Teach me Lord
Lord, help us to have a hungry heart
And long for the joys you will give,
If only we’ll spend quiet time with You,
In Your Book we’ll learn how to live.

Suffering may endure for a season,
And we wonder when relief will come.
Is this for a time of testing
A really deep trial for some?
When you’re troubled and worried and sick at heart
And your plans are upset, and your world falls apart,
Remember God’s ready and waiting to share
The burden you find too heavy to bear…
How does a loving mother, explain
Heaven to her dying child?
Please give me the words, O Lord, and
let me say them with a smile…
We have an eternal advocate with the Father through Christ Jesus.
When we have failed to distribute to the needs of orphans and widows who are part of the household of faith, it is God Who allows government to discipline us in giving our due.
Sometimes, our suffering and limitations seem like that eighteen-wheeler bearing down on us. Actually, however, that suffering can be a vehicle of our loving God, purging out of our lives the evil one who is determined to ruin us.
God’s love is transforming and pure. It is the kind of love that strips itself of its own rights, bends low and washes the feet of those who are to be served. This love, in honor, prefers others before self.
Mary had the little Lamb, who lived before His birth;
Self-existent Son of God, from Heaven He came to Earth.
Anyone who has ever lost patience and pulled an unripe apple off the tree knows firsthand the price of being too hasty. All things have been appointed a time to begin, a time to grow, and a time to be fruitful. This is an inescapable reality of our world, regardless of how inventive we get with altering our environments or distracting our minds.
