To Everything A Season

Ecclesiastes 3:1, 11

"To everything there is a season,

A time for every purpose under heaven."

"(God) has made everything beautiful in its time.

Also He has put eternity in their hearts,

except that no one can find out the work

that God does from beginning to end." (Verse 11)

TO EVERYTHING A SEASON

To everything a season

To everything a time

A time to keep, a time to lose,

You're in control, oh Christ.

A time for every season

A time for life, for death,

God gives a time for everything

Each moment is His gift.

Our life on earth is precious

A gift from God above

A gift of worship to Him,

A gift of grace and love.

To everything a season

In God's perfect plan

For the life He gave to us,

We're all in Jesus' hand.

He wove all our beginnings,

He knows just how we'll end,

Nothing can escape His eyes,

Our souls from Him are lent.

To everything a season,

To everything a time,

And over all our Lord above,

Creator Jesus Christ.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of our lives. Thank You that You are in control of all things and know what is good for us at all times, in every season of our lives. Thank You for the promise in Thy word that all things, no matter how they might appear at the moment, are working together for the good of those who love You.

Thank You for Thy love, so deep, so high, and so wide that no one can ever fathom it or come to the end of it. This love You have for each one of us is so great that, Lord Jesus, You said it was worth suffering the cruelest agony on the cross that we might become Your own.

Thank You for these precious gifts from Thy heart to us. We love You, Father God! We love You, precious Lord Jesus! In Thy name we pray, Amen.

My Child, Trust Me

My Child, Trust Me

My child, will you not trust Me

When Heaven won't make sense,

And let your heart come near Me

When you'd rather build a fence?

My child, will you not hear Me

In the stillness of your soul?

Do not misunderstand the pain;

I long to make you whole.

My heart is broken for you;

Yes, I can feel your pain;

Oh, I know all about you,

For I bore your sin and shame.

I am your forgiveness

And your eternal life;

I knock upon your inner door

To bring you hope and life.

I knock upon your inner door

To bring you faith and truth,

Know your soul is knit to Mine

And I will always love you.

Heavenly Father, please give us the grace to trust You with every challenge that comes to try our faith on our path in this life. May You fill our hearts with Thy holy peace that passes all understanding through every storm. May we trust in You, who knows the beginning and the ending of all things, that You are weaving every detail of our lives into something beautiful though it may not be readily apparent right now. Thank You, dear Lord, for Your immeasurable love towards each of us. Help each soul reading these words to feel Thy love in their hearts. In Jesus' holy name. Amen.

May He Restore Your Soul

"The truth told with evil intent is worse than all the lies."~ William Blake

My prayer today is for all God's precious children who have been hurt by those who have misused the truth to harm innocent souls through no fault of their own.

These precious individuals have suffered intensely at the hands of those who were agents of evil masquerading as angels of light.

Jesus called them "wolves in sheep's clothing." He also said, "You shall know them by their fruits."

Because of their unspeakable acts, their victims suffer lifelong emotional and often physical damage.

Luke wrote in His Gospel, "Jesus said to His followers, 'things will surely happen that will make people sin. But it will be very bad for anyone who makes this happen.

It will be very bad for anyone who makes one of these little children sin. It would be better for them to have a millstone tied around their neck and be drowned in the sea. So be careful.'" Luke 17:1-3 (ERV)

St. Mark wrote in his gospel that Jesus once said, "If someone causes one of the little ones who believe in me to lose faith, it would be better for that man if a huge millstone were tied around his neck and he were thrown into the sea." Mark 9:42 (TLB)

One day, the Bible promises that Jesus will wipe away every tear from every eye.

I pray for all the precious souls that have been hurt by those who have misused the truth with evil intentions.

May the Lord Jesus restore your soul. May He wrap you in His measureless love for you and cover your scars with the blood He shed for you on the cross. May you know that He shares your pain and suffering. May He wash it away, along with all your tears in the Mercy River, as you trust your heart to Him. In Jesus' Name.

Jesus Cherishes you and so do I. ~Suzanne ❤️

God Wants a Relationship Not Religion

Jesus prayed to His Heavenly Father on the Eve of His Crucifixion,

"Now this is eternal life: that they know You, the only true God,

and Jesus Christ, whom You have sent." ~John 17:3

Lord, fill me with Your Love today, Oh draw me close to You,

I long to know You more and more, Oh Holy God of Truth.

I long to walk close by Your side, like Enoch must have walked,

Walking with You every day~ no other god he sought.

Walking, ever walking, keeping stride with You,

Lord, let me walk like Enoch walked, in Spirit and in Truth.

Lord, fill me with Your light today, and let me know Thy voice,

Lord, let my heart not be deceived by those who are not Yours.

Lord, let me know Thy voice that I might not be led astray:

Lord, let me not be blind or deaf: oh help me watch and pray.

Lord, let me walk as Enoch walked in humble trust and faith;

Lord, draw me closer to Thy heart, and let me sing Thy praise.

Lord, let me ever sing to You for all You've given me,

For sacrificing all You were that I could be redeemed.

Lord, let me live to honor You, my life a song of praise,

A gift to You, Lord Jesus Christ, like Enoch all my days.

In Jesus' Name. Amen.
