THE SPIRIT HIMSELF BEARS WITNESS WITH OUR SPIRIT
THAT WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD.
( ROMANS 8:16 *NKJV )

Indeed we are God's Children for; GOD SENT FORTH HIS
SON, BORN OF A WOMAN, BORN UNDER THE LAW, TO
REDEEM THOSE WHO WERE UNDER THE LAW, THAT WE
MIGHT RECEIVE THE ADOPTION AS SONS. AND BECAUSE
YOU ARE SONS, GOD HAS SENT FORTH THE SPIRIT OF
HIS SON INTO OUR HEARTS. ( GALATIANS 4:4-6 )

The Apostle Paul used adoption or "sonship" to illustrate
to us, the believer's new relationship with God. For when a
person becomes a Christian, he or she gains all the privileges
and responsibilities of a Child in God's family.

One of these privileges is being lead by the Spirit. Now we
may not always feel as though we belong to God, but the Holy
Spirit is our witness! For His inward presence reminds us of
who we are and encourages us with God's love. For it is written;
NOW HOPE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT, BECAUSE THE LOVE
OF GOD HAS BEEN POURED OUT IN OUR HEARTS BY THE
HOLY SPIRIT WHO WAS GIVEN TO US. ( ROMANS 5:5 )

So David, have a wonderful day remembering that you are
indeed a Child of God Almighty, and an heir as well. For it is
written, YOU ARE NO LONGER A SLAVE, BUT A SON; AND
SINCE YOU ARE A SON, GOD HAS MADE YOU ALSO AN
HEIR. Now that should make your day, Indeed! Amen.
( GALATIANS 4:7 )

With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen

HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, HE
WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES; THE CHASTISEMENT
FOR OUR PEACE WAS UPON HIM, AND BY HIS STRIPES
WE ARE HEALED.
( ISAIAH 53:5 *NKJV )

Dear David,
Indeed we are healed of our transgressions, and iniquities
through the forgiveness of our sins. For it is written; HE HAS
DELIVERED US FROM THE POWER OF DARKNESS AND
CONVEYED US INTO THE KINGDOM OF THE SON OF HIS
LOVE, IN WHOM WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS
BLOOD, THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
( COLOSSIANS 1:13-14 )

When we think about how much forgiveness God shows
toward mankind, let us remember the words of our Savior
Jesus Christ, as he hung on the cross, "FATHER, FORGIVE
THEM, FOR THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY DO." So
let those words be an example for you when you find yourself
angry with another! ( LUKE 23:34 )

After all it is also written; IF YOU FORGIVE MEN THEIR
TRESPASSES, YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER WILL ALSO
FORGIVE YOU. BUT IF YOU DO NOT FORGIVE MEN
THEIR TRESPASSES, NEITHER WILL YOUR FATHER
FORGIVE YOUR TRESPASSES. ( MATTHEW 6:14-15 )

So David, if you have been angered by another, why
not try to forgive them instead of holding a grudge. After all
your heart and mind will be at peace when you do! Amen.

With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen

WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM, FOR
HE WHO COMES TO GOD MUST BELIEVE THAT HE IS,
AND THAT HE IS A REWARDER OF THOSE WHO
DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM.
( HEBREWS 11:6 *NKJV )

Dear David,
God rewards us with blessings that continue to please us,
so we should do our best to please God as well! After all then;
"BLESSED YOU SHALL BE IN THE CITY, AND BLESSED
YOU SHALL BE IN THE COUNTRY."
( DEUTERONOMY 28:3 )

Now we can do that by obeying His Commandments
and by loving our neighbor's as ourselves. For Jesus
Christ said, "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." ( MATTHEW 22:39-40 )

