Verse of the Day

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Matthew 5:46-48

Life

When we are weak, we are strongest! In times of sadness, we can be glad. 'Tho born in sin, we are forgiven, Safe,'tho surrounded by bad.

Poor, yet possessing great riches, Pilgrims on earth, owning a heavenly home. Persecuted, yet rejoicing, Space-bound, yet in touch with God's throne!

'Tho tempted, more than conquerors. Facing death, yet unafraid. 'Tho stricken, finding blest comfort. Owing great debt, finding it paid!

Sinful, yet dressed in righteousness. Faithless yet miracles see. In turmoil, yet knowing great peace, From the shackles of sin set free!

When starved for affection, loved by God. When hungry for sustenance, abundantly fed. When despairing and defeated, given hope. When groping in darkness, with certainty led.

When fretting and restless, given patience. When thorns line our way, know God's grace. When losing our loved ones, on promises rest. When example we long for, see the Master's face.

When others fail us, know His unfailing love. When lacking in wisdom, have His thoughts within. When unable to pray, by the Holy Spirit aided. Never alone, with spiritual kin.

The Christian life cannot be explained By the limited human mind -- God is the Giver of all these gifts! Answers to these enigmas in Him we find.
