The Introverted Evangelist

Victorious Love and Saving Grace : " For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal ( everlasting) life . " (John 3:16 AMP) Love , not law, has won.  Grace , not guilt, is the gift of Salvation that saves us all.  Faith , not fear, is what flourishes life everlasting. The immense love of the Father is our  eternal victory . There is hope for all ages, triumph for every nation, and healing for each soul, because in Him we're made whole. Salvation's spelled out in  blood-stained agony  there on the Cross. It seemed like hope was lost, but it's from the darkest grave  He rose again in glorious light . " But God is so  rich in mercy , and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (...

My Soul Satisfaction : " Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord [roll and repose each care of your load on Him]; trust (lean on, rely on, and be confident) also in Him and He will bring it to pass. " (Psalm 37:4-5 AMP) The Lord is my Treasure.  Nothing compares to the sweetness of His Presence and His peace . He is all I need. He is my portion. Today's needs are met with  unmerited favour , tomorrow's tasks are already covered by His marvellous mercy, and  my past is redeemed by His glorious grace . As  I reflect on all He's done this month , I am reminded of His unending faithfulness. Though I walk through the most rattling storms,  I am   seeking His face through the rough and trusting His grace is enough . He is my vital need, my constant creed. He will always rescue, He will never leave... This I will believe. " He will fulfill the desires of those who reverentl...

Be Mine/I am Yours : " Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. " (Revelation 3:20) Every morning I rise, there You are.  Your radiance shines over me  as the rising sun.  Your goodness surrounds me  like a cloud. Your Presence knocks at the door to my heart, and into my very centre I welcome Your Spirit. Come and fill me. Come and exchange my worrying in distraught anxiety for heartfelt wondering in Your divine authority. You are sovereign over my every circumstance and You are constant even in my confusion . " Arise, shine; For your light has come! And  the glory of the LORD is risen upon you . For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, And deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you...Your sun shall no longer go down, Nor shall your moon withdraw itself; For the LORD will be your  everlasting light ,...

I Loved You at Your Darkest : " Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; Let them bring me to Your holy hill And to Your tabernacle. Then I will go to the altar of God, To God my exceeding joy; And on the harp I will praise You, O God, my God. Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why are you disquieted within me? Hope in God; For I shall yet praise Him, The help of my countenance and my God ." (Psalms 43:3-5) Your  gentle whispers , O Lord, have been the foundation of what has sustained me and my hope.  Your joy is the song my heart sings  today, but the tune didn't always play so light and serenely.  I remember the nights , God, the nights in the darkest, most dreadfully uninviting bed chambers... But You were there, and somehow  You stilled the waves that threatened to drown me . You, in Your sovereign mightiness, spoke peace into the turmoil of my troubles.  You spoke light into my darkest night , and  You spoke hope into the trenc...
