How Deep

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long;
we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through him that loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers,
nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature,
shall be able to separate us from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
 

~Rom 8:35-39~



How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure,
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure.

~Stuart Townend~

Pathways

"But He knoweth the way that I take:

when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold."

~Job 23:10~

God has not promised skies always blue,

flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;

God has not promised sun without rain,

joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

But God has promised strength for the day,

rest for the labor, light for the way,

grace for the trials, help from above,

unfailing sympathy, undying love.

~Annie Johnson Flint~

Wanted

"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,

saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil,

 to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me,

and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall

search for me with all your heart."

~Jeremiah 29:11-13~

It is not what we do that matters, but what a

sovereign God chooses to do through us.

God doesn't want our success; He wants us.
