MOMENT BY MOMENT...part 3

Moment by moment...days passed. Kathryn, many times went down to sit with Stephen. She held him and talked with him herself. Her love and bond grew.

I wonder what her conversations could have been.
Perhaps, as mine had been at one time…

“Lord…I speak to you because these people talk so much about you. You are so real to them. Can you be as real to me? The things they have shared with me…they are true…aren’t they?”

As time passed, she found that Stephen was becoming a very important part of her life. There was so much for her to think upon. So very much.

As we witness of God’s saving grace to the lost, we cannot possibly know the depths of the heart. Only God can. He alone, knows motives and will.

Shall not God search this out? For he knoweth the secrets of the heart. Psalm 44:21

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23

I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. Jeremiah 17:10

And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:13

I thank the LORD that he enables us to be his spokes people. To testify of all he has done and will do for those who love him, trust him and live for him. Oh the wonders of it all…the peace and comfort of his care.

We prayed daily for Kathryn’s salvation.

~~Deby said...: I LOVED these verses,indeed the Lord knows our heart and my prayer is Create in me a clean heart....
IT is a work that is in progress as I yield, read the Word and stay focused and in prayer, I do fail.
I am so thankful for God's grace and forgiveness.

HOPE said...: Truly Deby...a continual work each day that blesses us more and more as we DO yield! Many people rob themselves of the peace and joy they can know if they will just WALK with HIM.

Yes, Pam...when we can look past ourselves..God can use us..as he has you and your sweet desire to do small things that amount to BIG things for GOD. Like feeding a mulitude with patience and the RIGHT HEART! ((hugs)); April 5, 2008 at 7:57 AM

My Bible

Though the cover is worn,
and the pages are torn,
and though places bear traces of tears.
Yet more precious than gold,
is this Book worn and old,
that can shatter and scatter my fears.
When I prayerfully look,
in this precious old Book,
many treasures and pleasures I see;
many tokens of love,
from the Father above;
Who is nearest and dearest to me.
This old Book is a guide,
'tis a friend by my side;
it will lighten and brighten my way.
And with each promise I find,
it soothes and gladdens my mind,
as I read it and head it today.
To this Book will I cling,
of it's worth will I sing;
Though great losses and crosses be mine.
For I cannot despair,
though surrounded by care,
While possessing this blessing divine.
Annon.

The KING JAMES Bible

This Book...reveals the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers.

It's doctrines are holy, it's precepts binding, it's histories are true and it's decisions are immutable.

Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy.

It contains light to direct you, food to sustain you, and comfort to cheer you.

It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword, and the Christian's charter. Here, too, heaven is opened and the gates of hell disclosed.

Jesus Christ is the grand subject, our good it's design, and the glory of God, it's end.

It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet.

Read it slowly, frequently, prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure.

It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgment, and be remembered forever!

It involves highest responsibility, will reward willing labours, and condemn all who trifle with it's sacred contents.

Owned, it is riches, studied, it is wisdom, trusted, it is salvation, loved, it is character and obeyed it is power.
