" overflowing -new every morning"

"This I recall to my mind,

Therefore I have hope.

Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,

Because His compassions fail not.

They are new every morning;

Great is Your faithfulness.

 “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,

“Therefore I hope in Him!”

Lamentations 3:21-24 (NKJV)

" the free life"

"But whoever catches a glimpse of the revealed counsel of God

—the free life!

—even out of the corner of his eye,

 and sticks with it, is no distracted scatterbrain

 but a man or woman of action.

 That person will find delight

 and affirmation in the action."

James 1:25(MSG)

"treasuries of the snow"

"Have you visited the vast,

 cold treasury where the snow is stored,

        or have you gazed on the shimmering, frozen armories where the hail is held,"

Job 38:22(VOICE)

"..True North.."

How did we ever wander so far
And where do we go from here?
How will we know where it is?
 True north

In the lingering night

We were never alone

We need an absolute compass

Now more than ever before

True north, true north

Dear Lord

True north

His shining light please show the way

Star in the night light as the day

(Twila Paris - True North Lyrics)

True North

"Brothers and sisters, continue to think about 

what is good and worthy of praise.

 Think about what is true and honorable 

and right and pure and beautiful and respected."

Philippians 4:8 (ERV)

" narrow gate.."

“Enter by the narrow gate;

 for wide is the gate and broad is the way 

that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate 

and difficult is the way which leads to life,

 and there are few who find it.

Matthew 7:13-14 (NKJV)

" swept away ..like a cloud.."

"I have swept away your wrongdoing, 

as wind sweeps a cloud from the sky:

        I have cleared you of your sins,

 as the sun clears the morning mist.

    I have rescued you; come back to Me."

Isaiah 44:22 (VOICE)

" it never fades nor ends.."

"Love bears all things [regardless of what comes], believes all things [looking for the best in each one], hopes all things [remaining steadfast during difficult times], endures all things [without weakening].

 Love never fails [it never fades nor ends]." 

1 Corinthians 13: 7-8 (AMP)

"The Lord rescues"

"The Lord’s people

    may suffer a lot,

    but he will always

    bring them safely through."

Psalm 34:19(CEV)

The assurance is that God is near us when our hearts are broken

and our spirits are crushed, whether we feel like it or not.

This is not a promise with conditions attached to it;it is a fact.

 (Wiersbe Comm.)

What is unseen!

"as we look not to the things that are seen

 but to the things that are unseen.

 For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal."

2 Corinthians 4:18(ESV)

This world is but a narrow span,and you shall soon half passed it.

 .....a narrow stream , and you shall soon have crossed it.
