My Small World

I live in a very small world. 
I feel safe in this world.

My life is with a man of God, 
my precious Beloved. 

Where he is, I feel safe.

When I venture out into 
the world of people- 
I realise how safe I live,
and I am thankful.

When the world catches me 
by surprise, I cringe.
I know what real life is,
but I easily forget.

Today, I was out in the real world,
and it reminded me 
of how hard and rude the world is.

The world is mean and cruel, 
gross and icky, 
hateful and deceitful,
evil and wretched...
full, full of lost people.

They do not think of being lost,
but they are.
They are missing the One Thing
I have.

My Beloved and I have 
a great Salvation.
It is in the LORD God Almighty.
The One in the Bible.
The Bible is His Word 
given to us to learn 
and to know Him. 
It is the Truth.
There is no other Truth.

The LORD says to seek Him 
and you will find Him.
*
...“Ask, and it will be given to you; 
seek, and you will find; 
knock, and it will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives, 
and he who seeks finds, 
and to him who knocks it will be opened."...

I believe in faithfulness
I believe in giving to myself for someone else
I believe in peace and love
I believe in honesty and trust but it's not enough
For all that I believe may never change the way it is
Unless I believe Jesus lives


Where there is faith
There is a voice calling, "keep walking"
You're not alone in this world
Where there is faith
There is a peace like a child sleeping
Hope everlasting in He who is able to
Bear every Burden, to heal every hurt in my heart
It is a wonderful, powerful place
Where there is faith

There's a man across the sea
Never heard the sound of freedom ring
Only in his dreams
There's a lady dressed in black
In a motorcade of cadillacs
Daddy's not coming back
Our hearts begin to fall
And our stability grows weak
But Jesus meets our needs if only we believe


Where there is faith
There is a voice calling, "keep walking"
You're not alone in this world
Where there is faith
There is a peace like a child sleeping
Hope everlasting in He who is able to
Bear every Burden, to heal every hurt in my heart
It is a wonderful, powerful place
Where there is faith

Jill,
Such wonderful encouragement for living every day. We don’t know what a day will bring forth, but we know Who holds all our moments in His sure, capable hands. A Christian walks through life with a security that nothing comes without it first being sifted through our Lord’s strong, loving hands. He holds us securely and will not let go! May you and Glenn live peacefully in His care! And nothing compares with the assurance of knowing Jesus as healer and protector! Blessings!
