• “My soul remained in a kind of heavenly elysium. So far as I am capable of making a comparison, I think that what I felt each minute, during the continuance of the whole time, was worth more than all the outward comfort and pleasure, which I had enjoyed in my whole life put together. It was a pure delight, which fed and satisfied the soul. It was peasure, without the least sting, or any interruption. It was a sweetness, which my soul was lost in. It seemed to be all that my feeble frame could sustain, of that fulness of joy, which is felt by those, who behold the face of Christ, and share his love in the heavenly world.” – Sarah Edwards, wife of Jonathan Edwards

The Secret Depths by Michelle

Published June 14, 2018 | By womenofchristianity
There used to be this secret place
     that I harbored grief and despair.
My own little refuge where I was
    bound by grudging and resentments.
A secret place I called my own
    full of bitterness and anger.
 
But now….
                ….old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.  2 Cor. 5:17 
 
There is this place in which
    I enjoy the secret riches of Christ.  Is. 45:3
My refuge, my hightower
    a stronghold in the storms of life.  Nah. 1:7
A secret place filled with
   Christ within, my hope of glory. Col. 1:27
 
A wellspring of life.
Rest for the weary.
Hope for the hurting.
 
My Deliverer from Evil.
My Rescuer in the Night.
Christ Jesus,
And in Him Alone
I am able to stand.
 
So bury the hatchet and marry Christ, He is Lord of all in this life. 
 
Pursue peace with all men.
Bring honour, where honour is due.
 
Count it all dung, so that I may win Christ.
 
So turn to Christ and let Him be your Saviour instead of  YOU.
