Friends?

Friends communicate. Whether frequently or infrequently, friends communicate. If I cease to text, call, or mail you as I once did, then you would logically have to question whether I was ever really your friend. Perhaps I just needed something from you; some gift, some talent, some self-affirmation.

I miss hearing from you. Life is so hurried and we are all so busy. May you forgive me if I have ceased to communicate? I renounce now any resentment or feeling of betrayal that may have resulted from the abrupt cutting off of communication. You are a righteous saint of God. He alone is all wise, holy, and the focus of our spiritual disciplines. May the grace of our Lord be with us like a healing stream, continuously, until the day of the Lord’s return when we shall be perfected in Him. Though I be not worthy of your favor, I desire it. May grace abound to us. Amen.

With This Ring I Thee Wed by Brian Hunter 11/9/14

A ring upon the sovereign hand of God (Jeremiah 3:14),

Forged ere before time was for His beloved (1 Peter 1:20, Revelation 13:8),

Reflects such glorious faithfulness entwined (Proverbs 27:19, 2 Corinthians 3:18),

As trusting babes feed hungrily (1 Peter 2:2-3), bells chime (Exodus 28:33-35).

The covenant thus signed in precious blood (Matthew 26:28, Mark 14:24, Luke 22:20)

Doth seal eternity for those inclined (2 Corinthians 1:22, Ephesians 1:13)

To harden not the heart drawn up by grace (Psalm 95:8, Hebrews 3:8-18)

Nor doubt the promises of heaven's call (2 Timothy 1:9, 1 Peter 2:21).

And at the feast prepared for all His saints (Matthew 22:8, Revelation 19:6-9)

A moment long-awaited with great hope (Matthew 24:4-5, 11:23-27, John 14:1-3),

All trials and suffering here proven to be (Romans 5:3, James 1:3)

No less than bricks in place upon the wall (Nehemiah 4:17). 

But oh, "It's hard," we say, fire purging dross

and purifying silver within hearts (Psalms 12:6).

The husbandman plows (John 15:1) yet throughout the night (Psalm 30:5)

For the joy so set before Him from the start (Hebrews 12:2).
