The Sunday Sermonette – Old Hymns. Wise Words.

     Because of THE OLD RUGGED CROSS, WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN, we can sing BLESSED ASSURANCE Jesus is mine. We should always HAVE FAITH IN GOD and pray for JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE. Never forget HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION is God’s love for His children.

     Like you, WHEN I SURVEY THE WONDROUS CROSS, I’m reminded to put my hand in THE NAIL SCARRED HAND of Jesus and tell him I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR. When the storms of life crash around us, let us stand on the ROCK OF AGES and remember how God’s LOVE LIFTED ME, you, and us out of the angry waves of evil and sin. Each day, let us strengthen our personal connection to God and Jesus during a SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER.  

     Reading the WONDERFUL WORDS OF LIFE in the Good Book reminds us to RESCUE THE PARISHING. Don’t forget to COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS, too, my friends.  Because, like you, I KNOW WHO HOLDS TOMORROW. GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS, Father God; I’m deeply grateful for that. Please help me tell others about your faithfulness, and please MAKE ME A BLESSING to someone today.   

     PRECIOUS LAMB OF GLORY, thank you! WHEN HE WAS ON THE CROSS, we were on His mind. BLESS BE THE TIDE THAT BINDS us to Him; Bread of Heaven feed us until we want no more. IT IS NO SECRET, dear ones, that JESUS PAID IT ALL. That is why I BELIEVE IN A HILL CALLED MT. CALVARY, and often ask myself, WHY SHOULD HE LOVE ME SO?  

     Come THE MIDNIGHT HOUR, AT THE END OF THE WAY, please ABIDE WITH ME and all your children, Father God. Give us strength to say, “HAVE THINE OWN WAY,” as we look toward Heaven and realize that we are NEARER MY GOD TO THEE.

     If you’re ALMOST PERSUADED to put your trust in Father God and His Son, please whisper, “I MUST TELL JESUS all of my troubles,” realizing He is a kind and compassionate friend. If you do, His words of love will instill hope within your heart, a WHISPERING HOPE, bringing PEACE IN THE VALLEY of your life filled with pain, loss, doubt, and fear. Putting your faith in Him will ensure you an eternal HAVEN OF REST, a haven filled with precious loved ones and PRECIOUS MEMORIES, along with endless, happy days, SAFE IN THE ARMS OF JESUS.

     MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS AND KEEP YOU, whether near or far away. May you find that long-awaited golden day today. May your troubles all be small ones, and your fortune ten times ten. May the good Lord bless and keep you, ’til we meet again.

     May you walk with sunlight shining, and a bluebird in every tree, may there be a silver lining, back of every cloud you see. Fill your dreams with sweet tomorrows, never mind what might have been. MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS AND KEEP YOU, ‘til we meet again.  

     Ponder this and go forth.
