  • We look for the city whose builder and maker is God, yet in the meantime we do see Him by faith.

  • @quest4god@revelife - "I believe; help Thou mine unbelief."

    1. Oh, for a faith that will not shrink
    Tho' pressed by many a foe;
    That will not tremble on the brink
    Of poverty or woe;

    2. That will not murmur nor complain
    Beneath the chast'ning rod,
    But in the hour of grief or pain
    Can lean upon its God;

    3. A faith that shines more bright and clear
    When tempests rage without;
    That, when in danger, knows no fear,
    In darkness feels no doubt;

    4. That bears unmoved the world's dread frown
    Nor heeds its scornful smile;
    That sin's wild ocean cannot drown
    Nor Satan's arts beguile;

    5. A faith that keeps the narrow way
    Till life's last spark is fled
    And with a pure and heavenly ray
    Lights up the dying bed.

    6. Lord give us such a faith as this;
    And then, whate'er may come,
    We'll taste e'en now the hallowed bliss
    Of an eternal home.

    (William H. Bathhurst, 1796-1877)

  • The Father will not withhold any good thing from those He loves:

    'Tis done; the great transaction's done;
    I am my Lord's, and he is mine:

    Forever!

  • @quest4god@revelife - Amen. So long as He gives me HIMSELF, that is MORE than enough!

    Psalm 37:

    18  The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever. 19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. (KJV)

    18  The LORD knows the days of the blameless,
    and their heritage will remain forever;
    19  they are not put to shame in evil times;
    in the days of famine they have abundance. (ESV)

  • @naphtali_deer - I'm right there with you on that comment!    Actually, His desire to give of Himself - and to receive us FOR Himself is wonderfully stated in the relationship of the Godhead.   I love to read and reread John 17.   There, we see the love of the Son for His Father and vice-versa as love - true love - manifests itself.

    Yes, our redeemed soul pants after Him and desires Him above all else.  Nothing else can come close to satisfying.   Our flesh, however, is not wanting to die so that we can truly live....Jesus is the answer to that dilemma!   He wants us to see His glory!

About me...

Christian hedonist in training. Pressing on to know more and more of the joy of the LORD. Pleading with God to rend the heavens and revive and refresh my own soul, as well as His Church, to His praise, honor and glory.

Thank God. He can make men and women in middle life sing again with a joy that has been chastened by a memory of their past failures. ~ Alan Redpath
