The Stronger Love

All earthly love is as a thread of gold,
Most fair but what the touch of time may sever:
But His is a cable sure, of strength untold
O, His love, it lasteth ever!

And this great love he will on thee bestow
The fullness of his grace make known,
Earnest of glory grant thee here below
If thou wilt be his own!

Mal.3.6
Poems of the Way

     

 By night and day I weave for thee
A golden, gleaming net of prayer,
Its shining mark you may not see,
But it surrounds you everywhere.

God bless your peaceful sleep by night,
God guide your busy steps by day,
Keep faith within your head alight
In clouds and sunshine.
This I pray.

songs of the nightingale

Today I seem to understand
That pain and trial, grief and care,
Are chisels in an unseen Hand
That round us into statues fair.

Poems of Dawn

What, if we are Christ's,
Is earthly shame or loss?
Bright shall the crown of glory be
When we have born the cross.

Poems of Dawn

"Who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment." 1 Timothy 6.17
 Our Lord Jesus is ever giving, and does not for a solitary instant withdraw his hand.

He is a sun ever-shining: He is manna always falling round the camp; He is a rock in the desert, ever sending out streams of life from His smitten side; the rain of His grace is always dropping; the river of His bounty ever-flowing, and the wellspring of his love is constantly overflowing. Daily we pluck His fruit, and daily His branches bend down to our hand with a fresh store of mercy.

The Way to Peace, C.H. Spurgeon
