The Best Friend

"This is my Friend!" 

 
Miranda John Waterhouse
A friend the greatest blessings
Song of Solomon 4:16
 

A friend is one of the greatest blessings on earth. Tell me not of money — love is better than gold; sympathy is better than lands. He is the poor man — who has no friends!  This world is full of sorrow — because it is full of sin. It is a dark place. It is a lonely place. It is a disappointing place. The brightest sunbeam in it, is a friend. Friendship halves our troubles and doubles our joys!

God's Word Promises You

God's Inexhaustible Strength
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

"Irreplaceable"

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, marked off the heavens with a [nine-inch] span, enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance?
Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, or as His counselor has taught Him? With whom did He take counsel, that instruction might be given Him? Who taught Him the path of justice and taught Him knowledge and showed Him the way of understanding?

Baby Boy

“Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people." This was the promise of God for a world dying in sin. "For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten son... " (John 3:16)

The birth of Christ. as recorded in Luke 1:7) It is made known to the shepherds. (8-20) Christ presented in the temple. (21-24) Simeon prophesies concerning Jesus. (25-35) Anna prophesies concerning him. (36-40) Christ with the learned men in the temple. (41-52)1-7 The fulness of time was now come, when God would send forth his Son, made of a woman, and made under the law.

Signs The Blind Can See

 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?”(Matthew 24:3) Jesus answered them saying " Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. Many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." (Matthew 24:11-12,14).

Faithful and True

"Behold, he is coming with the clouds and every eye will see him." Revelation 1:7 
He cometh — Jesus Christ. Throughout this book, whenever it is said, He cometh, it means his glorious coming. The preparation for this began at the destruction of Jerusalem, and more particularly at the time of writing this book; and goes on, without any interruption, till that grand event is accomplished. Therefore it is never said in this book, He will come; but, He cometh. And yet it is not said, He cometh again: for when he came before, it was not like himself, but in "the form of a servant." But his appearing in glory is properly his coming; namely, in a manner worthy of the Son of God.

Trusting God

"If we hope to spend eternity in praising God, it is fit that we should spend much of our time here in this work. He never said to any one, Seek ye me in vain. David's prayers helped to silence his fears; many besides him have looked unto the Lord by faith and prayer, and it has wonderfully revived and comforted them.
