Loneliness 

People are lonely. It's not supposed to be that way. Why does it happen? While working as a nurse in home care, I met a lot of people who suffered from loneliness. Some of them were seniors. Some were young people. My heart went out to them. Loneliness comes to each of us at different times and for different reasons. At times, as a result of broken relationships. Sometimes its because of the choices we've made. Sometimes because of the choices of others. No matter the reason, I would like to share with you of One who will never leave you or forsake you if you will come to Him. He is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. He promises to seal you with His Holy Spirit upon believing, and prepare a place for you after this life is over. (Bible references: Hebrews 13:5; Proverbs 18:24; Ephesians 1:13; John 14:1-3) The words in the following song speak of this One. His name is Jesus. They speak of His amazing love! The love that led Him to leave Heaven, and come to earth as our Saviour. The love that led Him to take our sin punishment on the cross. The love whereby He who knew no sin became sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (Philippians 2:5-11;  2 Corinthians 5:21) The love that caused Him to defeat death and rise again, so that all who believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting life! (1 Corinthians 15:3, 4; John 3:16)  For this I am eternally grateful!

"You Are My King"
I'm forgiven because you were forsaken
I'm accepted, You were condemned
I'm alive and well
Your spirit is within me
Because you died and rose again

Amazing love, how can it be?
That you, my king, would die for me
Amazing love, I know it's true
Its my joy to honor you
Amazing love how can it be?
That you my king would die for me
Amazing love I know it's true
Its my joy to honor you
In all I do
I honor you

I'm forgiven because you were forsaken
I'm accepted, you were condemned
I'm alive and well
Your spirit is within me
Because you died and rose again

You are my king
You are my king
Jesus, You are my king
Jesus, You are my king

Amazing love, how can it be?
That you, my king, would die for me
Amazing love, I know it's true
Its my joy to honor you
Amazing love, how can it be?
That you, my king would die for me
Amazing love I know it's true
Its my joy to honor you
In all I do I honor you
In all I do honor you

Are you looking for the light?

Image
Psalms 119:130; The entrance of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple. John 8:12; Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” 1 John 1:5; This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:7; But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

Choices

Image
In a world of darkness, I choose the light.  In a world of evil, I choose the good.  In times of sorrow, I choose joy.  When Satan deceives me, I choose the truth. When fears arise, I choose the Father’s peace. When religion knocks at my door, I choose a relationship with my Creator, through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus on the cross for the forgiveness of my sin. When doubts arise, I choose to believe.  What or whom do you choose today?  “Today, if you will hear His (Jesus) voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” -Hebrews 3:7, 8
