ANOTHER YEAR IS DAWNING

(Frances R. Hevergal / Samuel S. Wesley)


Another year is dawning!
Dear Father let it be,
in working or in waiting
another year with Thee.
Another year is leaning
up on Thy loving breast.
Another year of trusting
of quiet happy rest


Another year of mercies
of faithfulness and grace.
Another year of gladness
in the shining of Thy face.
Another year of progress,
another year of praise.
Another year of proving
Thy presence all the days.


Another year of service
of witness for Thy love.
Another year of training
for holier work above.
Another year is dawning!
Dear Father let it be,
On earth or else in heaven,
another year for Thee.

AT ANY COST

by Chris Cross on Sunday, 16 October 2011 at 12:03


"Perhaps some future day, Lord, Thy strong hand
Will lead me to the place where I must stand 
Utterly alone.

Alone, o Gracious Lover, but for Thee;
I shall be satisfied if I can see Jesus only.

I do not know Thy plan for years to come,
My spirit finds in Thee its perfect home,
Sufficiency.

Lord, all my desire is before Thee now,
Lead on, no matter where, no matter how -- 
I trust in Thee."
-- 'Loneliness' Elisabeth Elliot

When God asked me "Do You want My will, at any cost?"
Can I honestly answer the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth -- "Yes, Lord. At any cost"  ?

An Excerpt from "Decision Making By The Book"

by Chris Cross on Saturday, 24 September 2011 at 11:20



"Decision making can be very difficult....
 We're afraid of decisions; & we back away from them for 2 reasons :
 1) We're aware of the consequences
     ...uncertain that we can handle the regrets....
     It's difficult to choose the path when we do not like where it leads.
 2) We often face a decision with uncertain consequences (not knowing how things will turn out)....
     We're aware that each path will lead us in a different direction, but we can't be sure where.

Some people decide not to decide. 
But if we wait for a 20/20 vision of the future, we'll never decide.
We will stand immobilized at the point of decision,
& instead of making up our minds, circumstances will control our lives..."

Tough choices, tough decision.
Just endure the pain & be grateful for the moments that have passed.
