I Will Follow

Yes Lord
But I''m so confused Lord
How do I know
Where you want me to go?

The still small voice
Calling me to Your perfect choice.
I listen to the world's noise
So many men, women, girls and boys

How will I know when it is You
Though you are so good to call and woo?
I know by Your Holy Word
Though the world tells me it's absurd

The Bible-God's promises to me
Beautiful, like rainbow, flower, and tree
Your promises are true
So You plan and I will follow through.

By Janel Gustafson

Come

I heard Him call “Come follow"
That was all.
My gold grew dime, my soul went after Him.
Who would not follow
If they heard Him call?

Becoming English

Yesterday around 11:00 I made the realization that I was hungry. And thought to myself Why is it that we only have three meals a day? So I made a decision: I should have been born in the UK. No, I do not have any English blood in me (that I know of) and no I do not laugh out loud at every drop of British “humor” that I hear. It is simply that I have a great fondness for my afternoon tea...and my elevensees and my evening meal after all little heads are laying on soft pillows. I have an appreciation for tea but more importantly I have a soft place in my heart for eating often. I believe that gluttony is a sin with many consequences, however a few biscuits and a cup of tea can do wonders for lifting the mood and stimulating the imagination. Even better than becoming an English woman I believe I should become a hobbit. “Yes, but what about second breakfast?.... and luncheon? Afternoon tea?.....”(Pippin, Lord of the Rings Trilogy) Yes, I believe the transformation will soon begin. I'll become a hobbit, so don't be surprised if you see my feet growing callused and harry and my stature decreasing.

That Which Does Not Change

God's Word

I paused last eve beside the blacksmith's door
And heard the anvil ring, the vesper's chime
And looking in I saw upon the floor
Old hammers, worn with beating years of time
“How many anvils have you had” said I
“To wear and batter all these hammers so?”
“Just one,” he answered, then with twinkling eye;
“The anvil wears the hammers out you know”
And so, I thought, the anvil of God's Word
For ages skeptics blows have beat upon,
But though the noise of falling blows was heard
The anvil is unchanged;the hammers gone
John Clifford 1836-1923

God's Unchanging Word

For feelings come and feelings go,
And feelings are deceiving
My warrant is the word of God
Naught else is worth believing
Though all my hear should feel condemned
For want of some sweet token
There is One greater than my heart
Whose word cannot be broken
I'll trust in God's unchanging word
Till soul and body ever;
For, though all things shall pass away,
His Word shall stand forever.

Martin Luther 1483-1546

Question

This is a question I have been thinking about. I thought I would share it. It is:
What am I doing to make Christ Jesus known to those around me?
It has really been making me think about the things I say to the people in my classes at school and every where else I go. Will the people I see ever know that I love Jesus? They need to. They need Him. I need to tell them.
How about you. What are you doing to make Christ Jesus known to those around you? Will the people around you know that you love Jesus?
