by John Greenleaf Whittier

"I know not what the future hath of marvel and surprise,
Assured alone that life and death God's mercy underlines.
And if my heart and flesh are weak to bear the untried pain,
The bruised reed God will not break, but strengthen and sustain.
No offering of my own I have, not works my faith to prove;
I can but give the gifts He gave, and please His love for love.
And so beside the silent sea I wait the muffled oar;
Nor harm from God can come to me on ocean or on shore.
I know not where His island life their fronded palsm in air,
I only know I cannot drift beyond His love and care."

All I can say is Praise the Lord!
Why?
Because some how, by His wonderful amazing grace and goodness towards me, He has put tons of people in my life that love me. And beyond that, people in my life that see Jesus Christ through me! It is all Him and I rejoice in the knowledge of His justifying me and sanctifying me.
May all praise be His as my Creator, Redeemer, and Friend!
