Revelation 22:12-13,20

"And behold, I am coming quickly, and My
reward is with Me, to give to every one
according to his work. I am the Alpha and
the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the
First and the Last.....Surely I am coming
quickly."

I was flipping through Kingdom's Reign, a great book I am reading,
and in the back of the book the author had this verse. I loved it and it
made me sooooo happy. I wanted to share it with you.

Excerpt from The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom

"It grew harder and harder. Even within these four walls there was too much misery, too much seemingly pointless suffering. Every day something else failed to make sense, something else grew too heavy.


"But as the rest of the world grew stranger, one thing became increasingly clear. And that was the reason the two of us were here. Why others should suffer we were not shown. As for us, from morning until lights-out, whenever we were not in ranks for roll call, our Bible was the center of an ever-widening circle of health and hope.


"Like waifs clustered around a blazing fire, we gathered about it, holding out our hearts to its warmth and light. The blacker the night around us grew, the brighter and truer and more beautiful burned the Word of God.


"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?...Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."


"I would look about us as Betsie read, watching the light leap from face to face. More than conquerors...It was not a wish. It was a fact.


"We knew it, we experienced it minute by minute--poor, hated, hungry. We are more than conquerors. Not "we shall be." We are!"


-The Hiding Place

1 Peter 2:24

And He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross,
so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness;
for by His wounds you were healed.

Wow!! It has been a long time since I have posted! Sorry.



This is a little part of a song from a book I like.



" Oak granite,

Lilies by the road,

Remember me?

I remember you.

Clouds brushing

Clover hills,

Remember me?

Sister, child,

Grown tall,

Remember me?

I remember you."



From Ella Enchanted
