FATHER, SON & HOLY SPIRIT
(The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit ... One God, in three persons.)
THE FATHER chose you before the foundation of the world; He provides for you, corrects you, and will bring you to His own home where the many mansions are.
THE SON took away all your sins by His sacrifice, and adorned you with His perfect righteousness. He is your intercessor, to present your prayers and desires before the Father's throne; He will be your advocate at that last great day -- to plead your cause, and to justify you.
THE HOLY SPIRIT has already begun to save you from your inbred sins -- He will drive all of them out. He will curb your temper, subdue your will, enlighten your understanding, check your passions, comfort any despondency, help your weaknesses, and completely illuminate (bring to light) all darkness in you. He dwells in you as your life, to sanctify you wholly -- spirit, soul and body. One day, it is He who will lift your spirit from that body and take you up to dwell with the Lord for ever.
HONOR HIM!
Love gives wings to the feet of service, and strength to the arms of labor. Fixed on God with a constancy that is not to be shaken, resolute to honor Him with a determination that is not to be turned aside, and pressing on with a spirit never to be wearied, let yourself manifest the love of Jesus Christ!
(Despair not in loving the Lord Jesus with a love as strong as death, for He deserves it and you desire -- it in each moment of life, yes each moment of breath.
GOD'S LOVE
God is love. This truth is written upon every opening bud, and upon every spire of springing grass. The little birds making the air vocal with their happy songs, the delicately tinted flowers in their perfection perfuming the air, the lofty trees of the forest with their rich foliage of living green -- all testify to the tender, fatherly care of our God and to His desire to bring happiness and beauty into our lives.
WORKS OF POETRY
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!
The love of Jesus is stronger than the most terrible death, For it endured the trial of the cross triumphantly. It was a lingering death, but love survived the torment; A miserable death, but love despised the misery.
'Tis a desperate duel, yes love and death; What then my heart? What then His grace?
O' Lord, Let us pant and yearn to feel Thy flaming love, As a furnace burning deep within; Come Thou Thyself and lift our spirit ... Into the beauty of Thy holiness.
MOSES AMONG THE BULRUSHES
This child was to grow up strong And be free to choose as he would The mother-to-be was so-o-o happy But little did she know, and neither could She understand the plan of soon salvation God's will to save His people, you know -- From her own land, yes, Pharaoh's own hand, ...'twas from a burning bush He declared it so.
WORTHY, WORTHY!
Worthy, worthy, O' Lamb of God Who was and is forevermore. Behold Thy children coming forth ... Through the open portals of heaven's door.
WORTHY, WORTHY, O' LAMB OF GOD.
