("How To Receive Christ")
-- Hebrews 10:19-25 =
+ [Jesus] 19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, His body,
21 And since we have a Great High Priest over the house of God,
/ + [Salvation] 22 Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water.
/ + [Faith-Hope] 23 Let us hold unswervingly to the Hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.
/ + [Love] 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
/ + [Fellowship] 25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another -- and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Tomorrow's A Brand New Day =
/
Sometimes it's hard to accept /
the many disappointment in life we face /
But we have to believe there's some reason /
and hold onto the Lords Grace. /
/
For what seems to be so unfair /
and so difficult for us to understand /
Is just a small piece of the puzzle /
of our life that God has planned. /
/
And as each door will close /
they say a window will open its eyes /
and life will bring about changes /
and with each new day - a surprise! /
/
So believe in all of Gods love /
and know it surrounds you every day /
with courage and strength you will make it through. /
for tomorrow's a Brand New Day!! /

-- 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 =
[Love, Grace, Hope] 16 May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who loved us and by His grace gave us eternal encouragement and good Hope,
17 encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.
You Are Loved =
/
May God reach down /
& love you /
in His own special way. /
/
May you know /
you're loved, /
each & every day. /
/
May you see, /
from God's dear eyes, /
the value of your worth. /
/
May His love show you /
the most precious things /
on this earth. /

-- Titus 3:4-7 =
[Jesus Christ, Holy Spirit, Salvation, Grace, Renewal, Hope] /
4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,
5 He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
6 whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 So that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs having the Hope of eternal life.
Guardian Angel / /
(The Holy Spirit) =
/
At times when I am feeling sad /
And think that no one cares, /
I feel the vibrations of your wings /
And know that you are here. /
/
I then feel your tender touch /
As you enfold me with His Love. /
A yearning prayer has come to earth, /
Sent down from Father above. /
/
I can never deny Your presence. /
You fill my heart with song. /
All sad thoughts simply disappear, /
Knowing that I am not alone. /
/
You loan me strength when I give out. /
And You raise my courage up. /
I can face my troubles head-on /
Mortal thanks is not enough. /
/
I will live each day I have /
In humbleness and in prayer. /
With heartfelt words I'll write /
And with all others, share. /

-- John 14:14-18; 26-27 =
+ [Prayer] 14 You may ask Me for anything in My name, and I will do it.
/ + [Holy Spirit] 15 If you love Me, you will obey what I command.
16 And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counselor to be with you forever --
17 The Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives with you and will be in you.
18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
/ ++ 26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.
/ + [Peace] 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Clouds =
/
Clouds in the clear blue sky /
Look how high they all fly /
They look so frail and magical /
Some can actually touch your soul /
/
Suddenly the sky is no more /
Like a big garden of fluff /
The whimsical magical clouds /
Look really menacing and tough /
/
While the wind is moaning /
The Thunder is booming /
Lightning is flashing /
Dark clouds are arising /
/
Dark clouds surround you /
You are feeling blue /
But wait just a moment /
The sun will shine through /
/
As the clearing sky returns /
To its Brilliant blue /
Look very carefully /
Angels are smiling at you /

-- Psalms 42:11 =
[Hope] - Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me?
Put your Hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.
-- Psalms 62:5-7 =
[Salvation, Hope, Rest] 5 Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my Hope comes from Him.
6 He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.
7 My salvation and my honor depend on God; He is my mighty rock, my refuge.
-- Psalms 130:5-6 =
[Word - Hope] 5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in His Word I put my Hope.
6 My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.
WHISPERING HOPE =
/
Soft as the voice of an angel, /
Breathing a lesson unheard, /
Hope with a gentle persuasion /
Whispers her comforting word: /
Wait till the darkness is over, /
Wait till the tempest is done, /
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow, /
After the shower is gone. /
/
Refrain: /
Whispering Hope, oh how welcome your voice, /
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice. /
/
If, in the dusk of the twilight, /
Dim be the region afar, /
Will not the deepening darkness /
Brighten the glimmering star? /
Then when the night is upon us, /
Why should the heart sink away? /
When the dark midnight is over, /
Watch for the breaking of day. /
Refrain >> /
/
Hope, as an anchor so steadfast, /
Rends the dark veil for the soul, /
Whither the Master has entered, /
Robbing the grave of its goal. /
Come then, O come, glad fruition, /
Come to my sad weary heart; /
Come, O Thou blest Hope of glory, /
Never, O never depart. /
Refrain >> /

