Faith And Assurance ~
Faith and assurance,
go hand in hand . . .
you can’t just have one
if your hope is to stand.
For faith without sureness,
is like a boat with a hole
allowing fear and doubt
to sink into your soul.
Assurance and Faith,
go side by side . .
you can’t just have one
if you want to abide.
For assurance without trust,
is like a bird without a nest
keeping us from finding
God’s true peace and rest.
Faith and assurance,
fit just like a glove
for they’re both a gift
from heaven above!
~~~~~~
“Let us draw near with
a true heart in full
assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled
from an evil conscience,
and our bodies washed
with pure water.”

A Word of Encouragement ~
A word of encouragement,
everyone needs to hear . . .
words that will help dissolve
away another person’s fear.
Words that bring comfort,
to hearts that are frayed
words that will soothe
the ones that are afraid.
Words that will mend,
the effects of sin and pain
words that will bring hope
into someone’s life again.
Words that are restoring,
offering aid and relief
words that help to repair
another’s faith and belief.
Words that are healing,
oozing truth like a balm
words that bring about
an everlasting calm.
A word of encouragement,
we all need to hear one
so today won’t you please . . .
encourage just someone!

“Wherefore comfort yourselves together,
and edify one another, even as also ye do.”

A Quiet Heart ~
A quiet heart is one,
soaked in confidence
for God’sย mighty power
has in it dominance.
A quiet heart is one,
having nothing to fear
for it knows God’s promise
isย to always be near.
A quiet heart is one,
steeped in eternal peace
for the faith that it holds
brings it constant release.
A quiet heart is one,
standing calmly still
for it knows to seek daily
God’s mostย perfectย will.
A quiet heart is one,
immersed in assurance
for it knows the race . . .
is won on endurance.

“For thus saith the Lord God,
the Holy One of Israel;
In returning and rest shall
ye be saved; in quietness and
in confidence shall be your
strength: and ye would not.”
