HE IS

HE IS
My Savior
My Lord and God
The Alpha and the Omega
He is the First and He is the Last
He is my Rock, my refuge and strength
He is my Mediator and Advocate with the Father
He is full of Grace, Truth, love for me so deep and wide
He cares for me and holds me in the palm of His hand
He feeds me in the wilderness and does not forsake me
He watches over me in the night for he does not sleep
He gives me joy in Him that is my strength to face today
He is the one who runs to me when I have strayed
He is the One who shed His blood to save this wretch
He is the Good Shepherd of Psalms 23, oh yes!
He gives good gifts like friends like you and Soph
He is the lifter of my head and rejoices over-
me with singing, and I will praise Him forever
He is the only way to the Father and-
He is the only Door to Salvation
He walks with me and talks with
me and tells me I am His Own
He is Emmanuel
He is God with us
He is LIGHT
So Bright
to guide
in the
night

Unknown said...: That was beautiful. Did you write it? I'm not sure how I stumbled on your page while surfing through blogger today, but I work with a JW and I've never figured out how to approach her on the subject of faith.; December 18, 2007 at 1:54 PM
Laurie said...: Yes, I wrote it. Feel free to copy it out and to cut it out as a real ornament for your tree.
On approaching your friend, well, patience is the key, praying for an opening to talk to her, and to ask questions too, as she will then feel obligated to help you understand more.
You can plant seeds this way of doubt in her organization, and seeds of faith in Christ alone.
Our Bibles tell us Jesus is the way, truth and life, so focus on who Jesus is and what He accomplished on the cross.
I post on the CARM boards quite frequently. There is a link to CARM on here, and it has a message board in which there is a section devoted to Jehovah Witness Theology.
If you wanted to understand it better, that would be a good way to go, to listen in on discussions between Christians and JW's.
This lovely woman up in the corner here is one of our precious posters who is a dear sister and friend. You can listen to her speak on UTube there, she goes under the name Flowerchild. Do feel free to print off anything you may feel would be of help to you.; December 18, 2007 at 3:25 PM

Urgent Prayer Requests-PLEASE PRAY

A dear friend I post with on CARM has CREST Syndrome which was diagnosed about 10 years ago. It is the systemic form. There are five diseases in this syndrome and if you have two of the five you have the syndrome. He has all five. Weird thing is, it mostly happens in women! There is no known cause nor is there is any cure for it. The blood vessels to his internal organs are dying, it has caused ulcers in his stomach, his esophagus is totally dead, it has caused hypertension, pernicious anemia, on and on I could go.

This friend is also a pastor who is a real encourager and a big blessing in my life, and the lives of so many.

Also, an update on Sophie, she needs alot of prayer for her liver. Pray for a good specialist to help her, that God would ease her pain, and also she would be able to get some sleep at night this precious friend of mine.

God has given me two very precious friends in my life here, and I know God has something very precious prepared for them in Glory [John 14]

Do I trust you Lord

Do I Trust You Lord - Twila Paris
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MV1ZY7AWNdY
Do I Trust Sometimes my little heart can't understand What's in Your will,
what's in Your plan.
So many times I'm tempted to ask You why, But I can never forget it for long.
Lord, what You do could not be wrong.
So I believe You, even when I must cry.
Do I trust You, Lord?
Does the river flow?
Do I trust You, Lord?
Does the north wind blow?
You can see my heart,
You can read my mind,
And You got to know
That I would rather die
Than to lose my faith
In the One I love.
Do I trust You, Lord?
Do I trust You?
I know the answers, I've given them all.
But suddenly now, I feel so small.
Shaken down to the cavity in my soul.
I know the doctrine and theology, But right now they don't mean much to me.
This time there's only one thing I've got to know.
Do I trust You, Lord? Does the robin sing?
Do I trust You, Lord? Does it rain in spring? You can see my heart, You can read my mind, And You got to know That I would rather die Than to lose my faith In the One I love.
Do I trust You, Lord? Do I trust You?

I will trust You, Lord, when I don't know why.
I will trust You, Lord, till the day I die.
I will trust You, Lord, when I'm blind with pain! You were God before, and You'll never change.
I will trust You. I will trust You. I will trust You, Lord. I will trust You.

Encouragement

"The eagle of the Alps is sometimes beaten down by the tempest into the narrow defiles of the mountains. Storm clouds shut in this mighty bird of the forest, their dark masses separateing her from the sunny heights where she has made her home. Her efforts to escape seem fruitless. She dashes too and fro, beating the air with her strong wings, and waking the mountain echoes with her cries. At length, with a note of triumph, she darts upward, and peircing the clouds, is once more in the clear sunlight, with the darkness and tempest far beneath.
So we may be surrounded with difficulties, darkness, discouragement...falsehood, calamity, injustice shut us in. There are clouds that we cannot dispel. We battle with circumstances in vain. There is ONE, but one way of escape. The mists and fogs cling to the earth; beyond the clouds is God's Light shining. Into the sunlight of God's presence we may rise on the wings of faith."