So David, do your best to live by God's
Commandments, and share your love with others so;
THAT YOU MAY WALK WORTHY OF THE LORD,
FULLY PLEASING HIM, BEING FRUITFUL IN EVERY
GOOD WORK AND INCREASING IN THE
KNOWLEDGE OF GOD. For when you do, His blessings
will flow abundantly to you! After all it is written that;
WHEN A MAN'S WAYS PLEASE THE LORD, HE
MAKES EVEN HIS ENEMIES TO BE A PEACE WITH
HIM. Amen. ( COLOSSIANS 1:10 ) ( PROVERBS 16:7 )

With My Love & Prayers,

LIKEWISE, I SAY TO YOU, THERE IS JOY IN THE
PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE
SINNER WHO REPENTS.
( LUKE 15:10 *NKJV )

Dear David,
Each person on the face of the Earth is precious to
our Heavenly Father! He grieves each time a soul is
lost, for God is; LONGSUFFERING TOWARD US NOT
WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH BUT ALL
SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE. ( 2 PETER 3:9 )
Therefore all the company of Heaven rejoices over every
person that has been brought into His Kingdom!

Now we can help bring lost souls into the Kingdom of
Heaven by telling them about our Heavenly Father. For;
FAITH COMES FROM HEARING, AND HEARING BY
THE WORD OF GOD. ( ROMANS 10:17 ) We can
also help by showing them the way we live. We do that
by living according to the Scriptures, obeying the Laws
of God, and by our showing loving kindness and mercy
towards others.

Therefore David, I have found no greater pleasure
than sharing God's Love with others, even strangers!
For always remember that the stranger we meet today,
may very well become a good friend tomorrow!

So have a wonderful day David, and why not let your
love light shine brightly today and every day. After all it
just might light a pathway for someone lost in the
darkness and save a soul as well! Amen.

With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen

WE WAIT IN HOPE FOR THE LORD; HE IS OUR HELP AND
OUR SHIELD.
( PSALM 33:20 *NIV )

Dear David,
When nothing seems to be going right in your life, don't
despair, pray and ask for God's help, and then; WAIT FOR
THE LORD; BE STRONG AND TAKE HEART AND WAIT FOR
THE LORD. ( PSALM 27:14 ) For; THOSE WHO HOPE IN THE
LORD WILL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH. THEY WILL SOAR
ON WINGS LIKE EAGLES; THEY WILL RUN AND NOT GROW
WEARY, THEY WILL WALK AND NOT BE FAINT.
( ISAIAH 40:31 )

After all; THE LORD IS GOOD TO THOSE WHOSE HOPE
IS IN HIM, TO THE ONE WHO SEEKS HIM. ( LAMENTATIONS
3:25 ) For God has said; "THEN YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM
THE LORD; THOSE WHO HOPE IN ME WILL NOT BE
DISAPPOINTED." ( ISAIAH 49:23 )

Therefore don't let disappointments cause you to give up,
instead always; HOLD UNANSWERINGLY TO THE HOPE
WE PROFESS, FOR HE WHO PROMISED IS FAITHFUL.
Faithful Indeed! ( HEBREWS 10:23)

Now David, have a Wonderful Weekend, and may the
peace of God Almighty be with you. Amen.

With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen

"HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER, THAT YOUR DAYS
MAY BE LONG ON THE LAND WHICH THE LORD YOUR GOD
IS GIVING YOU." ( EXODUS 20:12 NKJV )


Dear David,
As we all know the top verse is one of the Ten Commandments.
So I would like to share with you a message I received this week
from one of our Sister's In Christ.. Then you will know why I used the
verse when you read the message. I hope that this will move you
as it has me. So let us begin:

Robby's Night
True Story -- Worth Reading!!!

My name is Mildred Hondorf. I am a former elementary school
music teacher from Des Moines, Iowa. I've always supplemented
my income by teaching piano lessons-something I've done for
over 30 years.
______________________

Over the years I found that children have many levels of musical
ability. I've never had the pleasure of having a prodigy though I have
taught some talented students.

However I've also had my share of what I call "musically
challenged" pupils. One such student was Robby. Robby was 11
years old when his mother (a single Mom) dropped him off for his
first piano lesson. I prefer that students (especially boys!) begin at
an earlier age, which I explained to Robby.

