when we knock upon His door, He is always waiting and ready, To bless us even more. Like any good father, He wants what's best for us: He has a plan that may take time, We can't be impatient and fuss. For when we finally look back, And see the rivers we have crossed, We will know beyond any doubt, We were never really lost. That is what real faith is about, ...
28. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Our Faith. [Poems]
... Our Faith Our faith in God is easy when the Waters 'round are stilled, When the voyage undertaken finds Our dreams and hopes fulfilled. But holding on to God is hard When wrestling with our doubt, And when the storms are fiercest, And our boat is tossed about. It's then our faith is shaken, When the Master's sound asleep, Not knowing we are sinking, and The waters 'round are deep. We wonder then how He, Who's Lord Of all the land and sea, Could seem to be so unaware Of our catastrophe. It's when our faith seems weakest, God will calm the sea and soul And when we are most broken that He'll touch, and make us whole.

... found beautiful rare flowers; I'd share this beauty with you. In hopes that you would receive it; And enjoy its fine beauty too. God is the God of miracles; This saying, though old, is true. From the gleaming sun of creation; To the tiniest flower of blue. From whispering winds of refreshment; To showering splashes of streams. From beautiful fields of flowers; Colorful rainbows, bright stars and dreams. Each an amazing miracle; Bringing faith to a doubting heart. God's hand has created great fountains; In dry cold desert places of dark. On dead soil, a desert lay waste; Until the hand of God intervenes. The miracle hand of God's grace; Sprouts flowers in places not seen. I have, found beautiful rare flowers; Not known to the natural man. Found in the places of God's touch. Flowers of faith, I hold in my clutch. I will not keep this treasure to ...
... Walking Life's Trails From Paul D. Berube's fifth book in the" Lessons in Life" series. Along the trails that we travel, Life sometimes can get very hard; Yet, they lead to eternal life, The gift offered to us by God. At times the trails will get rocky, As we continue on this quest; These are the times we need be strong, When our faith is put to the test. Put to the test, our faith will be, As we travel along our trail; If we put true faith in the Lord, He will not let one of us fail. With God we will find happiness, Even when our friends let us down; In the Lord we will find true peace, Never having to wear a frown. Knowing through faith, God always hears, When we keep Him deep in our heart; In His time, He answers all prayers, Just as He has right ...

... Faith Of A Child The father, a well digger, strong was he, And as loving and kind as a father could be. And Mary his daughter, Just five years old, Was much dearer than millions in gold. To Mary her father was big, grand and nice, So each had a treasure, beyond any price. One day to the well, little Mary was sent, To take daddy his lunch, so gladly she went. But when she looked down, not a thing could she see. The well, like a pocket, was dark as could be. The father saw Mary and heard her voice too, But made not a sound, just to see what she'd do. She dropped to her knees, the dear little soul, And called down," Oh, Daddy, are you down in this hole ?"" Why, yes Mary darling, I'm here at your feet, Just drop my ...

Through The Eyes Of Faith Through The Eyes Of Faith They lived in an old house at the end of the lane And it seemed to me they lived in vain, For they were old and alone, the children all gone, And I thought that life had done them wrong, With not much to look forward to at days end, Except for a visit from a friend. But friends were few and far between And many nights passed without one seen. So, I made it my business, tho just a lad To become the best friend they ever had. At the end of each day, when chores were done, I walked down the lane at set of sun. It became a trip I looked forward to For I always learned something new About the way they lived their life, Relying on God in trouble and strife. As the years rolled by and I grew to a man, I realized that God had ...

... Was Broken Not long ago, my relationship with the Lord was as awesome as it could be. I trusted in Him, and I told Him a number of times that" He" can trust" me" My time in prayer with the Lord was something that I never thought I'd experience. It was personal and intimate, and most certainly, I felt His presence. Then there came a time that my world came tumbling down. When this happened, my faith decreased, and my face froze in a frown. The job that God told me I would have, I got. But then a week later, it was taken away, and I was so distraught. I couldn't even bare to talk about what happened. it hurt way too bad. Even when people tried to encourage me in the Lord, in my heart, I was still just as sad. I got to wondering if God really did speak to me like ...

I wish I would have known Him much earlier in my years. It means so much for Him to vanish all of my fears. When problems arise that I can't handle, I just go to Him in prayer, and rest assured that He was with me there. Faith is what pleases Him when we kneel to pray. We won't get an answer any other way. Without faith it is impossible to please Him as we go to Him in Prayer. When we use our faith and trust in Him He will always meet us there. That's why I love Him and honor His dear name.

41. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Storms. [Poems]
... Storms Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1: 2-4 NIV I did not know His love before, the way I know it now. I could not see my need for Him, my pride would not allow. I had it all, without a care, the" Self-sufficient" lie. My path was smooth, my sea was still, not a cloud was in my sky.

I've had days and weeks to pass on by I didn't feel You near. I learned a long time ago to trust You without fear. Feelings can be deceiving-they will carry you up and down, but faith is still believing even if you frown. With faith we can do anything that we believe Him for, So trust Him with your need and watch your faith soar. He is a God of miracles, just look all around and see, He made the world we're living in, even you and me. When troubles come and times are hard, just cast them at His feet, There is nothing too hard for Him that He can't possibly meet. Don't pout and ...

The Two great commands-Jesus gave to His friends, You must love God Almighty, And to others, lovingly tend. So I'll start right there, And see what comes after. A small door creaks open, As I begin a new chapter. I seem to be learning, And I want to learn more. When I'm faithful in little, God opens new doors. In hindsight it seems, Though I know it sounds strange, God's will for my life, Was all nicely arranged. Though it's not how I planned it, Not my personal preference, As I seek God's will for my life, My old nature's found severance. Though the plot for my life Once seemed so grand. I'm glad to find myself found In the palm of His hand Don't look for the big, When you're ...

... " Our times are in His hands" Each day we walk the sands of time, And leave our footprints behind, Each day we go forward and cannot recall, Sands in the hourglass only thoughts of the mind. Each footprint is different and no two are alike, As each walk in different paths along life's way, But all God's children must walk the straight and narrow road, In the steps of our Savior each new day. We must press forward in faith and not turn back, As we look forward to life's goals, And in our hearts we must hide His Word, As we seek his ways and promises to behold. The sands of time move swiftly, Through the dawning of each day's door, One day when the last grain of sand shall fall, Footsteps of faith shall lead to heaven's shores."

It pictures what my faith is like Trusting fully in my Lord Walking with my hand in His And grounded in His Word.

The leaves so green and beautiful Depict His amazing Grace The blossom, moving, full of joy, Reflects the image of His face.

... Faith Of A Hummingbird There once was this hummingbird, who when to his nest did fly, found there was nothing left of it, and angerly asked the question; why, God? He ranted and raved; he fussed and cussed, and was in such a titter, that he lost his cool, and his will to live, and died broken hearted and bitter! On the other hand, his neighbor choose a different path, for after grieving for a very short while, he decided that rather than be" down-N-out ", he'd choose instead to smile !!! He flew over many-a-ocean, and endured many troublesome storms, and instead of" giving up ", and" throwing in the towel ", he decided to" just keep on keeping on "!!!

They were required to find a tree As high as hope, as great as love, And sweet as charity above. This tree, that they were sent to find, Was also meant to have a sign. On every bough, it was to bear The cross ' symbol; everywhere. The Christmas tree was yet unborn. The one they found would be adorned With lights. But first, the task at hand. To find the tree, they'd search the land. Their search was long. It ended north. Deep in the forest, the fir brought forth.

... Lord will not desert us; He ll be with us through it all. We need to feel His presence even if we stumble and fall. He is always here beside us and He ll extend a helping hand, We only need to grasp it and He ll place us back on land. God sometimes sends these storms of life to help us to discover That even though they beat us down, He ll help us to recover. Our faith is sometimes tested with the storms of life we face, It sometimes takes a little time, but His plan falls into place. We grow in faith and character when we overcome these storms, Learning discipline and humility with each prick of every thorn. We learn to trust more fully and to never lose sight of hope, For when we face the storms of life, God will toss the saving rope. [by Emily McAdams Copyright 2002-submitted by: Emily McAdams ...

I've learned through trial and error; Now I do whatever I can; For the Lord has called upon me, To help Him teach His sacred plan. One time I didn't understand, What life was truly all about; It has much to do with learning; Sacrifice too, there is no doubt. Yes, I've found a purpose in life; It is to be with God above; Living a life like Jesus did, Won't earn ...

But each new day we get the chance, To renew the Love of our Savior; Through what we do and what we say, Through faith, we stay in His favor. That's The One life giving Resource, That through time will never run out; Even at the end of our trails, Our futures will not be in doubt.

