{This Is The Promise}

{I never said that I would give you silver or gold
Or that you would never feel the fire or shiver in the cold
But I did say you'd never walk through this world alone
And I did say, don't make this world your home

I never said that fear wouldn't find you in the night
Or that loneliness was something you'd never have to fight
But I did say I'd be right there by your side
And I did say I'll always help you fight

'Cause you know I made a promise that I intend to keep
My grace will be sufficient in every time of need
my love will be the anchor that you can hold onto
This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you

I never said that friends would never turn their backs on you
Or that the world around you wouldn't see you as a fool
But I did say like me you'll surely be despised
And I did say my ways confound the wise

I didn't say you'd never taste the bitter kiss of death
Or have to walk through chilly Jordan to enter into rest
But I did say I'd be waiting right on the other side

And I did say I'll dry every tear you cry

'Cause you know I made a promise that I've prepared a place
And some day sooner than you think you'll see me face to face
And you'll sing with the angels and a countless multitude
This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you

So just keep on walkin', don't turn to the left or right
And in the midst of darkness, let this be your light
That hell can't separate us and you're gonna make it through
This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you}

2 Peter 3:9

"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise..."

2 Corinthians 1:20

"For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us."

Titus 1:2

"In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;"

                                     

Im so thankful for all the promises of the Lord! There will never be a day that i will say "God, you promised and lied to me". The Lord ALWAYS keeps his promise. As the country preacher said, "The Lord is a perfect gentleman. He says His word and He keeps it." <3

*Soul-Winning*

Some people think that soul-winning is just something the church group does on Saturday mornings. It's true....that is soul-winning, but it goes beyond that. God calls us to reach others with the Gospel. (Mark 16:15 "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.") Notice how the verse says "all the world" People also tend to think that reaching souls for Christ/soul-winning means being a missionary in a foreign field. But wait...it says ALL. That means right where you're at too. This means your neighbors, relatives, coworkers, people at the grocery store, the grumpy business man you pass on the street. They all need Christ too. We have the Good News, the Blessed Hope, the answer to all life's problems: Christ. Why can't we share it with others? 

D.L. Moody once made a commitment to never go to bed until he witnessed to at least one person. He was said to have gone out at night   SEARCHING for someone to witness to. What if we were that fervent? What if we took soul-winning to that level?
