Galatians 5:16-26
Thank You, Lord, for being so good to us. Thank You for the sacrifice that You made for us, Lord, so that we can come before You boldly to the throne of grace. Thank You that we can be free, not just as Americans, but as people; free to worship You, and free to walk with You, and free to have a relationship with You. Lord, I just pray for hearts today, that they would be open to hear from You. Speak to us, God, in mighty power from Your Word. We just want to hear. Dig out our ears and soften our hearts.

You know, it would have been very easy for this girl growing up in the 1800s to be bitter because of what happened to her, because some quack doctor took her eyesight away. But she never allowed herself to get bitter. And her parents taught her to trust God, and she did trust God. And God used her disability in such a great way. This woman grew up and she became the most prolific hymn writer that the world has ever seen. She wrote over 8500 hymns in her lifetime. We sing many of them today. "Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine." "Safe i ...
