A Way of Life
Sincere Christianity involves faith and belief -- but it is not merely a set of beliefs. It is not casually joining a church or being born into a Christian home. It is not something to be practiced one day a week or at odd intervals. It is a way of life.
That way of life is Christ. All that we do is in remembrance of Him. All that we say is heard by Him and all that we feel is felt by Him. He is our restful sleep, our fulfilled desire, our joy, our everything. Without Him we are alone with no one to care for us, no one to protect us, no one to improve us, or bring us home. He is the light of our day -- He is the glow of our nights. He is the beauty of our souls and the darling of our hearts. He is our way of life.
The Cities Cry
EVERY DAY
I knelt on the roof of the city tower
And prayed to the Father above
That all those walking down below
Would come to know of His precious love.
I thanked Him for His goodness
I thanked Him for His grace
And as I pondered there with Him
A yearning grew to touch His face.
Then the cities cry spilled upward
And my prayers begin to soar
For all who walk in darkness
Toward death's vast open door.
