"THY PRESENCE"

"THY CALMNESS BENDS SERENE ABOVE MY RESTLESSNESS TO STILL; AROUND ME FLOWS THY QUICKENING LIFE, TO NERVE MY FALTERING WILL; THY PRESENCE FILLS MY SOLITUDE; THY PROVIDENCE TURNS ALL TO GOOD."


                                                            -SAMUEL LONGFELLOW

THE COMFORT OF YOUR HEART

                                                        COMFORT


"WHEN YOUR HEART IS SAD AND LONELY, AND YOUR FRIENDS SEEM FAR AWAY, TURN TO HIM WHO IS ALL HOLY, AND HE'LL DRIVE YOUR CARES AWAY. WHEN A DEAR ONE SEEMS TO FAIL YOU, WHEN FOR FRIENDSHIP TRUE YOU LONG, CONFIDE IN HIM WHO IS ALL TRUE, AND HE'LL RIGHT YOUR EVERY WRONG. JESUS' HEART IS YOUR TRUE REFUGE, TO HIM YOU CAN ALWAYS FLEE, EVEN WHEN YOUR HOPES ARE SINKING, HE WILL THEN A TRUE FRIEND BE. HE WILL SOOTHE YOUR LONELY SPIRIT, HE WILL LOVE AND BLESS AND SAY, "COME TO ME AND I WILL COMFORT YOU, TODAY AND EVERY DAY."

LETTERS IN PARADISE.

"THE BIBLE CONTAINS THE MIND OF GOD, THE STATE OF MAN, THE WAY OF SALVATION, THE DOOM OF SINNERS, AND THE HAPPINESS OF BELIEVERS. ITS DOCTRINES ARE HOLY, ITS PRECEPTS ARE BINDING, ITS HISTORIES ARE TRUE, AND ITS DECISIONS ARE IMMUTABLE. READ IT TO BE WISE, BELIEVE IT TO BE SAFE, AND PRACTICE IT TO BE HOLY. IT CONTAINS LIGHT TO DIRECT YOU, FOOD TO SUPPORT YOU, AND COMFORT TO CHEER YOU. IT IS THE TRAVELER'S MAP, THE PILGRIM'S STAFF, THE PILOT'S COMPASS, THE SOLDIER'S SWORD, AND THE CHRISTIAN'S CHARTER. HERE PARADISE IS RESTORED, HEAVEN OPENED, AND THE GATES OF HELL DISCLOSED."


#READ THE WORDS OF GOD, STUDY AND WRITE LETTERS IN PARADISE.

I LOVE TO TREAT MYSELF LIKE A CROWN JEWEL

"I LOVE MYSELF, THE PERSON, THE WOMAN I HAVE GROWN INTO. I LOVE TO TREAT MYSELF ON EVERY OCASSION. I WILL TREAT MYSELF TO JEWELRY, CLOTHES, COATS, HANDBAGS, SHOES, PERFUMES SETS, FLOWERS, A NICE DINNER, A NICE BREAKFAST AT A NICE RESTAURANT. I DO ALL THESE THINGS FOR MYSELF BECAUSE I LOVE ME."
