We Are Priviledged

‎"Instead of comparing our lot with that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of the great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged." - Helen Keller

Transformed

‎"To be transformed into the character of Christ, we must know His character, love His obedience to the will of the Father, and begin, step by step, day by day to walk the same pathway" ~Elisabeth Elliot

I Have a Shelter - Sovereign Grace

I have a shelter in the storm


When troubles pour upon me

Though fears are rising like a flood

My soul can rest securely

O Jesus, I will hide in You

My place of peace and solace

No trial is deeper than Your love

That comforts all my sorrows



I have a shelter in the storm

When all my sins accuse me

Though justice charges me with guilt

Your grace will not refuse me

O Jesus, I will hide in You

Who bore my condemnation

I find my refuge in Your wounds

For there I find salvation



I have a shelter in the storm

When constant winds would break me

For in my weakness, I have learned

Your strength will not forsake me

O Jesus, I will hide in You

The One who bears my burdens

With faithful hands that cannot fail

You’ll bring me home to heaven

Regrets

"For of all the sad words of tongue or pen, The saddest are these: 'It might have been'." - John Greenleaf Whittier

The Love of God

Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made;




Were every stalk on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade.



To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry;



Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky.



O love of God, how rich and pure, how measureless and strong;



It shall for evermore endure, the Saints’ and Angels’ song.

Rest in His Arms

"God uses men who are weak and feeble enough to lean on him." - Hudson Taylor

Hold your head high

Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye. - Helen Keller
