EASTER IS COMING!

Easter is soon here! What a blessed day. Through it, we gain life as we repent and give ourselves to him! Praise to his name!

A GREAT DEEP CHASM

In me is a great deep chasm,
darkness showing only death.
In it lives no God of glory,
only that which is of earth.

But the God of all creation
looked on earth, then he chose me.
out of love he touched my heart,
saved me and he set me free.

Someday soon that blessed Savior
comes again to take me home,
taking out the sin and evil
causing me from him to roam.

Filling up the great deep cavern
with his life and righteousness,
I will ever in his presence,
praise him for his holiness.

Sacrifice of thanks

One of my favorite verses from Scripture is Psalm 50:23 NIV:

“He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way that I may show him the salvation of God.”

I may not feel like saying thanks, of offering my thank offerings, but if I am willing to make that my sacrifice to God, He will honor me. Giving that sacrifice of thanks makes me more aware of the blessings He has given me, which are many. It brings an awareness that I can trust Him, and patience to wait for Him.

More than once when I have done that, I find peace and joy way ahead of the answer to my prayer.
