June 30 - Unfailing Love

Bible Verse: Psalm 13:5 New Living Translation (NLT) "But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me."

Prayer: "Lord, I thank You and praise You for Your faithful and unfailing love.  You alone are the One I can trust to never let me down, never disappoint me, and never leave me.  "In spite of who I am, You love and heal my soul." You don't care where I've been or what I've done, for You died on the cross to offer me total forgiveness. You don't care what I look like, for I am Your child. You only care that I find You and accept Your free gift of grace and salvation. Thank You Lord for loving me so unconditionally with a love that NEVER fails! AMEN."

Full Lyrics Below

Unfailing love flows from His heart and heals my soul.

In spite of who I am, He loves and makes me whole.

I almost can't believe it's true -- unfailing love,

And yet I know . . .

He gave His life to give to me

Unfailing love.

(x2)

 

If the highest mountains turned to ashes,

If the mighty rivers should run dry,

Should sun and moon grow dim,

I still will trust in Him.

He's watching from above.

I'm resting in His love.

 

Unfailing love flows from His heart and heals my soul.

In spite of who I am, He loves and makes me whole.

I almost can't believe it's true -- unfailing love,

And yet I know . . .

He gave His life to give to me

Unfailing love.

 

(instrumental)

 

I almost can't believe it's true -- unfailing love,

And yet I know . . .

He gave His life to give to me

Unfailing love.

 

Unfailing Love.

June 29 - The Only Commandments That Matter!

Bible Verse: "Matthew 22:37-40 New King James Version (NKJV) "Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.' "

Prayer: "Dear Jesus, Thank You for reminding us that being a Christian doesn't have to be a super complicated thing.  We are to love You with everything we have and everything we are and we are to love those around us as much as we care about ourselves.  That means we need to care about ourselves before we can care about others. Lord, help us to realize that we are valuable because we are Your children. Then, once we have established a healthy amount of self-esteem, Lord, lead us to love those around is in the same way that You have loved us -- unconditionally. Thank you Lord, for making it so clear to us what you expect from us.  You are truly an awesome God! AMEN."

(Lyrics below)

 

I feel the touch of hands so kind and tender,
They're leading me in paths that I must trod;
I have no fear when Jesus walks beside me,
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.

So let the storms rage high, the dark clouds rise,
They won't worry me for I'm sheltered safe within the arms of God;
He walks with me and naught of Earth shall harm me,
For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.

Soon I shall hear the call from Heaven's portals,
Come home my child, it's the last mile you must trod;
I'll fall asleep and wake in God's new Heaven,
Sheltered safe within the arms of God.

So let the storms rage high, the dark clouds rise,
They won't worry me for I'm sheltered safe within the arms of God;
He walks with me and naught of Earth shall harm me,
 For I'm sheltered in the arms of God.

 

For I'm sheltered in the arms of God!
