Strength & Compassion…
Good morning beautiful people, good morning. Last week as I was looking through some of my writings from 2005 in preparation for the upcoming Healing Waters Women’s Conference 2017, this particular writing on Compassion brought me to my knees and on my face once again. Then right behind this writing, I had the words to a song Not Too Far From Here (Ty Lacy/Steve Siler).
I wanted to ask you today to pray the words of both of these with me. I wanted to ask you too to pray for this very important conference. Thanks so much.
Compassion (Angel L. Murchison)
My Sister, your countenance looks downcast, your face does reflect.
Your burden looks heavy, your load is it too much to carry alone?
For you, my friend, God sent His Son and He also sent me your way.
I’m His love extended to you. How can I help you today?
If you want to share your burden, I know Jesus will give you the strength to overcome.
You will have the victory.
As we journey the path of life together
We have many of trial.
Jesus gave you to me, my sister,
To love you and to be His love vial.
I want to help you bandage your wounds
until Jesus heals you where you hurt.
You see, my sister, my friend, we all walk through pain
And the storms they do blow.
But together with Jesus,
In Him, we both will grow.
Not Too Far From Here (Ty Lacy/Steve Siler)
Somebody’s down to their last dime
Somebody’s running out of time
Not too far from here
Somebody’s got nowhere else to go
Somebody needs a little hope
Not too far from here
And I may not know their name
But I’m praying just the same
That you’ll use me Lord to wipe away a tear
Cause somebody’s crying
Not too far from here
Somebody’s troubled and confused
Somebody’s got nothing left to lose
Not too far from here
Somebody’s forgotten how to trust
Somebody’s dying for love
Not too far from here
It may be a stranger’s face
But I’m praying for Your grace
To move in me and take away the fear
Cause somebody’s hurting
Not too far from here
Help me, Lord, not to turn away from pain
Help me not to rest while those around me weep
Give me Your strength and compassion
When somebody finds the road of life too steep.
Now, I’m letting down my guard
And I’m opening my heart
Help me speak Your love to every needful ear
Jesus is waiting
Not too far from here
Jesus is waiting
Not too far from here

Acts 1:8 NIV But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
Let it be so, oh God, let it be so. For your glory and your glory alone. Amen
Have a blessed day beautiful people. He loves you!
