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

Steps and Drifters

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit ~ Paul (Galatians 5:22-23) The Christian's calling is a simple one- to come (Matthew 11:28), to follow (Luke 9:23), to keep in step (Galatians 5:23) with the Holy Spirit. Simple, not easy (Matthew 19:23-24) but with God, it is possible (Matthew 19:26).

I had been drifting and was doing so for months, until God chastised me, and showed me the danger of drifting ,  twice . So when God opens your eyes to the state of your spiritual walk, if you had been drifting like I was, thank Him for opening your eyes to see where you are. Not everyone gets another chance. Hebrews 6:19 reminds us of the anchor for our soul. Hold on ...

Shadows at Christmas

Felicitations! It’s Christmas! Photos by FeyVored Every year, I look forward to spending this time with loved ones, sharing happy moments, and laughing at  “Uncle Jokes" on Christmas. This season is filled with acts of service for the helpless, giving to the homeless, sharing what we have with the less-privileged, charitable deeds everywhere- isn’t that what Christmas is all about? What does Christmas mean to you? Christ is the reason to celebrate Christmas. His birth marks a pivotal point in history: the coming of a saviour who will take away all our sins and give us His life, reconciling us to God. Every Christmas, you and I should be reminded of this. Away in a manger, on a silent night, in a small town of Bethlehem, He was born as no ordinary child but He Himself being the Son of God and in fact, God-incarnate, God in flesh. If Christmas to you is about thrills and wonder, what is more enthralling than the glory of Christ? If Christmas to you is ...
