Who shall separate us from the love of Christ. Shall tribulation, or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword. As it is written, For they sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come Nor height nor depth nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8: 35-39 (AV) Dorothy

I am that I am. It reminds me to alway try to be myself, and allows me to not care how others see me.

To have Faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see. It was by their Faith that people of ancient times won God`s approval. Hebrews chpt.11 v 1-2.

Whosoever calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.. Romans 10 :13

I waited patiently for the Lord. And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth - Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the Lord. Psalm 40 v1-3 (new King James version).

That is one of my favourites as well Patricia, when I have any trouble in my life I remember those words. Regards Gwyn

This is one of my favourites: Do not be afraid, I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; When you walk through fire you shall not be burned,and the flame will not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour. Because you are precious in my eyes, Because you are honoured and I love you, Do not be afraid, for I am with you. from Isaiah 43

The Promise of the Holy Spirit. Whoever loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love him,and my Father and I will come to him and live with him. Whoever does not love me does not obey my teaching. And the teaching you have heard is not mine, but comes from the Father who sent me. I have told you this while I am still with you. The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,will teach you everything and make you remember all that I have told you. St John 14 v23- 25

Good Morning, :) have updated the first post for Saturday. Vonny

Fullness of Life in Christ. Since you have accepted Christ Jesus as Lord, live in union with Him. Keep your roots deep in Him, build your lives on Him, and become stronger in your faith,as you were taught. And be filled with thanksgiving. Colossians 2 v 6-7

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,'says the Lord. On the contrary: 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.' Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Psalm 94 v 17 - 19 'If the Lord had not been my help,my soul would soon have dwelt in the land of silence. When I thought 'my foot is slipping', your steadfast love O Lord, held me up. When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.' Vonny

My faith is in tatters at the moment Ester, I cannot find a reason for recent happenings, but I have taken your words as comfort. thanks

How Paul became an Apostle Let me tell you my brothers, that the gospel I preach is not of human origin. I did not receive it from any man,nor did anyone teach it to me. It was Jesus Christ himself who revealed it to me. Galations 1 v 11-12

Anne we had to learn that one too among others including: Make a joyful noise unto the Lord all ye lands Serve the Lord with gladness; come before his presence with singing. etc For the Lord is good: his mercy is everlasting and his truth endureth to all generations. Psalm 100 Praise the Lord Dorothy

'I have told you these things,so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.' John 16:33 Words of Jesus. Hetty
