Treasuring Our Identity


Treasuring Our Identity

Many people are proud of their homeland.
Many are proud of their family name.
Some people like to be identified with
Celebrities of great fortune and fame.

Those of us who profess to be Christians
Should want to be identified with Christ.
Jesus Christ loved us and died for us.
For all our sins, Jesus was sacrificed.

Christians, let us treasure our identity.
For Christ, let us stand loyal and true.
Let us treasure doing what is right
In everything that we say and what we do.

Let us bypass the pleasures for a season,
And let us strive for an eternal reward.
Let us obey and serve our Savior daily,
And let's worship together in one accord.
Jan Bagwell
God Bless !
 

God Answers Prayer

God answers our prayers
not because we pray so good
but because He is a great God
and answers like He said He would
It's not flowery words or phrasing
that gets His attention to hear
but a sincere heart that seeks Him
is when He draws near
God listens to all our groanings
and knows our every need
He hears the cry of the poor and needy
and with compassion will take heed
