As Safe as I Can Be

In Jesus—I am as safe as I can be and very happy—a sinner saved by Grace! Free grace and free love is all my theme.

In the past week I have had deep conflict, many storms—but sweet interminglings of Mercy. I feel weak and faint, as if the journey were too great for me. But my Dear LORD will sustain me. I am the poorest worm—and must let fall my whole weight upon You, my Precious Savior. LORD, help me on and help me home! “But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.” (Isaiah 43:1-3)
