Like the beauty of the sunrise,

Like the glory of the sunset,

Like the softness of the breeze,

Within the gently swaying trees,

Like the laughing, bubbling brook,

Like a glistening dewdrop on a red, red rose,

Like the sweetness of the tui's song,

Like the still, quiet peace of a blue mountain lake,

Like the tall, stately majesty of a high soaring mountain,

Like the joy that springs from a sweet-tasting fountain,

Such is the love, the comfort and peace,

and the glorious release,

That comes from our Saviour, Counsellor and Priest.

'Tis only from Him and Him alone,

That we'll receive total rest,

and the security of Home.

So my dear friend, when you next feel alone and broken, and in pain,

Look to hyour Saviour, Counsellor and Friend,

For He is waiting dear one, to take all your pain

And all your sorrow too,

All your sadness and all your cares,

To carry them far, far away,

And to lift your precious Spirit up high once again.

So put your trust in Him,

Lay your burdens at His feet,

Let Him cause you to soar in the highest of heights,

Far above all tha would strive to hold you down,

Be as the eagle, dear friend,

Who refuses to let the fury of the storm keep him low,

But chooses instead,

To allow that fury to take him higher and higher,

Until he is cruising high above that storm,

Enjoying the freedom of being carried along

By the strength of the wind,

So yo will sense and experience, dear one,

The power and the presence of His precious Spirit,

Lifting you, leading you on,

Carrying you closer, yet ever closer, to that place

Where your spirit and His become as One.

All That You Need

Do you hear the Saviour's voice?

Calling, calling to you.

Do you hear His sweet voice?

Through the deep darkness of your soul.

Do you sense a faraway peace?

As you take time to stop and listen.

Do you long to know that love?

That precious love,

You can feel in His tender voice.

Then my precious one,

Let Him into your chaotic, peaceless life,

Let Him bring order,

Let Him bring love,

Let Him bring an unending peace,

That in this world you will never find.

Let Him fill that empty place

With His wonderful, loving Spirit,

For my friend He is the only One

Who can give you satisfaction

           Healing,

              Wholeness,

                    Never-ending joy,

A heart so full of love

             and life,

               Of happiness,

                    Fullness,

                       And peace.

A reason for living,

An everlasting hope,

All that you need.

Again I say, dear friend,

Let Him be your All in All,

Your ever-loving Friend.

He will never forsake you,

He is ever near to you.

As I look at the things that have been happening in the world of late I can't help thinking about what Jesus said before He left this earth to go back toHis Father in heaven.  He was talking about the signs that would show us that His second coming to this earth was near, even at the door.

Over the past few weeks we have witnessed two earthquakes in China and a devastating cyclone in Burma. Millions of people have been killed and homes and livlihoods have been destroyed.  True many miracles have taken place as well, where people who had been buried for days have been found alive and we thank God for those. The world has also seen tsunamis, terrible floods, devastating accidents in many parts of the world. These are all signs that Jesus will be back very soon. 

Israel is a key country to watch. There have been so many efforts to try and bring peace to the Middle East, all have failed. Only Jesus will be able to do that. As time goes on the focus of the world will be more and more in that area.

Is it time for Christians and non-Christians alike to stop and look at what they are doing with their lives? Are we living for the Lord? Are our lives bringing glory to Him, or are we living for ourselves, doing what pleases us?

Are we living in the centre of His purposes for us or not?  These are important questions that we need to ask ourselves, as time is very short. There is not enough time left for us to just do our own thing.  God has a reason and a purpose for every person on this earth and I believe it is important that we find it. Do we know where we stand in the sight of God and how He will see us when we stand before His Judgement Throne?

These are just a few thoughts to think about.

What Will You Do With Jesus Who is Called 'The Christ.'

Hey World!

Halt! Stop! and Listen!,

Open your ears and hear!,

The cry goes forth!

The question is asked.......

What will you do with Jesus, who is called 'The Christ'?

He stands at the door,

Between time and eternity,

How will you respond?

Which road will you take?

You stand at the crossroads,

Be'twixt Life and Death,

What will you do, with Jesus, who is called 'The Christ'?

Time draws to an end,

Eternity begins,

Where will you stand when time ends and Eternity begins,

What will you do, with Jesus, who is called 'The Christ'?

His call has gone out, His voice has been heard,

Time to stop and think,

What will you do with Jesus, who is called 'The Christ'?

Down through the corridors of time,

Echoes the call, one more time,

What will you do, wth Jesus, who is called 'The Christ'?

The echo slowly dies,

The door finally closes,

Time ends,

Eternity begins,

What did you do with Jesus, who is called

'The Christ'?

Taken from Matt.27:22.
