With Bible, journal and pen in hand, its a blessing to write the beautiful things The Lord whispers to your heart.
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Refrain:
Draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow’r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
Oh, the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!
There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.

GOD’S WONDERFUL PLAN OF SALVATION
~
**********
Acts 16:30-31
”Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
And they said,
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”

***
Romans 10:8-13
But what saith it?
The word is nigh thee,
even in thy mouth,
and in thy heart:
that is,
the word of faith, which we preach;
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth
the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in thine heart
that God hath raised Him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness;
and with the mouth confession is made unto
salvation.
For the scripture saith,
Whosoever
believeth on Him
shall not be ashamed.
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek:
for the same Lord over
ALL
is rich unto
ALL
that call upon Him.
For whosoever shall CALL upon the NAME of the Lord
SHALL BE SAVED.
*********
***
The plan of salvation is simple.
Believe that the Lord Jesus Christ,
died for your sins and rose again from the dead.
Ask Him to forgive you of your sins.
Invite Him into your heart to be the Savior of your soul.
