Not a Dissapointment

My Dad often said, “Jesus is not a disappointment.” Thinking this verse may have inspired his saying:

“…those who hope in Me will not be disappointed.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭49‬:‭23‬ b NIV‬‬

"In The Garden of My Heart"

Today, i called my Mom, Lady Melba, and she beautifully quoted words from this old hymn written by Haldor Lillenas:

1. There’s a sacred and hallowed retreat,

Where my soul finds a fellowship sweet,

Where the Lord of my life I may meet,

In the garden of my heart.

Refrain

In the cool of the day He walks with me,

In the rose bordered way He talks with me;

In love’s holy union,

And sacred communion,

In the garden of my heart.

2. There is naught can disturb or molest,

There my spirit finds comfort and rest,

And my soul is no longer distressed

In the garden of my heart. [Refrain]

3. Shut away from earth’s strife and its din,

And protected from soul staining sin,

For my Savior is dwelling within,

In the garden of my heart. [Refrain]

4. There the dove of sweet peace always sings,

And my faith ever trustingly clings;

And the chime of sweet happiness rings

In the garden of my heart. [Refrain]

"Fully Surrendered to God’s Agenda!"

Trusting is Resting

Trusting God's promise means rest.

When we trust God, we don't have to strive to protect and guard ourselves.

We have the best Protector and Guard in God. We can rest in Him, and when we do, it shows we are really trusting in His promise.
