Words spoken by God were words of comfort and joy.
His words brought peace and removed fear.
Promises spoken were never broken.
His Word always comes to pass.
His words cast out demons and healed the sick.
His words were loud, whispered, and sometimes even silent.
His words rebuked in righteous anger, called the dead back to life, and saved sinners. (Like me!)
He spoke Creation into being and His words gave New Life.
At times He spoke in Parables, and other times He spoke plainly.
He invited all those to come to Him and lay their burdens down.
God's Words offer Salvation to any who will believe and turn to Him.
God always spoke the Truth in Love.
-And He lifted up His eyes to pray-

God, help me to speak to others...
    The same way You speak to me...
        Through Your Word, and in love...
            But that's just me!

"Within the Scripture there is a balm for every wound, a salve for every sore." Charles Spurgeon

Footprints in the Sand
Mary Stevenson
1939

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord,
"You promised me Lord, 
that if I followed You,
You would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, You have not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand,
is when I carried you."
