Another new day

Today is another new day the Lord has blessed us with. If you were able to get out of bed this morning, you are blessed! There are many who are unable to even sit up, let alone stand and walk alone.

We should be thankful for the help of our Lord and for His abundant blessings upon us. If we visit the nursing homes and see the patients who are confined to their bed or a wheel chair, we see those who may have once been as we are. And, we think that one day, we could be like these.

May the Lord give compassion to every member of the medical profession who cares for the sick and elderly, and to every worker who helps in these institutions. We pray for His help and healing and that the sick and infirmed be treated with dignity and respect.

The Healer

~THE HEALER~

Have you a heart that is weary
are you sick in body or soul,
We still have a great Physician,
the Healer has everything under control.

There is no problem which He cannot solve
The Healer was wounded in our place,
Jesus suffered the pain that should have been ours,
to bring salvation and wholeness, to the human race.

In this life, there will be pain and sickness
there will be death and sorrow while we walk this land,
We have a blessed hope and one who helps us,
we have a God who cares and understands.

No matter how deep the valley
or how high the mountain may be,
We'll make it through through by the power of His Spirit,
we must fully trust the Savior, who died to set us free.

The Healer is always present
He can still save and heal a soul sick with sin or pain,
When we trust in the Lord, we find His mercies,
there is still power in His blessed holy name.

HEARTS FOR CHRIST

Have you a heart for the lonely
those who are hurting or rejected?
Do you think of those who are homeless,
aged, despised, or neglected?

Hearts for Christ will love others
with a love which only God can give,
they will care about others, as Christ did,
share the gospel, to give others reason to live.

Jesus was the world's greatest Valentine
for He alone gave His life and great love,
without His supreme sacrifice,
we'd have no way to heaven above.

Hearts for Christ must be humble
we must depend on God's grace every day,
when we see a brother or sister stumble,
we should be willing to help them and pray.

What this world needs most is Jesus
His love and sacrifice will set them free,
People need to hear of salvation,
our Savior died for souls, on Calvary's rugged tree.

Love is the greatest gift of all
and although everything else may fail,
we know the love of God is freely bestowed,
His love shall always and forever prevail.

There is someone who cares, my friend
there is a God who truly loves you
your every burden He will bear,
our Precious Lord will see you through.

So reach out today with love
and let others know someone cares,
As you touch other hearts for Jesus,
you'll find God's love is always faithful and true.

~THE DAY AFTER~

One day soon, the Bridegroom will call for His Bride
We'll hear the cry when Jesus comes in the air,
The dead in Christ shall rise first to meet the Savior
And those alive in Christ on earth, shall join them there.

Souls on earth, left behind, shall face many woes
They shall mourn, and wish they had been prepared,
It will be one day too late, for many left here below,
They will wish they had accepted Jesus, and his love shared.

The day after the coming of Jesus
There will be many hearts trembling, in fear,
Many shall run here and there, not knowing the future,
But will soon know, the Day of God's judgment is very near.

The day after Christ comes, there will be weeping
Loved ones will be left behind, who refused God's plan,
Today is the day of salvation, and to be sure we are ready,
Today is the day, Christians must firmly take a stand.

One day soon, it will be "the day after"
His coming is foretold, the Day of the Lord is drawing nigh,
Jesus will split the Eastern skies as promised,
We shall meet our Blessed Lord, in the sweet by and by.

Be ready, for we know not the day or hour
when our Blessed Savior shall appear
From the signs of the times we can see
the day of the Lord is near.

~HOLD ON TO JESUS~

When trials of life assail you
or storm clouds come your way,
Hold on by faith to Jesus
you'll have a brighter day.

When problems of this world
seem to weigh you down
Look up to the Savior,
He can always be found.

The trying of our faith works patience,
it gives hope in our life,
We have a blessed Redeemer
who took away our sin and strife.

Though circumstances may look bleak
remember, things are not always as they seem,
For we have a Loving Savior
He is always working behind the scenes.

There is nothing God cannot handle
No problem is to big for Him to work out,
Look up to the King of Kings,
trust fully in Him and never doubt.

Jesus is the door which leads to life eternal,
there is only one way to God
When we enter through the straight gate,
we find help in this land we now trod.

The enemy may rage
but greater is our God within,
Hold on to the Lord,
storms of life always have to end.

Our Lives Are In Your Hands

~OUR LIVES ARE IN YOU LORD~

Our lives are in your hands, O Lord
created in your image, we have power to stand.
You are the Potter and we are the clay,
You make us new creations, according to your perfect plan.

Our life is in you Lord
why should we worry, or ever be dismayed?
If we give you our heart and soul,
You've promised to guide us, all along life's way.

In You, we are made complete and whole
there is no other, on whom we can depend
For every problem, you have the answer,
You will always be our dearest friend.

Our life is founded on the solid rock
in your words, we trust and believe,
Because we trust in you, O Lord,
Your blessings, we freely receive.

Our leaf shall not whither, nor shall it fade,
for you are the Living Water of our soul,
Your plans for our lives shall prosper,
As to your loving hand, we forever choose to hold.

Blessings In Christ,

~TRUE PEACE~

The peace of God passes our understanding,
as we lean upon the arms of the Lord,
His power will carry us, as in Him we stand,
walking through this life to our final reward.

There is no other friend, who is like our God
He is King of all Kings and our Savior,
There is no other who can save, heal, and deliver,
He keeps his children, in his divine love and favor.

Rest in Him and lay down your heavy burdens,
Daily, you can trust in his amazing grace,
He will carry you as you hold to His hand,
Jesus will guide you safely, to the end of life's race.

We Are All The Same Kind

Standing in Wal-mart, at the check-out line,
... The Lady in front, was having a hard time,
Nervous and upset, as her card was declined,
Was that my thought, "She's not MY KIND"????

Then a small voice said, "The poor will always be,"
"And as You do to my brethren, You do unto me!"
Then without hesitation, I paid for her stuff,
She seemed so grateful, couldn't thank me enough!

I tell this story, and even though it is true,
It's really about Jesus, and what He can do!
He gives us free choice, for decisions we make,
Then He forgives us, if we make a mistake!

But we must be repentant, for forgiveness of sin,
HIS BLOOD ON THE CROSS means everything then!
So Thank You, Lord JESUS, for influencing my mind,
And now I know that dear lady is truly my kind!!!!

I ask Your forgiveness, for committing that sin,
I am truly repentant, and it won't happen again!
YOU taught about Charity, and in your teaching I FIND,
THAT CHRISTIANS, IN JESUS, ARE ALL THE SAME KIND.
