"He Who Began a Good Work in You" by Steve Green

He Who began a good work in you
He Who began a good work in you
Will be faithful to complete it
He'll be faithful to complete it
He Who started the work
Will be faithful to complete it in you
If the struggle you're facing
Is slowly replacing your hope
With despair
Or the process is long
And you're losing your song
In the night
You can be sure that the Lord
Has His hand on you
Safe and secure
He will never abandon you
You are His treasure
And He finds His pleasure in you

"Being confident of this, that He Who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
~Phil. 1:6

This is a verse that Daddy and I have been focusing on together recently. Even though we may struggle with trusting the Lord in walking the road or going around the next bend, His desire is for us to live every moment of each day abiding in His purpose. We are called a new creation, chosen, set apart in Christ! Life takes on a whole different outlook when you dwell on the incredible knowledge of all that you truly are in Him!

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

~ Matthew 11:28-30

Thank you, Dearie! :)

Children of God

God sent His Son... that we might receive the full rights of sons. So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir. ~ Galatians 4:4,5,7

How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! ~ 1 John 3:1

God Moves in a Mysterious Way

God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea
And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs
And works His sovereign will.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy and shall break
In blessings on your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.

His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.

~ William Cowper

But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, put your hope in the Lord both now and forevermore.
~ Psalm 131:2,3

The Master is becoming my All. I am experiencing His great love anew! He is the Keeper of my heart, the Lover of my soul; I am His, and He is mine. Oh glory, joy, peace, and rest - I have found my place in the Father's loving embrace! Safe in the arms of my Lord, content to wait and be still, surrendered to His touch, my heart is quietly rejoicing, "Dear Shepherd, I want Thy will."
