And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
Matthew 24:12-13 (KJV)
Mercy!
Mercy!
Mercy!
But how can one stand in these last days, it seems our flames are small and our lights are dim. Like homeless beggars we strive to warm our cold numb fingers around small, dim lit, candles hoping to obtain full warmth for our bodies and souls. Many delights of this present world offer us warmth but none seem to satisfy us for very long. And after awhile, our hearts bring us back to remember you, your love, your companionship.
In the midst of death I remember life.
In the abundance of many things I remember the joy of abiding only in you.
In the roar of all these present voices, I long for your word.
Remember me oh Lord, look upon me once again, remember your child and have pity. for I do need your presence in my life.
Can a man and woman in love live apart? No! Now that they know each other things are not the same, and things cannot be as if they never were. The longing for each other would be too great, and if the wait is too long, then the vexation would break them!
Yea Lord, I desire your flame. Do not forget me lest I be broken too deep. I fear, that if I wander alone in the cold dark woods too long I will be forever lost. Save me Father! Call my name!
Mercy!
Mercy!
Mercy!
