Just me trying to be honest with God.

“When you have come to the edge of all light…and are about to drop off into the darkness,

Faith is knowing… there will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught to fly.” Patrick Overton

“If you are not firm in faith, you will not be firm at all.” Is.7.9 ESV

Have you ever noticed that when your spirit is down everything around you is suppressed? You can be in beautiful surroundings; have your health; but if your faith is weak, beauty does not delight the eyes and health does not supply strength. When our wings are wet because they are drenched in depression it is hard to get out of bed; much less ascend to the joys of life. As goes, the spirit of the soul so goes all else. This is why it is so vital that we attend to those means of grace, which strengthen our faith. Let my soul remember the nourishing power of God’s precious promises. His embrace will warm the coldness in my heart. The dew of His promises will refresh the dry places in my soul. His breath will fill the air with the fragrance of renewed clarity and focus. The blood and bread of His communion will course through the veins with adrenaline of desire and might and the rhythm of His song will bounce a dance back into our steps. What precious promise is the Spirit even now placing on your lips? Speak it and spread your wings. His warm winds are coming your way. 12/3/2008 ts
