Psalms 36:5-10

Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens; Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

Your righteousness is like the great mountains; Your judgments are a great deep; O Lord, You preserve man and beast.

How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings.

They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures.

For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.

Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, And Your righteousness to the upright in heart.

Gethsemane

By Claire Ryann

Jesus climbed the hill to the garden still His steps were heavy and slow; Love and a prayer took Him there, to the place only He could go

Gethsemane ...Jesus loves me ...So He went willingly to Gethsemane

He felt all that was sad, wicked or bad; Washed the pain we would ever know; While His friends were asleep, He fought to keep His promise made long ago

Gethsemane ...Jesus loves me ...So He went willingly ...To Gethsemane

The hardest thing that ever was done; The greatest pain that ever was known; The biggest battle that ever was won; This was done by Jesus, the fight was won by Jesus

Gethsemane ...Jesus loves me ...So He gave His gift to me ...In Gethsemane

Gethsemane ...Jesus loves me ...So He gives His gift to me ...In Gethsemane

"I KNOW"

I took my cloth to my tailor and asked him to fix the little opening near the pocket.

The man turned the cloth inside out and then began to TEAR the pocket with his hands... Hah! I was like, "I said you should sew, not tear".

So I shouted, 'You are tearing my cloth'.But the tailor replied "I KNOW".

Those two words sank into me like when a heavy stone sinks in water. I couldn't talk again.

He's the tailor, and I'm just a customer. Even though I couldn't relate tearing with sewing but the Tailor said "I KNOW".

God is saying, 'I KNOW'.

He hears your complaints.

Father I need a job, its been long I left school.... "I KNOW"

Father, My fiancee just left me... 'I KNOW'.

I have no money to pay for my rent..." I KNOW"

I have no money to cater for my needs..."I KNOW"

I have been married without children...." I KNOW"

I need a husband/wife...." I KNOW"

I can't pay my children school fees..... "I KNOW"

I just lost my job and I i have a family.... "I KNOW"

So many times when the Lord is fixing us, He starts by 'tearing' us. Tearing our confidence in ourselves, Tearing all our philosophies, Tearing our pride and fake humility, Tearing the things we call dear and giving us the truly dear things.

The only thing necessary is wisdom. Wisdom to know when it is the Lord and when it isn't the Lord. The devil tears to KILL, God tears to FIX. God tears the old to give you the new.

God's tearing fire only refines His own. God's tearing only yields the peaceable fruit of Righteousness.

So in reality, God tears no man, He only makes.

We call it TEARING, He calls it MAKING.

We call it BREAKING, He calls it BUILDING.

He knows you have need even before you ask. That's why when we complain... He responds thus: I KNOW".

"I KNOW what I'm doing. I have it all planned out—plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for" -Jeremiah 29:11

Dear friend, whatever tearing you are presently going through, don't give up, don't give in, don't lose hope, hold onto God, He is busy working out something for you. And Very Soon,

You will soon share your testimony as God lives.............!

God provides

By Tamela Mann

God provides, so why do I worry about my life; When You come to my rescue a thousand times; Every other voice it is a lie; God provides

God provides, in ways I can't explain and can't deny; The little that I have He multiplies; Just when I feel He won't show up on time; God provides

He'll come through; When the clouds of doubt rain down on you; and test everything you thought you knew; Now you finally see what God can do, for you

So tonight, close your eyes; There's no more need to fight; Watch God provide

God provides; It's hard to say when there's no food to eat; Or what you see feels all that life will be; and will this be another year of misery, for me; But my faith, can't survive on just things I see; And my feelings can't control my destiny; See God I only want what you believe, for me

So tonight, close your eyes; There's no more need to fight; Watch God provide

God provides (yeah, he will provide); God provides (before your eyes); God provides (oh, he will, he will)...provides

So tonight, close your eyes; There's no more need to fight; watch God provide

God provides (He will provide); God provides (before your eyes, He will); God provides (whatever your need, I know that he will provide)

God provides (yes, he'll step right in, in the nick of time, yes he will); God provides (he'll open the windows of heaven); God provides (and pour you out a blessing, you won't have room to receive, yeah)

So tonight, close your eyes; There's no more need to fight; Watch God provide

"The tree does not bother about flowers that fall. It is always busy making new flowers blossom. Life is not about what we lost so far. It's about when we can grow. Never hate people who are jealous of you, but respect their jealousy. Remember whoever is trying to bring you down is already below you. Focus on your dreams and leave the losers to waste all their time planning evil against you. No one in this world is pure and perfect...So judge less and Love more...Leave bad memories behind and learn to forgive quickly. Start everyday with faith and have hope for a better tomorrow. Enjoy the beauty of the new gift called today. Keep loving." -an awesomely encouraging letter from a sister in God👏 ✓Jan 27,2018

How Sweet the Consciousness of a Divine Friend

✓Your compassionate Redeemer is watching you with love and sympathy, ready to hear your prayers and to render you the assistance which you need. He knows the burdens of every mother’s heart and is her best friend in every emergency. His everlasting arms support the God-fearing, faithful mother. When upon earth, He had a mother that struggled with poverty, having many anxious cares and perplexities, and He sympathizes with every Christian mother in her cares and anxieties. That Saviour who took a long journey for the purpose of relieving the anxious heart of a woman whose daughter was possessed by an evil spirit will hear the mother’s prayers and will bless her children.

✓He who gave back to the widow her only son as he was carried to the burial is touched today by the woe of the bereaved mother. He who wept tears of sympathy at the grave of Lazarus and gave back to Martha and Mary their buried brother; who pardoned Mary Magdalene; who remembered His mother when He was hanging in agony upon the cross; who appeared to the weeping women and made them His messengers to spread the first glad tidings of a risen Saviour—He is woman’s best friend today and is ready to aid her in all the relations of life. -egw {ah.204}

"You Are The Reason"

By Calum Scott

There goes my heart beating. Cause you are the reason. I'm losing my sleep. Please come back now

There goes my mind racing. And you are the reason. That I'm still breathing. I'm hopeless now

I'd climb every mountain. And swim every ocean. Just to be with you. And fix what I've broken. Oh, cause I need you to see. That you are the reason

There goes my hands shaking. And you are the reason. My heart keeps bleeding. And I need you now

If I could turn back the clock. I'd make sure the light defeated the dark. I'd spend every hour, of every day. Keeping you safe

I'd climb every mountain. And swim every ocean. Just to be with you. And fix what I've broken. Oh, cause I need you to see. That you are the reason

I don't wanna fight no more. I don't wanna hide no more. I don't wanna cry no more. Come back I need you to hold me (You are the reason) Come a little closer now. Just a little closer now. Come a little closer. I need you to hold me tonight

I'd climb every mountain. And swim every ocean. Just to be with you. And fix what I've broken. Cause I need you to see. That you are the reason

"Troubles may invade, but these are the lot of humanity. Let patience, gratitude, and love keep sunshine in the heart though the day may be ever so cloudy.

The home may be plain, but it can always be a place where cheerful words are spoken and kindly deeds are done, where courtesy and love are abiding guests." -Egw
