A loving Friend in Jesus

                        - Composed by Anju Elza George

Through the vast sea of life during the journey,

A lovely little boat is sailing in the sea;

With all its calm and glory,

Sails on with just two - yes, Jesus and me!

 

Through waves and tides, so fierce and rise-

Through my heart, so quiet and calm;

In his hands He’ll care and guide,

Through the right path, so sure I am.

When the little stars in the blue black sky,

looks from above with their shining eye;

I felt so small from far so high,

and wish to get two wings and fly.

 

When in my life, I am sad and wan,

When the thunderstorms try to divert my belief;

There’s a friend who does what He can,

To console me with all sorts of relief.

 

When my little heart fills with worries,

When my soul wrinkles like the skins of a crone;

His shining rays of love and peace,

Lighten me whenever I am all alone.

 

Jesus is my friend from dusk to dawn,

In good or bad, He shines like Sol;

He’s with me since the time I was born,

He’s my heart, my soul and all!

A Call for Spiritual Growth

It is funny and interesting to note that Paul spoke about spiritual maturity to the Jewish believers who were part of the first century church for so long. These believers were spiritually dull and they would not listen to the mature teachings of Paul. They were like babies who needed milk and could not eat solid food. In this passage, Paul goes on to share ways to kill being spiritually dull and indifferent.  

1.    Christians ought to teach others rather than just being taught. (Heb 5:12a)

2.    Christians need to move over from the basic teachings about Christ to deeper understandings. (Heb 6:1)

3.    Christians must self-evaluate. (Heb 6:4)

4.    Christians must strive to bear good fruit. (Heb 6:7,8)

5.    Christians must keep on loving others as long as life lasts in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true. (Heb 6:11) 

6.    Christians must follow the example of those who are going to inherit God’s promises because of their faith and endurance (Heb 6:12) 

 

The last two points encourage us to avoid isolating us from our fellow Christians and grow with them instead. Do you feel spiritually dull?
