In like a Lion, Out like a Lamb....

I heard that phrase today on the television.  The March weather has truly come in like a lion.  When the weatherman said that I thought....Jesus is my Lion, my Shepherd, my Saviour, my Friend.  He is there to protect, love, nurture; He gives wisdom, forgiveness, comfort, and understanding.  "Oh, how He loves us, oh, oh, how He loves us."  I'm so undeserving, I'm not worthy of His grace, yet in the lowest places of our lives, on the mountain tops of our lives, HE IS THERE!!!

And He's Ever Interceding

Someone to go the extra mile

Just like a mother caring for her child

A friend who sticks through thick and thin

No matter where you've been

Just like one great big family

A stronger older brother He will be

So quick and ready to defend

The younger, weaker 'til the end

And He's ever interceding to the Father for His children

Yes, He's ever interceding to the Father for His own

Through Him, You can reach the Father

So bring Him all your heavy burdens

Yes, For you He's interceding so come boldly to the throne

Just like sheep we've gone astray

Struggling 'neath the debt we could not pay

Not ever hoping to renew

The love and friendship that we once knew

But He began to intercede

Crying, "Father please forgive, I plead"

And as the nails pierced His hands

God once again reached out to man

My Bible verse is from The Message....I usually don't read this translation much, but today it hits it...points straight to where I am...

"Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God's Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don't know how or what to pray, it doesn't matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good."

Romans 8:26 (The Message)
