Do not be afraid...

Just think, you're not here by chance, but by God's choosing. His hand formed you and made you the person you are. He compares you to no one else - you are one of a kind. You lack nothing that His grace can't give you. He has allowed you to be here at this time in history to fulfill His special purpose for this generation. ~ Roy Lessin

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

Lord, I have averted my eyes, I have looked away from your face; I yearn for the things of this earth although I know that none satisfies me. I never will learn, will I? But Lord, I give thanks that you steered this tumultuous day towards calm waters. Thank you for listening as our tears poured forth, as our hearts are broken, laying them bare at your feet.

Tonight, we have both experienced sadness but also gladness, and we now are calm with the peace that can only be from You.
