You Are Wonderful, Oh Lord

You made the raging storm calm—
Oh, how powerful are Your words, Oh Lord!
You fed the 4,000 with loaves and fishes—
Oh God, without a doubt, You are our greatest Provider!

You healed the paralytic,
You opened the eyes of the blind,
With just three words, You raised the dead to life again—
You truly are our greatest Healer!

Who can believe such things?
Who can understand all that has happened?
Truly no one, unless You lavish faith upon us,
And by Your grace, faith has been given to us.

You are wonderful, Oh Lord!
Your majesty is beyond our comprehension!
You are wonderful, Oh Lord!
Your love for us is beyond our perception!

My friend, I see you!

My friend, I see you!

Stop earning your salvation by works;
You can never have it that way (Eph. 2:8-9, Rom. 11:5-6).
Trust and believe in the finished work of Christ.
Don't nullify His grace; let Him redeem your past! (Eph. 1:7)

My friend, I see you!

You are washed in the blood of Christ (1 John 1:7).
You are not doomed to repeat the sins of your youth (2 Cor. 5:17, Isa. 43:18).
You are not unlovable (Isa. 43:4).
You are not unforgivable! (1 John 1:9).
God is holding your tears in a bottle (Ps. 56:8).
The Lord has compassion on you! (Isa. 54:7-8)

My friend, I see you!

Though sins have defiled you (Eze. 14:11),
The work of Christ's redemption will eventually be seen in you and not in your past sins (Eph. 4:13-16).
Your heart will find rest with His (Matt. 11:28).
Christ is enough (Rom. 11:36).
Take your eyes off your earthly or mundane matters
And fix them on His righteousness! (2 Pet. 1:3-4)

My friend, I see you!

My friend, look at Him!

"He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities:
The chastisement of our peace was upon Him,
And with His stripes, we are healed."
(Isa. 53:5)

Silent Farewell

One by one, the five stars fell, A breath, a beat—then all was still. No warning came, no time to stay, Just silence where they once lay. A ...
