Put on your new nature, and be renewed
as you learn to know your Creator
and become like him (Colossians 3:10; NLT).
1. May all my thoughts, Lord,
Be like yours,
2. And your love reign
Within my heart.
3. Please live forever
In my soul –
4. Then, though I’m weak,
I shall be whole.

AMEN.
I’ve said it before, but the scripture references (for me) are what make a Ruth Kirk post. Your words are always spot on and comforting, but the scriptures tie the message together like a bow on a present. God’s best to you, Ruth.
Hi David, thank you for your very kind comment. I think you’re the only person who has ever commented on the references. Knowing that you value them is very encouraging! XXXX
You are most welcome, Ruth! God Bless.
