“From now on, let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.”

Have you ever watched ‘Rawhide’ ? In their cattle they had pride Ownership thus demanded Their cows had to be branded As a scar it will remain For all time and all terrain Its a mark of ownership So distinct on land or ship Persecuted, Paul felt sore The mark of Jesus he bore A stigma as a good slave Life for Jesus always gave Paul was beaten also stoned But by Christ he remained owned Perhaps Paul’s brand was a thorn To him given to be borne

Sufficient His grace to be Paul’s weakness, His strength to see If pray answers take longer Results will be much stronger Thomas faith was not that much Till Christ’s side and hands did touch When Christ nails were seen as brands Obeyed His father’s demands He came to save all sinners In His kingdom to be winners All the marks reveal the pain His salvation is all gain Once to Him we are restored All His blessings He has poured With Him we become whole In Christ’s body as one so

praying for the next generation

In Psalm 33 verse 12 we read that Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance. How deep is the message in this verse? Do we and our future generation perceive that this is the fulfillment of God's promise. What would one answer to our children in church if asked how is the great inheritance given to us, if this all happens when we pass away? I believe it requires faith and a life of prayer. So let's pray that our church together with our children pray for understanding of the word of God.. reading only is not enough. Having answers for biblical questions helps our children have a clearer direction in the will of God. Blessings.

There are times when couples are not comfortable with who they are. They would wish they are like the couple across the road or some family member this is prospering. This kind of thinking steals away God’s joy and contentment. God has established your home and your marriage, and that’s the life He wants you to live. Never look to other couples to measure your worth; look to God to fulfill your call. Don’t compare yourself with other couples to measure your happiness; compare your

obedience with God’s design on your life to measure your faithfulness. Become comfortable with your story, your identity as a couple. Relish it. Never compare it. Just be faithful to the unique vision God has given to the unique you (and that’s a plural you). God doesn’t need another couple just like one He already made. He is so much more creative than that. Rather, He wants to release and bless the unique couple that is you.
