BE ENCOURAGED

March 25, 1986 - 8:30-8:45 a.m.

Be encouraged, for the storms of life will pass.
It is well known that the dark night leads to day,
And life's raging seas with calm as clear as glass,
Will reflect the brilliant sun's sweet healing ray.

God intended that the trials of life should come
To enrich us with the lessons we must learn
To prepare us for our great eternal home
At our Lovely Lord and Savior's sure return.

Be encouraged then in this life's little while
Heaven gazes down upon us through it all
And the saints who passed before with knowing smile
In excitement, with us, wait the trumpet's call.

Rather labor through your sorrows filled with praise
For exceeding joy that nevermore will cease
Is complete in Him who measures all our days
Who alone gives life and joy and strength and peace.

C. R. Lord
For God has not given us the
spirit of fear, but of power and
of love and of a sound mind. 

11 Timothy 1:7

He has promised, "I will never
leave you or forsake you.  With
the creator and sustainer of the
universe watching over us we
have nothing to fear anymore!
 
Do we believe it?
Will we believe it?

All God's promises are true and
none of them will ever fail! 

C. R. Lord
