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!

Thou anointest my head with oil.....................That's Consecration!
My cup runneth over...................That's Abundance!
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my
life...................That's Blessing!
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord...........That's Security!
Forever...............That's Eternity!

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.
