Heb.10:35-36 (BSB)
So do not throw away your confidence; it holds a great reward.
you will receive what He has promised.
Doesn't each part/phrase of the above verses
give great truths and conditions to ponder and prize
as we persevere?!!
This hawk has made life a misery for the little birds this winter,
but it is hungry too,
and only doing what it must to survive
though it is heartbreaking to watch!
It is heartbreaking to watch suffering and feel helpless to alleviate it
because we cannot (thank God!) do what only He can
through the Comforter/Helper He has given, to all who believe
and receive the Holy Spirit.
John 14:15-18
If you love Me, [d]keep My commandments.
that He may abide with you forever—
because it neither sees Him nor knows Him;
but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.
The most important things in life
Are ministered where no one sees
But He who runs the heavens rife
With ineffable majesties
The Maker, Ruler, Keeper of
Heaven and earth is good and kind
His patient, everlasting love
Enough, if Want is thus inclined
...to seek life's most important things
From God's momentous smorgasbord
Of invisible offerings
Veiling recompense of reward
We choose either seen or Unseen
Faith boasts in what it cannot see
In spite of the dark glass between
Man's questions and God's clarity
Where what we understand God tries
With reasons no one can explain
God cares for creatures great and small
While goodness and mercy run rife
-est through broken hearts and dreams, for
The most important things in life
Teach us to trust and love God more
So, as we hope, pray, dream and plan
Lord, help us learn through what life brings
To love You first, then fellowman;
These are life's most important things
