TEACH ME HOW TO CLIMB - DEAR LORD

Teach me how to climb - dear Lord - with steady steps - higher up to You  - and
Help me walk in paths of Righteousness - so I may see with eyes of love - from
Your Heavenly point of view - and wash my hands and feet in the fountains - of 
Your refreshing Falls - so that mine will move as one with Yours - when  compassion 
Calls - may I walk along the beaten track that leads to Your embrace - where - one day -
Be it soon or late - I'll see You - face to loving face - and there I'll hear the voice of Him who
Gave His all - to cleanse and set me free - by the power of His poured out Blood - on a Hill
Called Calvary - then I will soar on eagle's wings - above the worldly lusts of idolatry and 
Care - into the courtyards of the LORD - and His pure 
Refreshing air .

The mountains may seem very steep - and the climb may be full of trials - but  Jesus is
My Guide who helps me cover all the weary miles -  I may not know the height or depth - but
I can be assured - that as I take each faltering  step - I can trust in my faithful Lord - for He has
Placed each foothold - He has marked the path - He has shone His lamp on the Devil's snares -
Hidden in the dark - therefore - I will not be afraid - as He knows - every twist and bend that I 
Take - and I can rest secure in Him - even though the mountains shake - for my life is hid in
Christ - in God - my Saviour - Friend and Guide - who keeps me safely near
His heart - and ever by His side . 

Dear friends - may I commend you - to the One who helps me through - the One who is waiting 
Patiently - to give His love and help to you - but - He is not a man that He should lie - or force His love
On anyone - but - if  you trust in His faithful promises - He will complete - the  work He has begun - His
Arms are always open to the weary and the lost - and He is gentle with the wounded hearts - who bear
A heavy cross - so turn to Him this hour my friend - before it is too late - when heaven's doors are
Closed  - and many will be left outside - weeping at the gate - but - heed this loving warning -
That I extend to you - for the Good Shepherd is reaching out right now -  to help you on
Your  journey home - and bring you
Safely through .

Don't waste one more moment before you turn to the Saviour ...tomorrow could be too
late my friend . He loves you and HE has a place waiting at His Banquet table with your 
name on it ... so don't turn your back on His offer to you today 

with love 

Stella X
