HAPPY THOUGHTS 10




Thoughts from the 23rd Psalm



This is an eye opener; some probably never thought or looked at this

Psalm in this way, even though they say it over and over again.


The Lord is my Shepherd...........That's Relationship!


I shall not want...............That's Supply!


He maketh me to lie down in green pastures..................That's Rest!


He leadeth me beside the still waters...............That's Refreshment!


He restoreth my soul..................That's Healing!

For God So Loved The World


For God--the Lord of earth and Heaven

So Loved,--and longed to see forgiven

The World--in sin and pleasure made

That He Gave--the greatest Gift He had

His Only Son--to take our place

That Whosoever--oh, what Grace--

Believeth--placing simple trust

In Him--the Righteous and the Great--

Should not perish--the Righteous lost in sin,

But have everlasting Life--in Him.
