THE BEST BOOK OF ALL

Cling to the Bible, though all else be taken;

Lose not its promises precious and sure;

Souls that are sleeping, its echoes awaken,

Drink from the fountain, so peaceful, so pure.

Lamp for the feet that in byways have wandered,

Guide for the youth that would otherwise fall;

Hope for the sinner whose best days are squandered,

Staff for the aged, and best Book of all.

M. J. Smith

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, 

a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, 

rightly dividing the word of truth.

2 Timothy 2:15

I want to share  a couple cards I have made:

Have a great week and thanks for visiting.

HOW JESUS SAW ME

The years had left scars.  The scars had left pain.

How could He love me, I wasn’t the same.

I knew I should pay, and I knew the price

For justice and law demanded my life.

But His tender heart, heard my desperate cry

And saw my past through His merciful eyes.

Though I was broken and so very lost

Jesus looked past my sin and my faults.

The justice of God saw what I had done

But mercy was granted through His precious Son.

Not what I was, but what I could be

That is how Jesus saw me.

Wherever you’ve gone, you can’t go too far

That His eyes of mercy can’t see where you are.

He loves you too much, to leave you alone.

His arms of mercy can reach where you’ve gone.

And His heart cries out, to your heart today

See yourself through His eyes, then you will say.

“Sin has ruined my future and stolen my soul

But through Jesus’ blood, I am made whole.

Though I was broken and lost and undone

Mercy was given through the death of His Son.”

Not what I was, but what I could be

That’s how Jesus saw me.

The justice of God sees what you have been,

And justice is waiting for you for your sin.

Your life can be changed and that sentence be gone

For by Jesus’ shed blood the victory’s been won.

Come to Him for mercy, His arms open wide

Are longing to hold you, that’s why He died.

He sees you and loves you and cares about you

He offers His mercy today to you too.

Not what I was, but what I could be

That’s how Jesus saw me.

Have A Blessed Easter

THE LOVE OF GOD

The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
And pardoned from his sin.

Refrain:
Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure—
The saints’ and angels’ song.

When hoary time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When men who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call,
God’s love so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—
The saints’ and angels’ song.

Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade;
To write the love of God above
Would drain the ocean dry;
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.

Frederick Lehman

For God so loved the world, that he gave

his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth

in him should not perish, but have

everlasting life. For God sent not his Son

 into the world to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him might be saved.

John  3:16 

Because of God's love for mankind, 

He sent His Son, Jesus, 

to be the sacrificial lamb

offered for our sins.  

It is only because of His 

death and resurrection that 

we are able to become 

the Children of God.

The two most wonderful

days of the year are

Christmas and Easter.

Christmas when He came 

to earth as a baby and

Easter when He arose from the grave.
