Press On

Those two little words came to my mind today.
I think about Zacchaeus who pressed through
the crowd and climbed a tree so that he might
see Jesus... The woman who pressed through
the crowd to touch the hem of His garment...
The four men who didn't give up when there
was no other way but took their sick friend
down through the roof to reach Jesus......
Blind Bartimaeus who kept on calling upon
the name of Jesus even though when many told
him to be quiet....Paul said, "I press toward
the mark of the prize of the high calling of
God in Christ Jesus"'

God is calling each of us to press on in our
walk with Him. He knows all about your
circumstances..your broken heart, your fears,
your loved ones, your weakness, your health ....
May you press on in faith until you know
beyond the shadow of a doubt that you have
touched Jesus and that He has touched you.

The Anthem: You Are Mine
I will come to you in the silence, I will lift you from all your fear,
You will hear my voice,
I claim you as my choice,
Be still and know I am here.
Do not be afraid, I am with you.
I have called you each by name.
Come and follow me,
I will bring you home;
I love you and you are mine.
I am hope for all who are hopeless,
I am eyes for all who long to see.
In the shadows of the night,
I will be your light,
Come and rest in me.
I am strength for all the despairing,
healing for the ones who dwell in shame;
All the blind will see,
the lame will all run free,
and all will know my name.
I am the Word that leads all to freedom,
I am the peace the world cannot give.
I will call your name,
embracing all your pain,
Stand up, now walk, and live!
