From Glory to Glory

Written by Joyce C. Lock


When I consider thy heavens,repparttar work of thy fingers,repparttar 126572 moon andrepparttar 126573 stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? andrepparttar 126574 son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower thanrepparttar 126575 angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion overrepparttar 126576 works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet.

They shall fear thee as long asrepparttar 126577 sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. He shall come down like rain uponrepparttar 126578 mown grass: as showers that waterrepparttar 126579 earth. In his days shallrepparttar 126580 righteous flourish; and abundance of peace so long asrepparttar 126581 moon endureth. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and fromrepparttar 126582 river untorepparttar 126583 ends ofrepparttar 126584 earth.

Blow uprepparttar 126585 trumpet inrepparttar 126586 new moon, inrepparttar 126587 time appointed, on our solemn feast day.

Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne asrepparttar 126588 sun before me. It shall be established for ever asrepparttar 126589 moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. He appointedrepparttar 126590 moon for seasons:repparttar 126591 sun knoweth his going down. The sun shall not smite thee by day, norrepparttar 126592 moon by night.

True Love

Written by Joyce C. Lock


Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not evenrepparttar publicansrepparttar 126571 same? And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be asrepparttar 126572 hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing inrepparttar 126573 synagogues and inrepparttar 126574 corners ofrepparttar 126575 streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. No man can serve two masters: for either he will haterepparttar 126576 one, and loverepparttar 126577 other; or else he will hold torepparttar 126578 one, and despiserepparttar 126579 other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Thou shalt loverepparttar 126580 Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this isrepparttar 126581 first commandment. And to love him with allrepparttar 126582 heart, and with allrepparttar 126583 understanding, and with allrepparttar 126584 soul, and with allrepparttar 126585 strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another; If ye love me, keep my commandments. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. Asrepparttar 126586 Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another. Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilledrepparttar 126587 law. For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion torepparttar 126588 flesh, but by love serve one another. For allrepparttar 126589 law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Butrepparttar 126590 fruit ofrepparttar 126591 Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. According as he hath chosen us in him beforerepparttar 126592 foundation ofrepparttar 126593 world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, And to knowrepparttar 126594 love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with allrepparttar 126595 fulness of God. But speakingrepparttar 126596 truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which isrepparttar 126597 head, even Christ: From whomrepparttar 126598 whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according torepparttar 126599 effectual working inrepparttar 126600 measure of every part, maketh increase ofrepparttar 126601 body untorepparttar 126602 edifying of itself in love. And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship ofrepparttar 126603 Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, havingrepparttar 126604 same love, being of one accord, of one mind. That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches ofrepparttar 126605 full assurance of understanding, torepparttar 126606 acknowledgement ofrepparttar 126607 mystery of God, and ofrepparttar 126608 Father, and of Christ. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered torepparttar 126609 saints, and do minister.
