O, what have they done

He died for you and me.
The tomb now empty,
where can He be?

Life is not always easy.
Life is not always easy,
It can often be very hard.
Through every day troubles
trials and the like;
we are tested most days
of our lives.
We are persecuted often,
and wonder, ''Why me''?
But let us remember
the Lord Jesus Christ,
who died for you and me.
He was hurt and persecuted often
but still he carried on.
He died so we may be forgiven,
and also that we may have life.
We sit and often grumble
for many people to hear,
but let us remember our Lord Jesus
Christ;
remember His love for you and me.
So when we think everything is upon us,
and feel a little bit low,
look around and see the beauty
he gave us, in everything that
grows.
His love will never fail us.
It always will be there,
He will always listen to our
worries;
and show us that He cares.

Jesus' Resurrection
Isaiah 53:12
He poured out His soul unto death, and He was numbered
with the transgressors, and He bore the sins of many.
Is God aloof from human pain
that ravages our mortal frame?
Oh, no, Christ felt our agony
when sin and death He overcame! (D. De Haan)
Christ's empty tomb guarantees our victory over sin and death.
He poured out His soul unto death, and He was numbered
with the transgressors, and He bore the sins of many.
Is God aloof from human pain
that ravages our mortal frame?
Oh, no, Christ felt our agony
when sin and death He overcame! (D. De Haan)

Show love even in a small way
Matthew 10:42
And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one
of these little ones, because he is my disciple I tell the
truth, he will certainly not lose his reward.
How much we love God can be shown by how well we treat others.
Jesus here gives an example, by giving a thirsty child a cup of
cold water. This shows an unselfish attitude,because a child
normally can't return a favour. When we show love towards a
person we should not expect something in return.
God notices every good deed we do or don't do, as if He were the
one receiving it.
Can you think of something unselfish that you can do for someone today? Although no-one else may see you, God will notice.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation`
Psalm 51 :12
Restore to me the gift of your salvation and grant
me a willing spirit to sustain me.
Do you ever feel that you are just going through the motions in
your faith? Has your sin ever driven a wedge between you and God, making him seem like a million miles away?
David felt this way. In Psalm51, David pleads for mercy, forgiveness and cleansing. God wants us to be close to him,
but we have to confess our sins. If we do not, fellowship and
closeness to God is impossible.
God has never said everything will be a bed of roses. You may have to face some problems, but God will give back the joy of
your relationship with him.

God gives Mercy
Psalm32:10
Many sorrows shall be to the wicked; but he who trusts in
the Lord, mercy shall surround him.
In You, O Lord, we take delight,
our every need You can supply;
we long to do what's true and right,
so, Lord, on You we will rely.
Present choices determine future rewards.

Upon The Cross
I write this down to
let you know,
of one who died
for you and me.
Upon the cross they
laid him there,
so that new life would
be given to you and me.
My mind now thankfully
at peace.
My heart filled with
joy,
knowing he is there
within me.
This he will also do for
you,
If you care to call upon
our Lord.
Just kneel and speak
with Him today,
no-one needs to hear
you pray.
He is your friend,
please don't forget.

Why Do We Pray? (Adapted from Jesus' Blueprint For Prayer)
Any thoughtful person wrestling with prayer asks, ''Why pray at all?'' Is the basic purpose of prayer to get things from God? George
MacDonald offered this rationale for prayer.
What if God knows prayer to be the thing we need first and most? What if the main object in God's idea of prayer is a supplying of our great, our endless need- the need of Himself?....
Communion with God is the one need of the soul beyond all
other need. Prayer is the beginning of that communion, of talking
with God, a coming-to-one with Him, which is the sole end of
prayer, yea, of existence itself.
God wants us for Himself. He desires communion with us. His
purpose in prayer is not to make us sit up and beg. He wants us
to know Him. Prayer is His method to accomplish that.
But sometimes when we pray we concentrate on the gifts in God's
hand and ignore the hand of God Himself. We pray fervently
for a new job, or for the return of health. When we gain the prize,
we are delighted. And then we have little more to do with God.
God's hand serves only a way to pay the rent, heal the sickness,
or get through a crisis. After the need has been met, the hand
itself means little to us.
While God in His grace does give good gifts to His children, He
offers much more than that. He offers us Himself. Those who
are merely satisfied with the trinkets in the Father's hand miss the
best reward of communicating and communing with the God of
the universe.
God has made Himself known through His Son Jesus Christ, who
died on the cross and rose again to pay the penalty for our sin.
If you don't know Christ as your Saviour, go to Him in prayer-
maybe for the first time- confess your sin, and receive the forgiveness you need. John3:16 says:
For God so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should
not perish but have everlasting life.
When you accept Jesus' salvation, you'll begin that all-important
communication with God, which is as essential to your spiritual
well-being as breathing is to your physical life.

In the day of my trouble
Psalm 86:7
In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer.
What great expectation! What great faith! David had no doubts
in God. He knew that God would help him in his troubles.
Let true faith in God be our guide. Let us trust Him in all areas
of our lives.

But when he saw the wind he was afraid
Matthew 14:30-31
But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and beginning
to sink cried out, ''Lord save me!'' Immediately Jesus
reached out his hand and caught him. ''You of little faith,
he said. Why did you doubt?''
Like Peter we also sometimes take our eyes of Jesus. It is often
then that our faith falters. This doesn't mean we have failed.
When Peter's faith faltered he reached out to Christ, the only one
who could help. He was afraid, but he still looked to Christ for
help.
If we are anxious about our troubles and worries, and doubt Christ's
ability to help. Please remember that he and he alone is the only
one who can really help.
