Rhoni this is for you...

F. B. Meyer said, “He never puts His sheep forth without going before them…No ascent so steep that we cannot see His form in advance: no stones so sharp that are not flecked with His blood: no fire so intense that One does not go beside us, whose form is like the son of God: no waters so deep that Emmanuel does not go beside us.”

I read this today and thought, " I am sending this to Rhoni." Be encouraged and know we are praying for you.

That is beautiful Sis Alvear!

[Sister Alvear]

I thought so too.

Call Back!

If you have gone a little way ahead of me, call back-
It will cheer my heart and help my feet along the stony track;
And if, perchance, Faith’s light is dim, because the oil is low,
Your call will guide my lagging course as wearily I go.

Call back, and tell me that He went with you into the storm;
Call back, and say He kept you when forest’s roots were torn;
That when the heavens thunder and the earthquake shook the hill.
He bore you up and held where the very air was still.

O friend, call back, and tell me for I cannot see your face;
They say it glows with triumph, and your feet bound in the race;
But there are mists between us and my spirit eyes are dim,
And I cannot see the glory, though I long for word of Him.

But if you’ll say He heard you when your prayer was but a cry,
And if you’ll say He saw you through the night’s sin-darkened sky-
If you have gone a little way ahead, O friend, call back-
It will cheer my heart and help my feet along the stony track.

Jack Vinson, had been martyred and had fearlessly told his captors that if they killed him, he would go straight to God.

Afraid? Of what?
To feel the spirit’s glad release?
To pass from pain to perfect peace,
The strife and strain of life to cease?
Afraid? Of that?

Afraid? Of what?
Afraid to see the Saviour’s face,
To hear His welcome, and to trace,
The glory gleam from wounds of grace,
Afraid? Of that?

Afraid? Of what?
A flash - a crash - a pierced heart;
Brief darkness - Light - O Heaven’s art!
A wound of His a counterpart!
Afraid? Of that?

Afraid? Of what?
To enter into Heaven’s rest,
And yet to serve the Master blessed?
From service good to service best?
Afraid? Of that?

Afraid? Of what?
To do by death what life could not -
Baptize with blood a stony plot,
Till souls shall blossom from the spot?
Afraid? Of that?

“If you knew what God knows about death,” wrote George MacDonald, “you would clap your listless hands.”

Sis. Alvear,

The last two years have been the worst in my life, and since I have been through so much it would seem impossible. I can't pretend to know what God is doing but I do know that He is my Father and wishes only the best for me.

There are some things that cannot be analyzed, controlled, or understood. I heard one preacher say that when one is in the state of transition that friends, family, and even onesself can't understand and usually guess wrong.

I have no clue what is happening but I do know that I am being prayed for by some armour bearers, and God's will is going to be done.

Thank you for this word, but most of all just thinking about and praying for me.

I love & respect you,
Rhoni

Sis. Alvear,
Yes, I believe we are living in the last days. Satan is doing his best to wear out the saints. I live close and am very familar with Mesquite - why?

Blessings, Rhoni
