Mar.23.01: Light For The Day - "I'm Blessed To Know You" -- Jeremiah 17:7 (RSV) "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,  whose trust is the LORD." -------------------------- "I'm Blessed To Know You" When my world was closing in, and my troubles never seemed to cease. The only form of comfort I had, were the tears I cried to you. You kept me calm and stable,  reminding me of your awesome love. Lord, you held me by the hand, never letting go. Tough problems are always there, I am truly blessed. Blessed to know you, blessed to love you,  Blessed to be in your everlasting arms. Lord I pray, that each day I live,  I'll live for you. Letting the world know who I claim,  Forever giving glory to your name. -- Tinsae Alemayehu ------------------- -- James 1:12 (RSV) "Blessed is the man who endures trial,  for when he has stood the test he will receive  the crown of life which God has promised to  those who love him." -- Ephesians 1:11-14 (NLT) "Because of Christ, we have received an inheritance  from God, for he chose us from the beginning,  and all things happen just as he decided long ago.  12 God’s purpose was that we who were the first  to trust in Christ should praise our glorious God.  13 And now you also have heard the truth,  the Good News that God saves you. And when  you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own  by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised  long ago.  14The Spirit is God’s guarantee that he will give us  everything he promised and that he has purchased  us to be his own people. This is just one more  reason for us to praise our glorious God."