But Robby said that it had always been his mother's dream to
hear him play the piano. So I took him as a student. Well, Robby
began with his piano lessons and from the beginning I thought it
was a hopeless endeavor.

As much as Robby tried, he lacked the sense of tone and basic
rhythm needed to excel. But he dutifully reviewed his scales and
some elementary pieces that I require all my students to learn.

Over the months he tried and tried while I listened and cringed
and tried to encourage him. At the end of each weekly lesson he'd
always say, "My mom's going to hear me play someday." But it
seemed hopeless. He just did not have any inborn ability. I only
knew his mother from a distance as she dropped Robby off or
waited in her aged car to pick him up. She always waved and
smiled but never stopped in.

Then one day Robby stopped coming to our lessons.

I thought about calling him but assumed because of his lack of
ability, that he had decided to pursue something else. I also was
glad that he stopped coming He was a bad advertisement for my
teaching!

Several weeks later I mailed to the student's homes a flyer on
the upcoming recital. To my surprise Robby (who received a flyer)
asked me if he could be in the recital. I told him that the recital
was for current pupils and because he had dropped out he really
did not qualify. He said that his mother had been sick and unable
to take him to piano lessons but he was still practicing. "Miss
Hondorf I've just got to play!" he insisted.

I don't know what led me to allow him to play in the recital.
Maybe it was his persistence or maybe it was something inside of
me saying that it would be all right. The night for the recital came.
The high school gymnasium was packed with parents, friends and
relatives. I put Robby up last in the program before I was to come
up and thank all the students and play a finishing piece. I thought
that any damage he would do would come at the end of the
program and I could always salvage his poor performance through
my "curtain closer."

Well, the recital went off without a hitch. The students had been
practicing and it showed. Then Robby came up on stage. His
clothes were wrinkled and his hair looked like he'd run an eggbeater
through it. "Why didn't he dress up like the other students?" I
thought. "Why didn't his mother at least make him comb his hair
for this special night?"

Robby pulled out the piano bench and he began. I was surprised
when he announced that he had chosen Mozart's Concerto #21 in C
Major. I was not prepared for what I heard next. His fingers were
light on the keys, they even danced nimbly on the ivories. He went
from pianissimo to fortissimo. From allegro to virtuoso. His
suspended chords that Mozart demands were magnificent! Never
had I heard Mozart played so well by people his age. After six and
a half minutes he ended in a grand crescendo and everyone was
on their feet in wild applause.

Overcome and in tears I ran up on stage and put my arms
around Robby in joy. "I've never heard you play like that Robby!
How'd you do it? " Through the microphone Robby explained: "Well
Miss Hondorf . .. .. remember I told you my Mom was sick? Well,
actually she had cancer and passed away this morning. And well.
she was born deaf so tonight was the first time she ever heard me
play. I wanted to make it special."

There wasn't a dry eye in the house that evening. As the people
from Social Services led Robby from the stage to be placed into
foster care, noticed that even their eyes were red and puffy and I
thought to myself how much richer my life had been for taking
Robby as my pupil.

No, I've never had a prodigy but that night I became a prodigy. . .
of Robby's. He was the teacher and I was the pupil For it is he that
taught me the meaning of perseverance and love and believing in
yourself and maybe even taking a chance in someone and you don't
know why.

And now, a footnote to the story.
Where is Robby today? I am sorry to tell you that Robby was killed
in the senseless bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building
in Oklahoma City in April of 1995.

In Christ's Service,
Allen

TEACHER, WHICH IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT IN
THE LAW? JESUS SAID TO HIM, 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE
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.
( MATTHEW 22:36-40 *NKJV )

Dear David,
In the top verse Jesus quoted from DEUTERONOMY 6:5 and
LEVITICUS 19:18. By fulfilling these two commands, a
person may keep all of the others. For these two summarize
the Ten Commandments, as well as, the Old Testament moral
laws as well!

