We are never alone with Jesus,
We have no reason to ever fear.

For He promised He’d always be near.
No matter where He may lead us,
No matter what problem we face,
No matter how daring the mission-
He provides His marvelous grace.

A few weeks ago I was working with Bridge town ministries and we were washing homeless people’s feet underneath the Burn Side Bridge. I know that Christ desires to touch and hold and love all those people. When I see those homeless people I am scared and I feel awkward and uncomfortable thinking

Sin is a blasting presence, and every fine power shrinks and withers in the destructive heat. Every spiritual delicacy succumbs to its malignant touch...
