“Our Beloved”

Song of Solomon 2:8; Philippians 4:13, 19

Jesus the beloved, the consolation of Israel the founder and hope of the Church, let us adore the ever lovely one. He is the joy and peace of the upright, the chosen, the church of believers.

We are living in the Canaan era of the church, we have battles to fight, giants are everywhere, many idols tempt us. But there is food and refreshment all along the way to sustain us. This is summertime for us in the church, time to get out and tell of Christs’ altogether loveliness. Our soul seeks and desires to be close to our most precious one; the fairest of ten-thousand and the Chief among chiefs, our lily in the valley and Bright and morning star. To the church, He is our beloved, we love Him and speak of Him constantly; Our theme is, “Christ in us, the hope of Glory.”

Even the whole universe cannot separate us from the love of our Beloved One. No persecution, He suffered for us; no distress, He hung on the cross for us; No affliction, He gave His back to the smiters in our place; Perils were His lot, yet He shunned them not; The sword of defiance has been brought between Him and His church and prevailed not. Our boasting is in Him, and we can joyously say, “In all of these things, we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.” (Romans 8:37).

“The HomeLand”

Winters cold hand may cause us to strive, 

But nothing will stop the church in Her drive.

It’s upward and onward adoring saints, 

No place to sit idle, no time to faint. 

Learn to know the Master and His plan,

And we’ll finally rest in our happy homeland.

Weekly Memory Verses: Romans 5:1-5

Romans 5:1-5 ~ 1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2  By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3  And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4  And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5  And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. KJV