The Apostle John summed it up this way; BELOVED, IF
GOD SO LOVED US, WE ALSO OUGHT TO LOVE ONE
ANOTHER. ( 1 JOHN 4:11 )

This is way it is so important in our walk of Faith, that we
become living examples of Christ's Love! For when we mirror
that Great Love, it actually plants the seeds of Faith in others,
thus helping them to achieve Eternal Life with our Heavenly
Father. There is no greater gift that you can give to someone!

Now by giving this gift it pleases God and all of the Company
of Heaven, for it is written; THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE
OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER WHO
REPENTS. ( LUKE 15:10 )

So David, have a wonderful day, and please take the time to
do a little planting! Amen.

With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen

CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETY ON HIM BECAUSE HE CARES FOR
YOU.
( 1 PETER 5:7 *NIV )

Dear David,
We are often filled with worry and anxiety in the fast paced
World of ours today. When you think about it, what is worry but
the opposite of faith!

Now Jesus Christ said, "I TELL YOU, DO NOT WORRY
ABOUT YOUR LIFE, WHAT YOU WILL EAT OR DRINK; OR
ABOUT YOUR BODY, WHAT YOU WILL WEAR. IS NOT LIFE
MORE IMPORTANT THAN FOOD, AND THE BODY MORE
IMPORTANT THAN CLOTHES? LOOK AT THE BIRDS OF THE
AIR; THEY DO NOT SOW OR REAP OR STORE AWAY IN
BARNS, AND YET YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER FEEDS THEM.
AND WHY DO YOU WORRY ABOUT CLOTHES? SEE HOW
THE LILIES OF THE FIELD GROW. THEY DO NOT LABOR
OR SPIN. YET I TELL YOU THAT NOT EVEN SOLOMON IN
ALL HIS SPLENDOR WAS DRESSED LIKE ONE OF THESE."
( MATTHEW 6:25-26; & 28-29 )

Therefore David, know that God is always with you, and there
is no reason to worry about what might happen. After all it is
written; DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW, FOR
TOMORROW WILL WORRY ABOUT ITSELF. EACH DAY
HAS ENOUGH TROUBLE OF ITS OWN. ( MATTHEW 6:34 )
So instead; DO NOT BE ANXIOUS ABOUT ANYTHING,
BUT IN EVERYTHING, BY PRAYER AND PETITION, WITH
THANKSGIVING, PRESENT YOUR REQUESTS TO GOD.
And; LET THE PEACE OF CHRIST RULE IN YOUR HEARTS,
SINCE AS MEMBERS OF ONE BODY YOU WERE CALLED
TO PEACE. AND BE THANKFUL. Amen.
( PHILIPPIANS 4:6 ) & ( COLOSSIANS 3:15 )

With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen

BE FAITHFUL, EVEN TO THE POINT OF DEATH, AND I WILL
GIVE YOU THE CROWN OF LIFE.
( Revelation 2:10 *NIV )

Dear David,
There are many times in this life when our faith is put to the
test. Times that we may even feel that God has abandoned us
because a prayer isn't answered the way we want it to be.
Know that it is written; THOUGH NOW FOR A LITTLE WHILE
YOU MAY HAVE HAD TO SUFFER GRIEF IN ALL KINDS OF
TRIALS. THESE HAVE COME SO THAT YOUR FAITH--OF
GREATER WORTH THAN GOLD, WHICH PERISHES EVEN
THOUGH REFINED BY FIRE--MAY PROVE GENUINE AND MAY
RESULT IN PRAISE, GLORY AND HONOR WHEN JESUS
CHRIST IS REVEALED. ( 1 Peter 1:6-7 )

Also know that sometimes what we pray for isn't God's will
for us thus; THIS IS THE CONFIDENCE WE HAVE IN
APPROACHING GOD: THAT IF WE ASK ANYTHING
ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HE HEARS US.
( 1 John 5:14-15 )

You see David, sometimes what we pray for would actually
hurt us in the long run, and our Heavenly Father is protecting us
from that. Other times we just can't understand God's ways for;
NO ONE KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF GOD EXCEPT THE
SPIRIT OF GOD. ( 1 Corinthians 2:11 )

However, we do know He loves us very much, and would never
abandoned us or deliberately hurt us. So we must keep our faith
knowing that God is with us and that no matter what happens
He is in control! Therefore it is important that; WE WALK BY
FAITH NOT BY SIGHT. ( 2 Corinthians 5:7 ) trusting that God
knows what is best for us, even if a prayer isn't answered the way
we want it to be! Amen.

