prayer is power

I have never in my life prayed and not trusted that God knew what was best for me. With a drop of faith, my needs have always been met in due time. In my sorrow it was still easy to say "dear Savior, help me to grow in your grace----even when the tears are falling." And he did! When things go wrong in life (and they do, no problem) I assure myself, when trials beset me, I will remember His works of old and the great affliction and that His grace was sufficient for me! What more could I hope for? I don't see how anybody can go through life without Him. Believe me once you know Him, your life becomes anew. I have many testimonies that back up my claims. Want love, joy, peace of mind, patience, understanding, forgiveness, and so on, the gifts are numerous, ask Jesus into your hearts, be saved. I know without a doubt I am. Hallelujah!

don't grieve

I still like referring back to cards at funerals, they can serve as a last word coming from our departed loved ones. Don't grieve, is easier said than accomplished, at first.

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free. I'm following the path God laid for me, I took his hand when I heard him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day to laugh, to love, to work, to play. Tasks left undone must stay that way. I found that place at the close of day. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief. Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me. God wanted me now, he set me free.
