MY CHURCH
I love and appreciate my church for so many reasons. What a joy to be able to come together in one place to lift up the precious name of Jesus.
When I am tired in body and mind, I go to church to hear the words Jesus spoke "Come to me, and I will give you rest."
When I am weak, my church instructs me to put on the whole armour of God.
When I am sick, my church reminds me that by His stripes, I am healed.
When I am discouraged, my church gently turns me back to God's unfailing promises.
When I am lost and confused, my church tells of God's Word that says, "I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight." Isaiah 45:2
My church is where I go when I am hurting and need to remember that Jesus Christ is the Great Physician.
When I am afraid, my church leads me to those verses that repeat, "My child, Fear not!".
When I am in darkness, the church proclaims that Jesus is the Light of the World.
When I am lonely, my church declares that the Lord will never leave me nor forsake me.
When the enemy attacks me through guilt, my church quotes God's Word, "Your sins and iniquities will I remember no more".
When I am doubtful the answer will come, my church assures me that "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength". Isaiah 40:31
When I feel poor and unworthy, my church points to the the Great I AM, my strength and my salvation.
But most of all, my church is the house of the Lord.
