I recently finished a painting of a dog looking upwards. Dogs can represent loyalty. As a dog is loyal to its master, so we are to be loyal to our Master, Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. We are to fix our eyes on Him, who is our joy and prize, knowing that Heaven is cheering us on! 

'Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.'

Hebrews 12:1-2

My prayer for you and I, is that we focus on Jesus throughout this race of life and keep an eternal perspective on life. This will help us to get through the really hard days and to never give up! Jesus is interceding for us!

Child of the King

I am thankful to be a child of the King of Kings

I find my place of safety and refuge underneath His wings

The God of Israel is my beloved friend

This is an eternal friendship that will never end

 

The LORD Jesus is powerful and He is on my side

The Holy Spirit dwells in me and is my faithful guide

The LORD only has my best interests at heart

He remains faithful, so we shall never be apart

 

The LORD makes me courageous and ever so strong

It's to Him, that I belong!

He makes my paths straight before me as I trust in Him

He has washed me in His blood and cleansed me from my sin!

 

His forgiveness is amazing, His mercy it is sure

To every situation, Jesus is the cure!

He guards my heart with purity, His burden is so light

In the LORD Jesus Christ, I take all my delight!

 

He is my beloved, the strength of my soul

He fights for my freedom and makes me whole

He pleads my case and rights my wrongs

He fills me with His glory songs

 

The LORD never leaves me, for He is devoted

In the Lamb's Book of Life, there my name is noted

Purchased by the blood, the gift of grace

Soon I shall meet my Saviour face to face!

 

The LORD is good and merciful and He is just

It is in His name that I put my trust

While there is breath in my lungs, I will serve the LORD Jesus Christ

For He is the Way, the Truth and the Life

 

Nothing can compare to the LORD's great glory

He is mighty, He is strong and He is holy

Great are His works, I will remember all that He has done

He will finish what He started; He will complete what He has begun

 

The LORD does not give up on anyone

The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come!"

Heaven is eternal and is not too far away

Jesus will take me there and keep me safe I pray

 

Life can be so good when you put Jesus first

Because I believe in Him, I shall never thirst

I shall not hunger for Jesus is the bread of life

I place my faith in His sacrifice

 

There is no greater love, there is no greater joy

All of the devil's works He shall destroy

He preserves my soul and watches over me

He delivers and sets my spirit free!
