The Journey Within
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord,
plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future."
Jeremiah 29:11
As Christian believers
we may suffer tribulation and trouble
but does that mean the Lord leaves us alone?
We may become destitute, hungry and naked,
but does the Lord turn his back on His children?
NEVER will he leave us to demon attack.
We are on a mission, a journey t'wards home...
home to the Father. Our path may grow hazy;
but counsel, direction, encouragement from
God's Spirit brings joy to those who seek Him.
NEVER will the powers of hell win.
There's NOTHING that can separate us from God;
death, itself, is a welcome homecoming.
Life on earth may involve persecution
I guess that's what our Savior, Jesus meant -
Oppression in the midst of righteousness
drives you closer toward heaven's goalpost.
As a Christian believer,
if you discover the world is hating you
Remember: “it hated and rejected me first .”