Which will bring us eternal life, once we are saved. It's not about getting the latest trend, toy or game. It's about knowing the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, are the same. It's not about the biggest tree or the brightest lights. It's about faith in His word that will keep us on a path that's right. It's not about the amount of money we've spent. It's about the heavy load, on us, that causes His back to be bent. It's about the ultimate sacrifice, in the name of love. A man, once sent to us, as a messenger from above. A man, once sent to us, to save us from our sins. Always offering a way to live and to begin again. Maybe, Happy Birthday ...

... To His Sacrifice There are times in our lives we may feel, Like an outcast in this world we live in, We are ridiculed and put down by all those, Who desire to live a life full of sin. Because of their lack of understanding, They reject those who choose to receive, The gift through Jesus ' death and resurrection, To bring salvation to whoever will believe. When those feelings of self pity overwhelm you, As you struggle to remain faithful each day, Remember all the things Christ endured, For He knew there was no other way. He was tempted; He was mocked, just as we are, He was beaten; He was bruised for our sake, A crown of thorns was then placed on His brow, Before the ultimate sacrifice He would make. His hands and His feet were then pierced, As they nailed Him to that old wooden cross, He was guiltless and undeserving of this punishment, ...

... own state of mind is the determining key, For I am only the person I let myself be. I can be thoughtful and do all I can to help, Or be selfish and think just of myself. I can enjoy what I do and make it seem fun, Or gripe and complain and make it hard on someone. I can be patient with those who may not understand, Or belittle and hurt them as much as I can.

... yearn to bring them back-those years, if we just could. Life seemed so sweet and simple then, when we were twenty-one. Our days were filled with ideal plans of how we'd get things done. With cares, our minds weren't cluttered up. We lived just for today. That trials and snares could set us back, those thoughts we'd push away. But time is heartless, sometimes cruel. It wakes reality. It robs youth of its simple faith in ideality. With passing years, hard lessons come. Our ardor starts to fade. We trade our zeal for cautious doubt. In wariness we wade. We muddle through our middle years, and life becomes a chore. Each day bumps up against the next, and joins the one before. As years roll over us -like wheels-and age we can't outrun, we shy away from unknown paths; uncertainties, we shun. The passing years we can't recoup. ...

And so, to foreign soil they went to fight the evil foe Whose goal is world oppression where freedom reigns no more. They were American soldiers who paid the ultimate price, And we, the American people, must honor their sacrifice. For all the blessings we ve received, our nation must stand strong To vanquish brutal enemies and right their evil wrongs. And so, I humbly ask you to close your eyes and say A silent prayer and thank you. Two soldiers died today. The world has seen its share of war throughout these many ...
... Twelve Disciples and Me? How many times in life I wondered if I would have been a believer and follower of Jesus. Can you imagine walking this earth with your friends and God s son? Watching him perform miracles day after day until each day was done. Witnessing to sinners, turning water into wine, making blind men see. As I have imagined throughout my life about adventures with Thee. As I walked with them each day my faith became so strong. I learned more about HIS love and what was right and wrong. So when they came to get my Savior and hang him on that tree. How could anyone deny or rebuke him, please say it wasn t me? Would I have been like Peter and deny him ore & ore again. Would I have been like Judas and betray my old dear friend. We all knew HE was the son of God, sent from heaven above ...

There's one more thing that I have got to say-as I feel your love inside of me abound. I thank you, Lord, with all I have to give. For loving me and turning my life around. Epilog: It's easy to trust and have faith in the Lord-but, it's the turning over your life 100 %that I, along with so many others have a tough time doing. I keep asking myself," What am I missing? Why can't I just completely 'let go and let God ?" I think a lot of people are that way. They struggle with complete surrender and the irony is-life would be so much easier if we'd allow the Lord to carry our burdens instead of trying to take ...
... The Fortress Of Love Every marriage has its bumps in the road And they can pop up at any time. We must learn to navigate them safely With fairness, faith and open mind. No matter how far in your marriage you've gone The highway of love has its rules. The excitement of sex, trust and affection Never tolerates self-serving fools. They say marriages are made in heaven, But so are tornadoes, lighting and thunder. Cold hearts and hot heads never solve anything They just destroy what we love by blunder. Boredom, frustration, irritations and anger Douse the spark between you and your mate. More of the same fails to feed love s flame Till you wake up to find it's too late Human touch sustains the release of endorphins For both the giver and receiver. Never be afraid to hug your partner. For the language of touch is a reliever. Always remember to support your spouse When times of dilemma arise. The ...

