Why Read the Bible?

Home » Blog » Why Read the Bible?

by Cheryl · In: Blog, Transformation · on Nov 2, 2010

My child, I’m with you, waiting to lighten your day with Truth.

Open yourself to freedom, joy, hope, health, & soul rest.

Bathe in My pages that spear each test.

Lean on Me when you can’t see.  I’ll help you over-stand.

Soak in grace.  I was poured in your place!

Truth seeps in the secret places, mending, brightening.

I stumbled through wrath to make your path secure.

Tiptoe close.  Absorb My sweet-somethings in your ear.

As the flower turns to the sun, or the dog to his master, so the soul turns to God.  – William Temple 

To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life.  Revelation 21:6
