Even by the sea shore!

 As I was walking alone the sea shore upon the sandy beach, with the tide coming up covering my feet then back down again, I couldn't help but think about how great and awesome God is!!
And was it the most beautifulest day and such a awesome setting! :)
  A little earlier when I was looking for different kind of shells, I came upon a piece of a shell that was shaped into a heart.  I then bent down and picked it up, thinking, "Even in a piece of a broken shell, God shows His never felling love for each and everyone of us!!"  I likened that piece of shell to a human......at one time that piece of shell was a part of a whole beautiful shell, but now it's broken.  So with a human, they think they are complete, but then the Lord reveals Himself to them and they see really how incomplete and sinful they are.  They are then broken upon the Mighty Rock, Jesus Christ, and in their broken, sinful, helpless state, God plants His ever spring of love in their hearts! Though they are now broken, they are whole in Christ and His love!
  Even in the shells of the sea, God reveals His wonderful love!!
So the next time you're feeling like God doesn't care, that you're two sinful and wicked for Him to love you, remember what Christ did for us, how the Father gave up His Son for us, and behold the things in nature, you'll find thousands of things that testify of His love and watch care for you!!  He even shows it in a broken piece of shell on the sandy beach!

Continue leaning on the Mighty Rock,
             In His joy,

We are helpless without Christ!

 "While we realize our helpless condition without Christ, we are not to yield to discouragement, but rely upon the merits of a crucified and risen Saviour. Look and live. Jesus has pledged His word; He will save all who come unto Him. Though millions who need to be healed will reject His offered mercy, not one who trusts in His merits will be left to perish." PP 432.1


 "The very trials that task our faith most severely and make it seem that God has forsaken us, are to lead us closer to Christ, that we may lay all our burdens at His feet and experience the peace which He will give us in exchange."
PP. Page. 129

This I Know!

I do not know what next may come,
Across my pilgrim way,
I do not know tomorrow's road,
Nor see beyond today,
But this I know- My Saviour knows
The path I cannot see,
And I can trust His wounded hand
To guide and care for me!

I do not know what may befall
Of sunshine or of rain,
I do not know what may be mine
Of pleasure and of pain;
But this I know- My Saviour knows
And whatso'ev it be,
Still I can trust in His love to give
What will be best for me!

I do not know what may await,
Or what the morrow brings,
But with the glad salute of faith
I hail it's opening wings!
For This I know- that in my Lord
Shall all my needs be met,
And I can trust the heart of His
Who has not failed me yet!!