She knows that she will miss him when the holidays are here, She also knows she won't get through without shedding a tear. So as she sees the leaves that blow and rearrange again, She knows that life is like the leaves now blowing in the wind. She knows there must be winter first and that's not far away, But springtime and our faithful ones will both return someday.

That's just what he would have her do and not change anything, Just enjoy the holidays and all that they will bring. We have the right to celebrate in joyous merriment, They ...

Enoch stayed close to his Maker Then by faith He was taken away; He walked with God then he was no more-Never tasting death and decay.

Throughout the years and the ages Mighty men listened to You As You shared Your thoughts and Your secrets With those who were upright and true.

Through lust, they try to enslave us, And silence God's voice in man. With focus of faith we shun them, Avoiding the grasp of their hand. Satan whispers his sadistic thoughts In every language and every ear. Tempting all with the sins of hell, Victims of misery, hopelessness and fear. Eagerly plotting to disrupt God's works, Evil swallows up souls like the shifting sand.

The churches are full of the faithful that sing, For the birth of our Lord, is a spiritual thing. The sound of Christmas sweetly fills the air, While frantic shoppers hustle from here to there. The windows of storefronts at this time of year, Reflect all their wonders as Christmas draws near. Little ones stand looking with their nose pressed to glass, As model trains on display come speeding past. The path to Santa is lined with girls and boys, With a list in their heart of their favorite toys. The stores shelves are crammed with dolls that crawl or walk, Games, cars, trucks, planes and stuffed toys that sing or talk.

In dappled sunlight doves stroll round Picking seeds from off the ground, Where they've been dropped by hungry souls From feeders high upon tall poles. The jays, for all their strength and size, Are often found to be generous guys. My faithful bluebird, quiet as a mouse, Sits atop her backyard house. Then, here comes my friend, the squirrel, Whom I have always known as Pearl. Pearl has now told all her kin To come on over, the nuts are in. And as I watch, there comes a hush, Then raindrops fall down in a rush. As I am jolted from my perch, My friends all hurry up the birch. From my porch, I watch and wait ...

Poets as a rule are high on adventure Like wondering bards or prophets today. Embracing hearts and minds with wisdom Casting through verse their visions at play. Poets have their dreams and their nightmares Of love, life, death, faith, and war. They feel the pain and tragedy of others Even those they've never met before. One merit of a poet's work, Which most people cannot deny, They say more and in fewer words To illuminate you and I. Their poems are used to convey passion By composers of both good and evil mood.

Watching her stirred old memories; My heart loosed its stubborn pride. The hardened shell of bitterness Fell around me in shards of dross; As I knelt beside my daughter, I saw my Savior on a cross.

As the bells tolled out the good news, My heart joined in to sing their song; A visit to the stable brought me Back to the Savior, where I belong!

... If You Could Love Me If you could love me enough to believe me when I tell you that I AM for you and stand in that faith. If you could seek me for every need, trusting that I will always do the most loving thing possible. If you could walk in paths as I guide you, with your eyes on me and not on the storm. If you could believe that nothing can harm you, with me at your side. If you could welcome our friendship, to realize things others only dream of. Then you might love me, with all your heart; And I could love you with all of mine. Love, God~Joyce C.

290. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Imagine That. [Poems]
... carried me and sweet delight would fill my soul as happy dreams came to unfold. Adventures read about in books would come alive with spies and crooks, as heroes came to save the day and on white horses rode away. I could be a princess pouring tea, a sailor on a ship at sea, a pioneer out on the plain tending herds in pouring rain. Every possibility... anything my mind could see. On magic carpet I could ride with faithful pals right by my side. Sometimes I braved the fight alone, an injured warrior carried home; a hero due to some great quest with medals all across her chest. In time, I came to realize good people come in every size. They live and learn; they make mistakes. Sometimes they're real; sometimes they're fakes. And each and every one has dreams that sail undaunted by our means. We all long to be the ONE who fought the fight and ...
291. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- In My Prayers. [Poems]
... In My Prayers As you make your way through a fog of tears, a landslide of heartache and multiple fears, I'll remember you in my prayers. While God holds you safe in the palm of His hand and sends His angels to help you stand, I'll remember you in my prayers. Each minute you long for peace and rest, courageously fighting this willful test, I'll remember you in my prayers. When a ray of hope pierces the night and your faith is renewed by the heavenly sight, I'll drop to my knees and thank the Lord for the grace of prayer and your spirit restored.

