Against your servant, Lord, who can prevail; What thing can separate me from your grace? I am persuaded that You cannot fail; You’ve set a seal that nothing can erase. I’m safe within Your care forevermore And hell itself cannot destroy my soul For You’ve devised a plan that will endure; You’ll bring me safely home for that’s Your goal. No Principality can loose Your hold Created beings, none, need my heart fear; No present circumstance nor ones of old Or yet to be can change Your love, that’s clear. The finished work of Christ can’t be undone Yes, once for all, He died, salvation’s won. Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ |

Denise, This is a beautiful statment of your faith, and abiding trust in the power and effacy of His Ultimate sacrifice for us. I find it reflective of some of the thoughts of Romans 8:31 and following. God bless you,Sis, David "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |

Beautiful message enwrapped in an equally beautiful poem. Might have a wee bit to do with the beautiful soul who gave life to this wonderful effort. |
