The Lord-get to know Him
I want the world to know that the
Lord makes all things new. I am a
new being since the Lord and I
became good friends. It is only
through surrendering myself to the
Lord that I began to view the world
from a different perspective. Now I
see the Lord’s hand in all things. The
funny thing is, He loved me and
watched over me before I knew Him.
He had blessed me academically.
socially and in many other ways. So
for those who feel the Lord isn’t real
or has no control of their lives, get to
KNOW HIM. Let Him teach you and
you will also have a new view on
yourself and life.

P.S. Smile, God loves you!
Psalm 34
I will bless the Lord at all times: His
praise shall continuously be in my
mouth.
2. My soul shall make her boast in the
Lord; the humble shall hear thereof
and be glad.
3. O magnify the Lord with me, and let
us exalt His name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and He heard me,
and delivered me from all my fears.
5. They looked unto Him, and were
lightened; and their faces were not
ashamed.
6. This poor man cried, and the Lord
heard him, and saved him out of all
his troubles.
7. The angel of the Lord encamf>eth
round about them that fear Him, and
delivereth them.
8. 0 taste and see that the Lord is
good; blessed is the man that trusteth
in Him . . .
God loves us all
Do you know that God loves us all?
Let’s look at how. God offers the gift
of salvation to each and everyone of
us. Why?—Because He loves us. He
knows what’s best for our lives, if we
could only realive that! (We includes
me, too) Nevertheless, God doesn’t
force His will on ahyone. Now that
amazes me at times. Yet, I realize
that it’s because He loves us so much
that He respects our rights. However,
God is also righteous, and one day the
world will be judged according to His
righteousness. He is giving us all a
chance to receive salvation, but, if
when He returns to judge the world
we haven’t received His precious
offer of salvation, then Hell will be
our home. If we choose to go God’s
way we’ll have heaven as our
everlasting home. You and I both
need to think about this—
SERIOUSLY.
Darlene Smith
God is so good!
God is so good.
God is so good;
God is so good.
He’s so go^ to me!
The words to this simple little song
are so true! So many times, when I’m
down I think about the truth of these
words. God is with us . . . always!
Halleujah! What a promise!
Harriet Vess
Praise God!
All my life
I’d gone through life
Wondering what life
was about.
Caterpillars to butterflies
Their t>eauty born in death.
Stretch and yawn, a whole new start
and wing the sun’s warm breath.
This miracle to me now seems
To best express my cause—
To really live, you first must die.
Before starting you must stop and
pause.
Before the Lord you have but self
Before life you merely exist.
To really live you must be bom.
To continue you must persist.
Now I see there was no life
Before I came to live.
Therefore, no meaning could I find—
Without life there’s no meaning to
give.
In Christ alone is there peace.
In Him only will you find release.
Before he flew the catepiller crawled
And so it is for us all.
Praise God!!

The Lord is real!
The Lord is very real to me. Just
lately coming to college and meeting
new Christian friends I have felt His
presence nearer to me than ever. I
know that with Jesus by my side I
may stumble but never fall. He is
there for me and everyone who wants
Him, to turn to when the going gets
tough. I thank Him once again for
dying for me and giving me the
chance to live for Him.

Consider the Lillies
Alma Roberts
The lilies of the field
do little worrying about what
they will become.
The sparrows of the air are seldom
fretful
as each day unfolds.
It is I alone
who worry over unimportant things,
and in my worried, fearful state
I make myself unable to become
that which I fear I will not be!
Give Lavishly!
Helen Steiner Rice
The more you give
the more you get
The more you laugh
the less you fret—
The more you do
unselfishly
The more you live
abundantly . . .
The more of everything
you share
The more you’ll always
have to spare—
The more you love,
the more you’ll find
That life is good
and friends are kind .
For only what
we give away.
Enriches us
from day to day.
