I WAS CONQUERED BY GRACE;
AS I WAS APPREHENDED BY THE TRUTH
AND FINALLY IMPRISONED BY LOVE!

WHEN I THINK OF THE PAST,
I REPLACE THE WORD PAST WITH THE WORD FAITH;
AND IT HAS A WHOLE NEW MEANING.
NO LONGER DO I REGRET THE PAST BUT TREASURE THE FAITH
THAT HE HAS GRACIOUSLY ALLOWED ME TO EXPERIENCE!

WHEN I THINK OF THE PRESENT,
I REPLACE THE WORD PRESENT WITH THE WORD CHARITY;
AND IT HAS A WHOLE NEW MEANING.
NO LONGER DO I HESITATE TO MAKE THE NEXT STEP BECAUSE HE IS GUIDING AND KEEPING ME IN THE MOMENT!

WHEN I THINK OF THE WORD FUTURE,
I REPLACE THE WORD FUTURE WITH THE WORD HOPE;
AND IT HAS A WHOLE NEW MEANING.
NO LONGER DO I FEAR THE FUTURE, BUT I HOLD FIRMLY TO
THE HOPE HE HAS PROMISED ME!

ANGER ONLY CONSUMES THE VESSEL WHICH CONTAINS IT !
ANGER IS AN ACID THAT DOES MORE HARM TO THE CONTAINER IN WHICH IT IS STORED; THAN ON THE ONE THAT IT IS POURED !
ANGER IS LIKE CEMENT, WHEN IT IS WET - IT'S EASY TO GET OUT OF IT; BUT WHEN IT SETS UP - IT SEALS EVERYTHING THAT IT HAS A HOLD ON ! THE FRUIT OF ANGER, WHICH HAS BEEN KNOWN AS REVENGE, TO DAY HAS A NEW NAME; IT IS CALLED: " CLOSURE "

I TRUST ONLY IN WHO I'VE SEEN, I TRUST ONLY IN WHO I'VE HEARD;
ALL I EVER NEED IS THE TRUTH, ALL I EVER NEED IS YOUR WORD !

WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE HIM ! BECAUSE YOU MUST FIRST BELIEVE HE IS, AND IS A REWARDER OF HIM WHO BELIEVES IN HIM !

While With Such Devotion He Looked Up To The Father
and With His Last Breath He Said: " It Is Finished "
for He had consumed the drink that was intended for me!

What ever is not of Faith is Sin !
