How precious is your unfailing love,

O God! All humanity finds shelter

in the shadow of your wings.

A heaven unto me!

(Thomas Brooks, "Heaven on Earth" 1667)

That knowledge which accompanies salvation, is a
heart-affecting knowledge. It affects the heart
with Christ, and all spiritual things. Oh, it does
wonderfully endear Christ and the things of Christ
to the soul.

"Oh, feed me with Your love--Your 'raisins' and Your
'apples'--for I am utterly lovesick!" Song 2:5 "Oh,"
says the spouse, "my heart is taken with Christ, it is
ravished with His love; my soul is burning, my soul is
beating towards Christ. Oh, none but Christ, none but
Christ! I cannot live in myself, I cannot live in my duties,
I cannot live in external privileges, I cannot live in
outward mercies; I can live only in Christ, who is . . .
my life,
my love,
my joy,
my crown,
my all in all.
Oh, the more I come to know Him . . .
in His natures,
in His names,
in His offices,
in His discoveries,
in His visits,
in His beauties,
the more I find my heart and affections to prize
Christ, to run after Christ, to be affected with
Christ, and to be wonderfully endeared to Christ!

Oh, God forbid that my heart should be affected
or taken with anything in comparison with Christ.
The more I know Him, the more I love Him;
the more I know Him, the more I desire Him;
the more I know Him, the more my heart is knit unto Him.
His beauty is captivating,
His love is ravishing,
His goodness is attracting,
His manifestations are enticing,
His person is enamoring,
His lovely looks please me,
His pleasant voice delights me,
His precious Spirit comforts me,
His holy word rules me;
All these things make Christ to be a heaven unto me!
Oh, but all that mere notional knowledge, that speculative
knowledge, which leaves a man short of salvation--never
affects the heart; it never draws it, it never endears the
heart to Christ, or to the precious things of Christ. Hence
it is that such men, under all their notions, under all their
light and knowledge, have . . .
no affection to Christ,
no delight in Christ,
no workings of heart after Christ.

"If anyone does not love the Lord, that person is cursed."
1 Corinthians 16:22

Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love?

Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity?

....I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love.

Romans 8:35.38

This is real love. It is not that we loved God,

but that he loved us and sent

his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

1 John 4:10

Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.

Worship the LORD with gladness;
come before him with joyful songs.

Know that the LORD is God.
It is he, who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the LORD is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Psalms 100

May you experience the love of Christ. . . .

Then you will be filled with the fullness of life

and power that comes from God.

Luke 15:20

While he was still a long distance away,

his father saw him coming.

Filled with love and compassion,

he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.

THE BATTLE

by Janet Rose Martin

In my darkest hour
When everything's at its worst
That's when I must remember
To always put God first.

So I call upon my Father
So that I am not alone
For I cannot fight the enemy
In any way on my own.

The battle is not mine to fight
So I call upon my Defender
Knowing He is on my side
I can let myself surrender.

Satan is no match for Christ
He will surely be defeated
And Christ will be the victor
When the battle is,completed.

For now, the battle's over
And the Lord has won the fight
Allowing me to carry on
Through His courage and His might.
