No more sadness, no more tears, no more darkness, no more fears.
I'm going to meet my savior, my brother and my friend.
I'm going to live forever, my joys will never end!

Lord, I'm coming home,
Lord, I'm coming home,
You have a place prepared for me, I'll dwell with you eternally,
Sit by the gates of glory, cause Lord I'm coming home...

It's time for me to take my rest, from life's unending race
I'm thankful that you took the time to bless me with your grace
You gave me time to understand your mercy and your love,
I now it's time for me to dwell with you above,

I'm coming home, Lord...

Father Forgive Them

Having finished my bible study, there were points in our lessons that we talked about regarding the state of the world...how none of this was God's plan for mankind. 

Death, anger, fear, disease, poverty, lonliness, dispair, regret, lying, war, greed, lust, hedonism, having no hope...the world is in need of a savior.  Jesus Christ alone offers forgiveness.  My heart, during those lessons, were heavy with these cries:

Father, forgive them...for they do not know what they do.

Father, forgive us...for we do not what we know to do.

Father, forgive me...for I know what I must do, and do it not.

Father, give strength!...to do what needs to be done!

Father, give favor!...to reach those who know not your love!

Father, give time!...for there are so many more who may believe...

Father, send peace...

...grace,

send the latter rain...

 

Love God? Who me?

...this is love...

Some writers use the word charity to describe not only Christian love between human beings, but also God's love for man and man's love for God. About the second of these two, people are often worried. They are told they ought to love God. They cannot find any such feeling in themselves. What are they to do?

The answer is the same as before. Act as if you did. Do not sit trying to manufacture feelings. Ask yourself, 'If I were sure that I loved God, what would I do?' When you have found the answer, go and do it.

Got Humility?

Do not imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call 'humble' nowadays: he will not be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who is always telling you that, of course, he is nobody. Probably all you will think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him it will be because you feel a little envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He will not be thinking about humility: he will not be thinking about himself at all.

If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realise that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you are not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed.
