“Abiding in the presence of God is learning to see Him in every situation.”  -Graham Cooke

  • My faith has found a resting place,
    Not in device nor creed;
    I trust the Ever-living One,
    His wounds for me shall plead.
  • I need no other argument,
    I need no other plea;
    It is enough that Jesus died,
    And that He died for me.

-Eliza Hewitt, 1891

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.  We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.  By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.  There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love. (1 John 4:15-18)
