The trials and challenges may come thick and fast.
But having faith and trusting in my Redeemer - I must.
Because the help and deliverance that I need
Only He can provide.
Whatever it may be with me,
Be with me, Lord.

How Deep Our Father's Love
This song has powerful lyrics that never fail to move my heart to ponder upon God's compassionate and unconditional love. I pray that I will daily live this life worthy of His name and His call. Praise God for this precious promise: We are indeed more than conquerors through Him who loved us (Romans 8:37).
How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

19.1.10
Is what you are living for worth Christ dying for?
For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
