My faith looks up to thee


The words below from this popular hymn resonated with me. Timeless and true, see the full hymn here.
May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart, my zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee,
Pure warm, and changeless be, a living fire!
While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread, be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day, wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray from Thee aside. 
~ "My Faith Looks Up To Thee", written by Ray Palmer, 1830.
May our faith keep trusting in God's sovereign grace. Amen

It seems to me that there is so much advice out there about how to live life. When presented as a collection of punchy phrases they seem a contradictory bunch, don’t they? The truth is I don’t think anyone really knows the formula to live a happy life. Really, how could we know when we are all having our first go at this? As a lady in her 20s, it’s not unusual that I spend a lot of time trying to figure out what I must do...

Another gentle reminder

Dear Reader, Read Genesis 35 v 3: Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone. ” "...God,  who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone. ” God is faithful to His promise. He will never leave nor forsake those who trust in Him. Love, FeyVored
