January 15 ~
... Christ is all, and in all ... is everything and in everything ... in us all ... abide in Him ... For all the promises of God find their Yes in him ...Willing to Dare
A total trust that Thou wilt care for me
on Earth --
and fit me for eternity?
To have such trust depends upon my will!
Each doubting thought I must at once dare kill

believe Thou dost
fulfill God's promises: that they, Lord, all
will find their Yes in Thee, if I dare call,
dare look to Thee, abide in Thee by faith:
dare keep mine eyes fixed firmly on Thy face!
