I peered behind the curtained veil I held my breath to peek On He, Whose heart had captured mine With glorious mystique. I’d known Him since my childhood. He to my spirit came Upon my invitation And cleared my heart of blame. With childlike faith of simple trust His gospel I believed. Yet entered not into my soul All for …
He is Our Hope
Mark and I have been helping his 82-year-old dad some as he prepares to move from the home where he has lived for almost 50 years. I’ve been clinging onto these verses for my strength, and turning each one into a prayer. Maybe you need to claim these promises as well. “Not by night, not by power, but …
