| "Remember Whose You Are!" Many times throughout our lives Decisions that we make, Are not what God would have us do~ Our ways lead to mistakes! We then feel we are worthless, An aching in God's heart; As our ways led to failure When we left God out to start! Yet to Him we still are precious, We're the apple of His eye; He loves and He forgives us, And this, I think is why; God says, "You are my children! For you my Son did scar! Now cast your burdens on me And Remember Whose You Are!" ~ Sandy Sexton 12/01 |
Another year is dawning With the chance to start anew. May I be kinder, wiser, Lord, In all I say and do. Not so caught up in selfish gain That I would fail to see The things in life that mean the most Cost not a fancy fee. The warm, kind word that I can give, The outstretched hand to help, The prayers I pray for those in need-- More precious these than wealth. I know not what may lie ahead Of laughter or of tears; I only need to know each day That You are walking near. I'm thankful for this brand new year As now I humbly pray, My hand secure in Yours, dear Lord, Each step along the way. ~ Kay Hoffman |
| "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given to him." James 1:5 "BLESSED are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. Blessed are they that keep His testimonies, and that seek Him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity; they walk in His ways." Psalm 119:1-3 Cast thy burden upon the LORD and He shall sustain thee; He shall never suffer the rightous to be moved." Psalm 55:22 "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time: Casting all your cares upon Him; for He careth for you." Peter 5:6-7 "LET not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." John 14:1-3 |
| "Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honor preferring one another; Not slothful in business; fervent in soirit; serving the Lord; Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. Bless them which persecute you: bless and curse not. Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits." Romans 12:9-16 |
