INTO THE PATIENT WAITING...

This is for you Anne in Peru... ...I think of you often, pray for you often, and miss the sweet fellowship we often share together. The Lord is teaching you so much in Peru! Continue to let Him be your Guide, your Instructor, and your Light. Might people see in you, as I see in you, our Savior's love and compassion for this whole world; a world that is lost in sin, a world that is searching for love, and a world that will only be truly satisfied when they draw from the Living Water, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Thought I would share it with each of you readers, might it encouraged your hearts and strengthen you in the inner man --- Gravely the priest in his arms takes the lamb, Ready to give a most thorough exam. Under its wool, in its mouth, and its ears, Probing to check it's as pure as appears. Finally he states the results of his quest: "This lamb no fault has I firmly attest." For only such could God's judgment restrain; Anything less would be offered in vain. Year after year the blood freely did flow, Yet still the debt for our sin we did owe. Only a perfect man's blood could erase, Our stain of sin so it's gone without trace. But there existed no man that'd suffice, And even so, who would pay such a price? - Then one day God sent His Son as a Man, Setting in motion His salvation plan. Keenly they watched Him from babe to adult,
