Empty...


“’My sheet hear My voice, and I know them and they follow Me, and I give eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.’” John 10:27-30

“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for Thou art with me.” Psalm 23:1-4

“Richard was feeling a pain as great as any that a human being experiences; the pain of betrayal. The pain of a lover who wakes up and suddenly realises it’s all over. He had staked his life on God, and God has let him down.” * It is alright to feel authentic feelings, but feeling are not nearly as important as facts. If you are His, HE will never leave you or let you go!

“Then the Lord said to Job, ‘Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reprove God answer it.’ Then Job answered the Lord and said, ‘Behold, I am insignificant; what can I replay to Thee? I lay my hand on my mouth.’” Job 40:1-4
