Anywhere With Jesus

Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go. Anywhere He leads me in this world below. Anywhere without Him dearest joys would fade. Anywhere with Jesus I am not afraid. Anywhere , anywhere... any little fear I'll never know. Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go.. Anywhere with Jesus I am not alone. Those are some of the words of Amy Grants song that I listened to today. We can go anywhere with Jesus and feel safe and secure, knowing that He has a plan for our lives. He loves us and in Jeremiah 29:11 He says, "I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. I am clinging to that hope at this time because the man I love with all my heart is suffering and I can do nothing to help relieve his pain, only the Lord can help. So, anywhere you want to take us Jesus we are ready to go. We rely on your strength and your comfort to pave the way. We trust in you and ask for your help and guidance at this difficult time of our lives. Bill this is for you, I love you more today than when we were married 18 years ago and I'll continue to love you forever My love. Turn you eyes upon Jesus!!

Daily Study

I was reading one of my daily devotionals today (Daily Bread) and at the end there was a thought for the day. Bible study is not merely to inform us-it's meant to transform us. Think about that for a minute, reading and studying your Bible should be more than just a learning tool, it should help us to become more Christlike, more Godly , more spiritual. Christ dwells in us and our lives and our attitudes should reflect the fact that He is the one who guides and directs our daily path. Do we do that? I know that I don't as much as I would like too. It is a constant struggle to keep Christ at the center of mine and Bill's life. We don't do a very good job at times, but we keep trying. I so desire to be that Acts 2:42 Christian. Acts 2:42 says,"And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking bread, and in prayers." "The Word of Christ should dwell in us richly." Col.3:16