... Independence Day For Me My daughters are both married and my son is college bound, It's quiet as I sip my coffee as I glance around. For over twenty years I raised my family faithfully, And brought them up to be the very best that they could be. They always kept me busy and my work was never done, But I am not complaining because most of it was fun. My husband loves the job he has and complimented me, For being such a great mom as we both worked diligently. But now the house is empty and the children are all grown, My husband is still working as I sit here all alone. I take another sip of coffee and enjoy the quiet, Remembering some past times when this house seemed like a riot. So now my days are mine alone, each and every day, And now I have my husband's blessing doing what I may. He said I earned this freedom and ...
... of His saints, When the time of their lives they depart, And lay down their lives as they follow His Son to the abode which came from God's heart. The toils and trials of life put away, Like a well marked page in a book, Enfolded with care and a thanksgiving prayer, For the pathway of Christ that they took. God requires that His child, a work worn soul Leave the useless body behind, and in the last act of faith of departing this life arise with pure spirit and mind. United he will be through all eternity with goodness, peace, joy and love, with God in three persons and saints gone before who will praise and rejoice up above.

... me up His poor little pitiful lamb I don't deserve His mercy Or the grace that He gives so free But He restores to me full fellowship When I pray dear God forgive me Perhaps you are feeling so lonely You've strayed and can't find your way home And you think that God doesn't love you That He's left you to make it all alone But deep in your heart you are crying Lord help me is your silent prayer If you reach out your hand, believing in faith You'll find that He's right there Let your heart cry out Lord help me Though I've wandered You know where I am And He'll reach right down to pick you up His poor little pitiful lamb~Cheryl A.

... He Makes No Mistakes My Father's way may twist and turn, My heart may throb and ache, But in my soul I'm glad to know, He makes no mistakes, My cherished plans may go astray, My hopes may fade away, But still I'll trust my Lord to lead, For He doth know the way, Though the night be dark and it may seem, That day will never break, I'll pin my faith, my all in Him, He makes no mistake, There's so much now I cannot see, My eyesight's far too dim, But come what may, I'll simply trust, And leave it all to Him, For by and by the mist will lift, And plain it all He'll make, Through all the way, though dark to me, He made not one mistake.

... never feel excluded-No matter who or what you are, your name has been included. And no matter what your past has been, trust God to understand. And no matter what your problem is, just place it in His hand. For in all of our unloveliness this great God loves us still-He loved us since the world began, and, what's more, He always will!~Helen Steiner Rice~Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

... sorry She was tired and weak Time kept its ticking Life kept its stride Hope sprung eternal Pain ebbed to low tide To some small degree Her circumstance altered Her step has more purpose Where once it had faltered But ask her one question. She ll smile at the thought." Just why did this happen, Just what were you taught ?" In response she might tell you Though you might think her odd" Without the dark troubles, I d have missed faithful God"" Now I ve stories to tell Of His love never-ending, My trust in His wisdom No longer is pending"" He walked with me always, I see that truth now And I love Him so deeply In ways I hadn t allowed." So, why did I struggle Through such horrible pain? Perhaps my story will help you" When you call on his name" Like raindrops on flowers Like silver refined Like storm clouds in summer They ...
... His Church Shall Stand! In an unbroken line come the weary and lost, as they're drawn to the Lord in their need; He brings them in answer to the prayers of His saints, who bow to their Savior as they plead. For many long years, their assignment has been the Lord's great commission to fulfill; Their faithful intercession rings out day by day as they strive to perform their Lord's will. This church that was founded on Jesus Christ, the Rock, has been battered and bruised through the years; Still, her undying love and desire to serve God has sustained her through trials and through tears. And God in His mercy has kept her secure, as He's held the church safely in His hand. Until He calls her home by His sovereign grace, He will empower her-and His church shall stand!~Connie Faust~[ by: Connie Faust, Copyright 2007 (beracah @evenlink.com)-submitted ...
... It's Me, My Love Here I am my darling, it is just me, I am the One who died to set you free. I ve waited so long for your attention, For your returned love and adoration. Friendship I gave, for you, I was concerned, How I yearn for these things to be returned. I ve loved you faithfully starting at birth, And will continue till you leave this earth. I ve waited for you to make me first place; For you to diligently seek my face. I love and care much about you, my dove, I came down to die from Heaven above. I lived out a perfect life here on Earth, To get your attention; to show your worth. Oh how I pray this one thing you will see: You re worth more than my own life is to me. I gave my life freely, for you, I came ...
