Extracts from a wanderer.

[crystabee]

When the work is done...

When His work is done

I'll be fully whole

God's work in me will be finished

And Christ will be fully mine.

[crystabee]

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

Ephesians 6:10‭-‬20 ESV

[crystabee]

Faithfulness springs up from the ground,

and righteousness looks down from the sky.

Psalm 85:11

[crystabee]

11 Never let the fire in your heart go out. Keep it alive. Serve the Lord. 12 When you hope, be joyful. When you suffer, be patient. When you pray, be faithful. 13 Share with God's people who are in need. Welcome others into your homes.

Romans 12:11-13

[crystabee]

Reflecting on what I have already received.... I’ve found this. 

He is the beginning and the end. The first and the last.....

Just no words.

[crystabee]

“How I love the great Redeemer Who is doing so much for me; With what joy I tell the story Of the love that makes men free. Till my earthly life is ended, I will send songs above, Then beside the crystal sea More and more my soul shall be Praising Jesus and His love.”

- Francis Foster

Found an unusually sung verse of the hymn When Peace Like A River by Horatio G. Spafford,

“For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live: If Jordan above me shall roll, No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.”
