Did Christ o’er sinners weepAnd shall our cheeks be dry?Let floods of penitential griefBurst forth from every eye. The Son of God in tearsThe wondering angels see!Be thou astonished, O my soul;He shed those tears for thee. He wept that we might weep,Each sin demands a tear.In heaven alone no sin is found,And there’s noContinue reading “Hymn – Benjamin Beddome Did Christ over sinners weep? 1787”

Made to be conformed to his Image
I am often told how much my daughter looks like me. She, however, is a third of my height and a sixth of my weight. She has long hair; I have short hair. She doesn’t have a beard, and I do. She is a girl, and I am a man. Yet, though we are veryContinue reading “Made to be conformed to his Image”
Discerning God’s Will
In our Sunday school class, we have been discussing the will of God and how we can discern it. In class we have talked about the known will of God, but here I want to discuss the unknown will of God. What I mean by that is that God tells us things that are hisContinue reading “Discerning God’s Will”
Numb
In the world that we live in, it seems that everyone is afraid of getting sick. Diseases can be scary. Some kill a person fast, and some take a long time. Some don’t kill at all, but make a person miserable. Some can be cured very easily, and some have no known cure. Sometimes peopleContinue reading “Numb”
The wheel of the potter
People are distinct from other living creatures in many ways. one such way is that we are given a soul. A part of the soul is what we express as a will. We have this thing inside of us that allows us to make our own choices. Animals don’t really have this ability. No oneContinue reading “The wheel of the potter”

Sometimes we think we know how God should use us, but things don’t work out that way. Like the young man who had a heart for God, intelligent, handsome,Continue reading “An unlikely vessel”

Poem ~ Amy Carmichael, Surprising Love
How often, Lord, our grateful eyes Have seen what Thou hast done; How often does Thy love surprise From dawn to set of sun.How often has a gracious rain On Thine inheritance When it was weary, wrought again An inward radiance.

An eternal vessel
A finite vessel cannot enjoy the richness of an inexhaustible fountain, though it may be filled time and time again it can never hold more than its design allows. So to can our corruptible flesh never enjoy the fullness of our incorruptible inheritance until our mortal self puts on immortality. Death is not the endContinue reading “An eternal vessel”
Poetry ~ Amy Carmichael, Love through me
Love through me, Love of God; Make me like thy clear airThrough which, unhindered, colors passAs though it were not there.
