The Past, The Present and the Future....

The Past ~ Sometimes the past seems to enshroud me. Like a thick cloud that won't fade. Mistakes and Memories and faces come into the mind as if they were but yesterday. People I've said goodbye to and those who I never had a chance to penetrate into my heart. The Present ~ When times like these come in, my days are spent in reflection. Hours spent in regret and shame. And I become useless for the cause of Christ. The Future ~ Days of reflection cause my future to be bleak and uncertain with no where to turn and no place to run. I sink in despair with no hope. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> But in the stillness of my soul whispers the old hymn... In Times Like These (Ruth Caye Jones - Mother Jones) In times like these, you need a Savior In times like these you need an anchor Be very sure, be very sure Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock This Rock is Jesus, Yes, He's the one This Rock is Jesus, The only One Be very sure, be very sure Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock In times like these you need the Bible In times like these o be not idle Be very sure, be very sure Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock This Rock is Jesus, Yes, He's the one This Rock is Jesus, The only One Be very sure, be very sure Your anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock In times like these, I have a Savior In times like these, I have an anchor I'm very sure, I'm very sure My anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock This Rock is Jesus, Yes, He's the one This Rock is Jesus, The only One I'm very sure, I'm very sure My anchor holds and grips the Solid Rock With Christ as my Guide The Past ~ is in the Past. Friends can be found there, Memories can hold such joy, and reflection can cause me to go forward. The Present ~ is a new day of life. The LORD is here beside me, and He will guide me. The Future ~ is full of Hope and Faith... Trust and Resting in the arms of my Savior. And there is no fear in His arms. "For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly." ~ Psalms 84:11.

With Just One Touch

With just His hand, He touched a dying land. With just one touch, He did so much! The Lame could walk and the Blind could see. The dead were quickened and the devil made to flee! Christ took Wisdom and understanding and sealed it into a willing heart. He gave strength to the weak and power to those falling apart. With just one Word spoken, the bind of sin was broken. With Just a finger, The power of His spirit did linger. Christ blesses all who are on His side. He gives hind's feet so they do not slide. He provides forgiveness to all who call, And picks up all those who fall. With just His hand, He lifts up those who are on sinking sand. With just one touch, He did so much! Our cup He continues to fill every day, And Joy Our Savior gives for us today. To Know Him Better, He draws us near. Our every cry He does wait to hear. With Just a Word He does say, He Guides us along the way. With Just a finger still, He points us to His will. In a bottle He places every tear, Near the LORD, we have nothing to fear! He Knows thee by name, cleave to the LORD! Remember He is near, Stay in His Word!
