Tell me something new . . . . pa-lease!

Tell me something new   . . . .  pa-lease!


2 Tim. 1:13-14

HOLD FAST [keep and don’t let go of] THE PATTERN [the plan] OF SOUND TEACHING [the principles of the Plan of Salvation] WHICH YOU HAVE HEARD from me,

IN ALL FAITH [which recognizes the teaching] AND LOVE [which simplifies the teaching to live it out] that are for us in Christ Jesus.

GUARD [keep with the greatest care] THE PRECIOUS TRUTH WHICH HAS BEEN ENTRUSTED TO YOU,
BY THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT Who makes His home in us.
-------------------------

Pray the Word:
Lord, to some the STORY of SALVATION THROUGH JESUS CHRIST may grow old and tiresome, and they feel that they need to add something ‘new’ to it; but, we who have been saved by grace never grow tired of hearing THE OLD, OLD STORY which not only comforts, assures, and edifies, but is the highest motivation for greater love, holiness and service to You.
--------------------------------
[Hymn written in 1866]
I love to tell the story, for those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song,
’Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long.
I love to tell the story, ’twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.

Thank you for reading my blog of thoughts, encouragement and instructions the Lord speaks about to me. It is simply my therapy to write down these things as I walk my journey out with Him. I would love to hear back from you. Each new day is a blessing! Dorothy
