Believer

Born again to new life 
  because I believe Christ 
     bore my sins on the cross
        buried them in His death
           broke forth and rose again 
              became my Lord and King
                 beloved in my heart.

Oh dear, Laura. Thank you for letting your faith shine through your words. All you have written...beautiful and true. Great choice of words...great truth. We just received news yesterday that a friend passed away. He was in his early fifties. If it weren't for the hope we have in Jesus...and His victory over death...where would we be? We would mourn like those who have no hope. What a comfort it is to be a believer. Hugs, dear one...and blessings.
