"What is your only comfort in life and in death? That I am not my own, but belong body and soul, in life and in death to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ. Christ has fully paid for all my sins with His precious blood, and has set me free from all the power of the devil. He also watches over me in such a way that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven; in fact, all things must work together for my salvation. Because I belong to Him, Christ, by His Holy Spirit assures me of eternal life and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for Him."

Encouraging words from a long time ago
At church on Sunday we read a question from the Heidelberg catechism. It is so interesting to me that words written by men 100s of years ago could still ring so true to me, a little housewife, today in 2008. I guess there really is nothing new under the sun! I hope that this reminds you, as it did me, of our Father's love for us and the security we have in this life, and the next, in Him. The last line was especially convicting to me--this security should spur me on to live my life for Him in every moment!
