Used with Permission by, Linda DeSilva In these days, when joy seems to be in short supply, the title words above (from verse 3 of ‘As the Deer’ -Psalm 42- by Martin Nystrom) have been a reminder to me of Jesus’ preparation of His disciples for His approaching departure, as recorded in John chapter 15.

SIGNS EVERYWHERE!
I am of the age that I can recall WW2 and many things since then. I recall much of the details of fear that constantly plagued our little Island of Bermuda, and how we were engaged in every angle of protection. Even at that young age, we had to help dig trenches around our schoolContinue reading “SIGNS EVERYWHERE!”
IT WILL BE WORTH IT ALL
The song-writer said: It will be worth it all when we see Jesus, Life’s trials will seem so small when we see Christ;One glimpse of His dear face all sorrow will erase, So bravely run the race till we see Christ.
SUBSERVIENT
After presenting the uniqueness of Jesus being both God and man, he presents the beauty of His purpose, to redeem man who is totally corrupt, into a spiritual child of a sinless God. When one reads the uniqueness of the virgin birth of Christ, you also discover that from a human stand-point, Jesus, and JohnContinue reading “SUBSERVIENT”

OH! WHAT A NAME!
I wish you could have met my friend Jack. He was a hard-drinking, cigar-smoking / chewing laundryman; that is, before he became a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. In his own words, “I should have owned one of the railroad cars for the tickets I bought sending my wife back home to her parents.”Continue reading “OH! WHAT A NAME!”
WHAT THINK YOU OF JESUS?
We all have opinions which are formed, usually from extenuating circumstances of life, more so in our younger more formative years. As we re-hearse those in our minds later we often enlarge upon them, especially as other things are encountered which have, we determine, a relationship to the past. As a youngster I had exposureContinue reading “WHAT THINK YOU OF JESUS?”
JESUS, I MY CROSS HAVE TAKEN
A few mornings ago I was taking my morning walk, endeavoring to get this old knee and the leg overall in better shape. Suddenly, the Lord brought to mind a song that I have not heard in a long time: In the Cross of Christ I Glory In the cross of Christ I glory,Tow ‘ringContinue reading “JESUS, I MY CROSS HAVE TAKEN”
THE HEM ONLY
My friend had a pile of rocks on which he had painted places and dates he had visited. I can imagine that after many years of living in the Navy, and being on a ship, he wanted to remember specific things about “terra firma”! Then there are those who are enamored with items that areContinue reading “THE HEM ONLY”
