There is no place as sweet at rest in our Heavenly Father’s care.  When all our efforts are laid aside and we look to the One that empowers us to do whatever He asks us to do.  I have found the sweet embrace of faith cannot be enjoyed when self and selfish ways are in control.

Faith’s Embrace

By faith I see God smiling when I come in prayer.
I know that as I bow my heart He is already there.
Because of my right-standing, I am acceptable in His sight
By faith I cause Him delight.
The Word says I cannot fathom the love He has for me.
He loved me and died for me before I believed.
So here I am my Lord, your redeemed ready to serve.
I am amazed at Your care and the promises in Your Word.
I believe so I will receive blessings unmeasured.
You are my God and my heart’s greatest treasure.
By faith I entrust to you my life;
Fashioned to be more and more Christ-like.
I thank Holy Spirit that comforts and assures it is true:
In my God’s embrace of faith I breathe and move.

Acts 17:28
For in him we live, and move, and have our being;

Psalms 139:5-6
Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
