You are the hand that catches my fall
You are the friend that answers my call
You are my day; You are my night
You are my love, and all of my life
-Always Forever, Phil Wickham
I love this song because it is so true. Jesus really is all that matters; our most constant friend, and the love that will continue through eternity.
James tells us that faith without works is dead. The Old Testament prophets brought the Lord's word, crying that He desired our hearts and our service. It's not about the works, it's about the heart that brings those works. Jesus said that if we love Him, if we are His friends, we will obey His commands.
Being grateful for the cross is not enough. Affection for God is not enough. We are called to love- and love means stepping outside our comfort zones. It means breaking long-standing habits that you know are inhibiting your service to Christ. It means taking the opportunities to talk to the broken.
It means giving up our lives. There is something greater than any hobby or interest; Someone greater than any friend or family member, who deserves all of our love and attention.
love Him. serve Him. always forever.
"We know that everyone who has been born of God does not keep on sinning, but he who was born of God protects him, and the evil one does not touch him. We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. he is the true God and eternal life. Little children, keep yourselves from idols."
1 John 5:18-21
"Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,
'Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
the Almighty reigns.
Let us rejoice and exult
and give him the glory,
for the marriage of teh Lamb has come,
and His Bride has made herself ready;
it was granted her to clothe herself
with fine linen, bright and pure'--
for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints. and teh angel said to me, 'Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to teh marriage supper of the Lamb.' And he said to me, 'These are the true words of God.
'"
Revelation 19:6-9
You are the friend that answers my call
You are my day; You are my night
You are my love, and all of my life