--- Hebrews 6:19-20 =
[Jesus, Hope] 19 We have this Hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,
20 where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf. He has become a High Priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek
(King of righteousness, King of Salem, He is the type of a Priest who lives for ever...) .
-- Psalms 33:18-21 =
[God, Love, Hope, Rejoice] 18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear Him, On those who Hope in His mercy (unfailing love),
19 To deliver their soul from death, And to keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name.
JESUS, MY STRENGTH, MY HOPE =
/
Jesus, my Strength, my Hope, /
On You I cast my care, /
With humble confidence look up, /
And know You heard my prayer. /
Give me on You to wait /
Till I can all things do; /
On You, almighty to create, /
Almighty to renew. /
/
I want a sober mind, /
A self-renouncing will, /
That tramples down and casts behind /
The baits of pleasing ill; /
A soul inured to pain, /
To hardship, grief, and loss, /
Bold to take up, firm to sustain /
The consecrated cross. /
/
I want a godly fear, /
A quick discerning eye /
That looks to You when sin is near /
And sees the tempter fly; /
A spirit still prepared /
And armed with jealous care, /
Forever standing on its guard /
And watching unto prayer. /
/
I want a heart to pray, /
To pray and never cease, /
Never to murmur at Your stay, /
Or wish my sufferings less. /
This blessing, above all, /
Always to pray, I want, /
Out of the deep on You to call, /
And never, never faint. /
/
I want a true regard, /
A single, steady aim, /
Unmoved by threat’ning or reward /
To You and Your great Name. /
A jealous, just concern /
For Your immortal praise; /
A pure desire that all may learn /
And glorify Your grace. /
/
I rest upon Your Word; /
The promise is for me; /
My comfort and salvation, Lord, /
Shall surely come from You. /
But let me still abide, /
Nor from my Hope remove, /
Till You my patient spirit guide /
Into Your perfect love. /
/
I want with all my heart /
Your pleasure to fulfill, /
To know myself, and what Your art, /
And what Your perfect will. /
I want I know not what, /
I want my wants to see, /
I want -- alas! what want I not, /
When Your art not in me? /
/

-- 1 John 5:14 =
[Prayer] - This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
-- 1 John 1:9 =
[Forgiveness] - If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
-- Psalms 103:1-13 =
[Praise God: Love, Grace, Forgiveness, Redemption, Hope] /
1 Praise the LORD, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name.
2 Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: -
3 Who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life (soul) from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 Who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
7 He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel:
8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse, nor will He harbor His anger forever;
10 He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear Him;
12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.
-- Isaiah 40:28-31 =
[God] 28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom.
/ [Strength] 29 He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
/ [Hope, Renewal] ++ 31 But those who Hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
--- 1 Peter 5:6-11 =
[Submission] 6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time.
/ [Care] +++ 7 Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.
/ [Devil] 8 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.
/ [Spiritual Warfare] 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that other believers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
/ [God, Help] 10 And the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
/ [Praise] 11 To Him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
--- Romans 5:1-5 =
[Justification, Peace] 1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
/ [Faith, Grace, Hope] 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the Hope of the glory of God.
/ [Spiritual Training] 3 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance;
4 perseverance, character; and character, Hope.
/ [Love, Hope] 5 And Hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
-- Romans 8:1-2, 24-28 =
+ [Salvation] 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
/
+ [Hope] 24 For in this Hope we were saved. But Hope that is seen is no Hope at all. Who Hopes for what he already has?
25 But if we Hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.
/ + [Holy Spirit, Prayer] 26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.
27 And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God’s will.
/
+ [God's Will] 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.
