Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;  Ephesian 5:1

Abide in Me

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.  John 15:4

Anchor of the Soul

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;  Hebrews 6:19

Sing!

Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name Jah, and rejoice before him.  Psalm 68:4

The Right Time

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:  A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;  A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;  A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;  A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;  A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;  A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;  A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Jesus Hug

Have you ever had a "Jesus hug", Do you know what one feels like? If you've never had a "Jesus hug", I pray one day you might.

A "Jesus hug" is different, As far as hugging goes; It's a little taste of Heaven, Here on earth below.

Only those who love the Lord, Can give a "Jesus hug"; It conveys God's grace and mercy, And unconditional love.

Those who give out "Jesus hugs" Always seem to somehow know Just when you're in need of one To make your spirit glow.

And if you ever need one I hope that I will see, So I can give you a "Jesus hug"; Just like someone did for me.

- Jan McIntosh

Path of the Spirit

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.  Romans 8:1-2

Giving

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.   2 Corinthians 9:7

Sun Rising

That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else.  Isaiah 45:6

Sticks

Sticks in a bundle are unbreakable.

- African Proverb

Dressed

For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:  Hebrews 6:7

The Strait Gate

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:  Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.  Matthew 7:13-14

God Blessed The Broken Road

I set out on a narrow way many years ago;

Hoping I would find true love along the broken road. But I got lost a time or two,

Wiped my brow and kept pushing through.

I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you.

That every long lost dream lead me to where you are. Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars. Pointing me on my way into your loving arms. This much I know is true, That God blessed the broken road

that led me straight to you.

I think about the years I spent just passing through, I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you. But you just smile and take my hand, You've been there, you understand. It's all part of His grander plan, That is coming true.

And every long lost road, led me to where you are. Others who broke my heart, they were just northern stars, pointing me on my way into your loving arms. This much I know it's true, That God blessed the broken road
that led me straight to you.

And now I'm just rolling home, Into my lover's arms. This much I know is true,
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you. Yes, at God blessed the broken road, that led me straight to you

-  Marcus Hummon, Bobby Boyd, Jeff Hanna

He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.  Psalm 147:3

Ministered

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.  Hebrews 6:10

Mountains

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.  Psalm 90:2

En Héritage

Ne donnez donc pas vos filles en mariage à leurs fils et ne prenez pas leurs filles comme femmes pour vos fils. Ne recherchez jamais leur prospérité ni leur bien-être. Ainsi, vous deviendrez forts, vous mangerez les meilleurs produits du pays et vous le laisserez en héritage perpétuel à vos fils.’ Esdras 9:12

Perfect Peace

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.  Isaiah 26:3

Seasoned

Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. Colossians 4:5-6

– Charles H. Spurgeon
