~FLAME OF FAITH~
 
 
 
*William A Ward said,  "If the room of your life is filled with the
darkness 
of despair, it need not remain so. You have the power to kindle the flame

of faith, to light a candle of hope, to turn on the lamp of love, to pull
back the 
curtains of fear, to raise the windows of doubt, to unlock the doors of
defeat, 
and to step out into the street of service."
 
In all our lives, we have been given the power to choose light over
darkness, and life instead of death.  The choices we make will determine
our eternal destiny.   Many times there may seem to be clouds of doubt
where one cannot seem to see the light of day.  Behind every cloud,
we find Jesus and know He is just a heartbeat away.  When we need
His help, He is an ever present help in time of need.
 
Without faith, it is impossible to please the Lord.   When we walk by
faith,
doubt does not have a chance in our lives.   Fears have to leave when
faith is present.   When we let Jesus be Lord of our lives, we know that
all things are possible with God.  We cannot stand on our own without the
help of the Lord, but with His power, we have all we need to live a
victorious
life.  
 
Jesus will light up our lives and fan the flame of faith within our
hearts.  His love will carry us through as we lean on Him and not
to our understanding.  It's so good to know that when we acknowledge
Him in all our ways, He will direct our path.  With the Lord leading the
way, we have no reason to fear or falter.  His light will shine brightly
that we may follow on by faith and reach our destination safely.
When Jesus is Lord of our life, we will never walk alone.  We have
wonderful promises to claim in the name of Jesus.  Keep walking
on in His strength and power.
 
Blessings In Christ,

~THE FLAME WITHIN~
 
Within every heart, 
there is a flame of faith
which must keep burning brightly
 all along life's narrow way.
 
When we trust and never doubt, 
the Lord will surely bring us out,
Jesus will safely guide us 
as we trust in Him and pray.
 
The flame within can burn brightly
if we will only believe,
As we fan the flame,
God's promises we shall receive.
 
God's Word is a lamp shining brightly
to guide our feet on right paths,
It is a light in the darkness night,
To keep us from sin and wrath.
 
So keep the candle burning
and clouds of doubt will soon disappear,
Never fear what tomorrow may hold,
As our God is always near.
 
Blessings In Christ,

QUOTES AND ONE-LINERS
 
Decide to stick with love.  Hate is too great a burden to bear.
 
He who laughs, lasts.
 
The difference between stumbling blocks and stepping
 stones is the way a man uses them.
 
Where fear is present, wisdom cannot be.
 
When I despair, I remember that  all though history, 
the way of truth and love has always won.
 
What God does, He does well.
