A Hymn of Love

-



O Lord, how I love you so dearly
Words are not enough to explain my love for you
I know not how to express/contain
myself when I think of your love
But glory to God for the Holy Spirit 
that helps me in my weakness

Your love is so encompassing that
when I fall a thousand times you raise 
me up ten thousand times
I, a mere creature that you created
You bestow such wonderful grace upon
What did I do to deserve such love?
I have no answer to this.
Oh, how can I repay this love?
I know not how.

Out of the abundance of your love in me
all I can say is:
Take my life and let them be consecrated Lord for thee
Take my moment and my days let them
flow in ceaseless praise
Take my sliver and my gold, not a mite will I withhold
I lay my life down as a living sacrifice
Let it be well-pleasing unto thee my Lord

Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him. ~ Job 13:15 One of the darkest nights in history was when Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane uttered the words: Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You  will  (Matthew 26:39) .  Jesus faced with the sin of the whole world and the reality of been forsaken by the Father, something He had never experienced. No words or emotions can capture what Jesus faced at that moment but praise God, He came through by the power of the Holy Ghost and got a name above all other names (Hebrews 1:3-4). Let us examine the story of Job today and see what the Lord has for us in it. The Bible says that God allowed the devil to attack Job’s character and health (Job 1:12; Job 2:6). During this time, Job lost all of his wealth and was struck with painful boils from his foot to the crown of his head. When his friends came to see him, they could not utter a word for seven da

The Ancient Path

Thus says the Lord: “Stand in the ways and see, And ask for the old paths, where the good way is, And walk in it; Then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’  - Jeremiah 6:16 In the past couple of decades, we have had rapid progress in technology. This progress has led to a fast-paced lifestyle. Everything we do now moves fast-paced, and sometimes we want to take a break from it all. In other words, take a rest because we feel we are nearing our limit for a breakdown or burnout. We get breaks from time to time to rest our bodies. However, this is not enough as we cannot rest our minds due to things we still have to attend. The reality is that if we do not relax our mind (soul), there can never be rest for the body. The verse for today tells us how to get rest for our soul, which will also lead to rest for the body. To get rest for the soul, the Lord speaking through Prophet Jeremiah says we have to stand (pause though that might be inconvenient in