With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen

BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE; DO NOT BE
AFRAID, NOR BE DISMAYED, FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD
IS WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO.
( JOSHUA 1:9 * NKJV )

Dear David,
Whenever you become fearful know that; THE LORD, HE
IS THE ONE WHO GOES BEFORE YOU. HE WILL BE
WITH YOU, HE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE
YOU; DO NOT FEAR NOR BE DISMAYED.
( DEUTERONOMY 31:8 )

After all, when we are fearful we worry and tend to build
mountains out of mole hills in our minds. Now things rarely
ever materialize nearly as bad as we then have anticipated.
Thus we have become fearful for nothing, and remember that
fear is the opposite of faith!

Now God has even promised us; WHEN YOU PASS
THROUGH THE WATERS, I WILL BE WITH YOU; AND
THROUGH THE RIVERS, THEY SHALL NOT OVERFLOW
YOU. WHEN YOU WALK THROUGH THE FIRE, YOU
SHALL NOT BE BURNED, NOR SHALL THE FLAMES
SCORCH YOU. ( ISAIAH 43:2 ) This verse is referring to
the Children passing through the Red Sea, and also the
protection HE gave to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego,
in the fiery furnace. Both are good examples of how God
has helped HIS Children in the past!

Therefore King David was able to boldly say; "YEA,
THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE
SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL; FOR YOUR
ROD AND STAFF, THEY COMFORT ME. ( PSALM 23:4 )

So David, when you become worried or fearful know
that God will help you, just as HE has done for His Children in the
past! Therefore; you may boldly say; THE LORD IS MY LIGHT
AND MY SALVATION; WHOM SHALL I FEAR? THE LORD IS
THE STRENGTH OF MY LIFE; OF WHOM SHALL I BE AFRAID?
Amen! ( PSALM 27:1 )

FEAR NOT, FOR I AM WITH YOU; BE NOT DISMAYED, FOR
I AM YOUR GOD. I WILL STRENGTHEN YOU, YES, I WILL
HELP YOU, I WILL UPHOLD YOU WITH MY RIGHTEOUS
RIGHT HAND.
( ISAIAH 41:10 * NKJV )

Dear David,
Now we all get tired at times, and feel that we can't
possibly go on. When that happens remember that God's
power and strength never diminishes, and He is never to
tired or busy to help His Children. He is always there for us,
and; HE GIVES POWER TO THE WEAK, AND TO THOSE
WHO HAVE NO MIGHT HE INCREASES STRENGTH.
EVEN THE YOUNG MEN SHALL UTTERLY FALL, BUT
THOSE WHO WAIT ON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR
STRENGTH; THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS OF
EAGLES, THEY SHALL RUN AND NOT BE WEARY,
THEY SHALL WALK AND NOT FAINT. ( ISAIAH 40:29-31 )

So David, when you feel life's problems overwhelming
you, and you feel that you cannot go another step, don't
give up. Remember that you can count on God for added
strength, and remind yourself, I CAN DO ALL THINGS
THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME! Amen.
( PHILIPPIANS 4:13 )

Have a wonderful day my dear friend, and know that you
are always in my prayers!

With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen

GOD DEMONSTRATES HIS OWN LOVE TOWARD US,
IN THAT WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST
DIED FOR US.
( ROMANS 5:8 *NKJV )

Dear David,
As you already know God loved us so much that He sent
His son Jesus Christ to die for us. Not because we were
perfect, but because He loved us that much! There couldn't
be a greater demonstration of His love than that! He even
loved us when we were living in sin, that is before we
became Christians.

