No Power can Separate from Christ

No Power can Separate from Christ
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Romans 8:35
. How precious in time of need is the assurance of union with Jesus! ... We can say. "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation?"—No, for this makes us feel that Christ alone is our refuge, and we flee to Him for shelter. "Or distress?"—No, for He is our consolation. "Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort: who comforteth us in all our tribulation...." 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4
. "Or persecution?"—No; "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for their’s is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:10
.... "Or famine?"—No, for we have God’s promise,... "In famine he shall redeem thee from death." Job 5:20. "... In the days of famine they shall be satisfied." Psalm 37:19. In fleeing unto Jesus we shall be fully satisfied. "Or nakedness?"—Hear the voice of Jesus saying, "Buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear." Revelation 3:18.... "He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment." Revelation 3:5.... "Or peril?"—No; Paul knew by experience what it was to be in peril.... "In perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren." 2 Corinthians 11:26
. "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee." 2 Corinthians 12:9.... "Or sword?" ... The sword cannot kill the soul, for the life is hid with Christ in God. Well may we ask with Paul, "Who shall separate us from the love of God?" And answer, "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38, 39
. HOPE & PRAY YOU WERE BLESSED *

The Lighthouse

The Lighthouse There's a Lighthouse on the hillside And it over looks life's sea When I'm tossed don't you know, It sends out a light A light that I might see And the light that shines in darkness now Will someday safely lead me home I know If it wasn't for that old Lighthouse I know my ship would sail no more Everybody that lives around us Well they all say, tear it down They say the big ship why they don't sail by this way anymore It just aint no use to it standing around Then my mind goes way out back to that stormy night Just in time I saw the light Don't you know it was the light, that old Lighthouse It still stands there on the hill And I thank God for the Lighthouse I owe my life to Him For Jesus is the Lighthouse And from the rocks of sin He has shown His light around me That I could clearly see If it wasn't for the Lighthouse (tell me) Where would this ship be? And I thank God for the Lighthouse I owe my ...

God Is With Me !

God Is With Me! Let me tell you something of my friend, And as I do, perhaps all of you will recognize The value of my prize. For all my worldly wealth, My physical and mental health, In storm or weather fair Depends upon His care. I've learned each day, to choose the way, To loose my fears, And though troubles press, With sore distress upon my soul, I know somehow that He is with me now And will be through the passing years. Yes - He is with me Even though in thought I've often caught myself So far away from Him- And even though I sometimes join the race- Away from his Amazing Grace, I always turn around to find He's there, Behind my fleeing foot, To put His hand upon my heart To draw me back To live with Him - Apart. He is with me, Especially when my other friends misunderstand The methods that I use, Or when they refuse to see That He and I are friends, Working silently to make 'not' brake the strongholds of the faith.
