cry of love

Borning Cry
1.
I was there to hear your borning cry, 
I'll be there when you are old.
I rejoiced the day you were baptized to see your life unfold,
I was there when you were but a child, with a faith to suit you well; in a blaze of light you wandered off to find where demons dwell.

2.
When you heard the wonder of the Word I was there to cheer you on; were raised to praise the living Lord, to whom you now belong. If you now find someone to share your time and you join your hearts as one, I be there make your verses rhyme from dusk till rising sun.

3.
In the middle ages of your life, not too old, no longer young, I'll be there to guide you through the night, complete what I've begun. When the evening gently closes in and you shut your weary eyes, I'll be there as I have always been with just one more surprise.

4.
I was there to hear your borning cry, I'll be there when you are old.
I rejoiced the day you were baptized, to see your life unfold.

John Carl Ylvisaker, born into a family of Lutheran pastors and leaders, he casually wrote this hymn and presented it in comfortable setting and it grew in popularity and acclaim. 

There is not a more moving hymn that shows us God's perspective on our lives, from cradle to grave. This hymn reminds us of God’s divine presence giving us purpose and guidance. Outlining the stages of life we can see that God is with us the whole time. In the right time and place this hymn will move you to tears as you begin to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, that we are part of GOD’S family!

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

sheep and goats

Matthew 25:31-33 "31 When the Son of man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory: 32 And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left." Coming off last week's study of the Last Supper, we begin to understand that we all betray Jesus in small ways and sometimes in very large ways. We should not let this turn us away from GOD. We need to return to Jesus, seeking a deeper and stronger relationship with God, and embrace the grace and forgiveness offered. We need to repent and confess our sins. We want to become better at being obedient to God's teachings we learn about in the pages of the Holy Bible. Today we return to the Gospel of Matthew, seeking to learn more from our Lord and Savior. Chapter 25 contains several parables and teachings of Je...