Now that we are Christians we realize the tremendous
price that our Savior Jesus Christ paid for our sins; AND
WE HAVE KNOWN AND BELIEVED THE LOVE THAT
GOD HAS FOR US as well. ( 1 JOHN 4:16 )

After all, GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE
GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOEVER
BELIEVES IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE
EVERLASTING LIFE. FOR GOD DID NOT SEND HIS
SON INTO THE WORLD TO CONDEMN THE WORLD,
BUT THAT THE WORLD MIGHT BE SAVED.
( JOHN 3:16-17 )

So David, never doubt God's Great Love for you, after
all you are His Child. Further, He is not a God waiting
to punish anyone, but a Heavenly Father who has
tremendous love for His Children! So if you ever feel
unloved, and all alone, reach out to Him for He is always
there with open arms waiting for you!

Have a Wonderful and Safe Momorial Day Weekend
and may it be filled with love hope and faith as well. Amen.

With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen

( if you want them to come to your e-mail everyday then go here. https://www.godsminute.com/subscribe/ it is free.)

PRECIOUS IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD IS THE DEATH
OF HIS SAINTS.
( PSALM 116:5 *NKJV )

Dear David,
We all experience the death of our loved one's while we
are here on Earth. Therefore we may take comfort in
knowing that they are now with God. For it is written that
when we die; THE DUST RETURNS TO THE GROUND IT
CAME FROM, AND THE SPIRIT RETURNS TO GOD WHO
GAVE IT. ( ECCLESIASTES 12:7 )

So David, take comfort in knowing you will see them
again, for it isn't the end of them but only the beginning!
The beginning of a much better life where; HE WILL WIPE
AWAY EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES. THERE WILL
BE NO MORE DEATH OR MOURNING OR CRYING OR
PAIN, FOR THE OLD ORDER OF THINGS HAS PASSED
AWAY. ( REVELATION 21:4 )

Now if you have just experienced the loss of a loved one,
the following message is for you! It has Ministered to many
and I pray that it will help you as well. Further, if you haven't
experienced that loss, perhaps you know someone who has
and would appreciate receiving it. If so, please feel free to
share it with them!

So as we begin this Memorial Day weekend, a time that
we honor those who have passed away, let us remember
that those who were saved are now,
"SAFELY HOME"

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.

All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I an now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.

Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! But Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.

And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?

Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.

There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth,
You shall rest in Jesus' land.

When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!

With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen

YOU, O LORD, KEEP MY LAMP BURNING; MY GOD TURNS
MY DARKNESS INTO LIGHT.
( PSALM 18:28 *NIV )

Dear David,
When you find yourself in darkness, or in others words, when
you find yourself surrounded by troubles, you can always count
on God to light a pathway through them. For; THE LORD IS
GOOD, A REFUGE IN TIMES OF TROUBLE. HE CARES FOR
THOSE WHO TRUST HIM. ( NAHUM 1:7 )

King David wrote; THOUGH I WALK IN THE MIDST OF
TROUBLE, YOU PRESERVE MY LIFE; YOU STRETCH OUT
YOUR HAND AGAINST THE ANGER OF MY FOES, WITH
YOUR RIGHT HAND YOU SAVE ME. ( PSALM 138:7 ) For;
I LIFT UP MY EYES TO THE HILLS-WHERE DOES MY HELP
COME FROM? MY HELP COMES FROM THE LORD, THE
MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH! ( PSALM 121:1-2 )

Therefore if you are experiencing troubles or worries in
your life right now, CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETY ON HIM
BECAUSE HE CARES FOR YOU. ( 1 PETER 5:7 ), and it is
through prayer that you may cast your troubles and worries
on Him! For after all; THE LORD IS NEAR TO ALL WHO CALL
ON HIM IN TRUTH. HE HEARS THEIR CRY AND SAVES
THEM. Amen. ( PSALM 145:18 )

With My Love & Prayers,
your servant Allen
