GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS

I am thankful this morning for our Freedom Fighter family and for your willingness to be a part of my life. I trust that our journey together is a good picture of "iron sharpening iron" as we grow more and more in our walk with the Lord.

I pray that the words of this hymn will be a good reminder today of God's faithfulness in your life and mine:

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God, my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not; As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hands have provided -- Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine with ten thousand beside!

Have a blest Thanksgiving.

Great quote:

"...all the graces of Christianity are at once imparted, in conversion...so that when one is bestowed (given) all are bestowed, and not a single one merely. A true convert, at the moment he is converted is possessed not of one or two, but of all holy principles, and all gracious dispositions. They may be feeble, indeed, like the faculties and powers of an infant, but they are all truly there, and will be seen flowing out progressively in every kind of holy feeling toward both God and man. In every real convert there are as many graces as there were in Jesus Christ himself." Jonathan Edwards, Charity and its Fruits
