As
Christians we owe allegiance to Christ alone.
The
parents who brought us into this world do not define us.
The
nation we were born in does not define us.
The
language we speak does not define us.
The
color of our skin does not define us.
Christ
alone defines us.
It is
He Who created us.
It is
He Who lives inside of us.
It is
He Who has Saved us
Out of
this Dark and Wicked World
It is
He Who has given us Life and Light
And
brought us to Himself.
It is
He Who has prepared a Home for us.
It is
He Who loves us with an Eternal Love.
It is
He Who sustains us day by day, by His Spirit.
It is
He Who supplies our every material and spiritual need.
His
Kingdom alone is Eternal.
All
else is passing away,
And
one day soon will be no more.
We who
live in the Secret Place of the Most High God
Find
Rest in the Shadow of the Almighty.
I will
say of the Lord,
He is
my Refuge and my Fortress
My God
in Whom I Trust.
(Psalm
91)
The
Lord is my Shepherd,
I
shall lack nothing.
He
makes me lie down in green pastures,
He
leads me beside quiet waters,
He
restores my Soul.
He
guides me in paths of Righteousness
For
His Names sake.
Even
though I walk through the valley
Of the
shadow of death,
I will
fear no Evil,
For
You are with me;
Your
Rod and Your Staff,
They
comfort me.
You
prepare a table before me
In the
presence of my enemies.
You
anoint my head with Oil;
My cup
overflows.
Surely
goodness and love will follow me
All
the days of my life,
And I
will dwell in the House of the Lord forever.
(Psalm
23)
