\"\"<\/p>\n

Through the pages of a worn out book<\/h6>\n
I long to take just one more look<\/h6>\n
Faded cover, edges frayed<\/h6>\n
Tears stain the words, from where I\u2019ve prayed\u2026<\/h6>\n
Still, all its value I hold most dear<\/h6>\n
These stories inspired by God, who makes all things clear<\/h6>\n
Mysteries and secrets hidden from those who won\u2019t draw near\u2026<\/h6>\n
I read it day and night<\/h6>\n
To the one whose heart is true<\/h6>\n
Spirit, will reveal God\u2019s love to you\u2026<\/h6>\n
The author writes\u2026<\/h6>\n
I am the light\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
I do not change<\/em><\/h6>\n
I am always the same\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Men of old wrote the book you hold\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
But my words cannot be bought or sold<\/em><\/h6>\n
Living and breathing these words you read\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Life I\u2019ve planted in a tiny seed\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Grand oaks, and cypress, are glorious trees\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
They are living inside of thee\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
They spread their branches and bear much fruit<\/em><\/h6>\n
I am the way, the life, and the truth\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Open the book and read\u2026<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/h6>\n

Jeremiah 30:2 The Message (MSG) <\/strong>Don\u2019t Despair, Israel This is the Message Jeremiah received from <\/strong>God: \u201cGod\u2019s Message, the God of Israel: \u2018Write everything I tell you in a book.<\/h6>\n
Habakkuk 2:1-4 New King James Version (NKJV) <\/em><\/strong>I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart, and watch to see what He will say to me, and what I will answer when I am corrected.<\/em><\/h6>\n
The Just Live by Faith <\/em><\/strong>Then the Lord answered me and said: \u201cWrite the vision and make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. \u201cBehold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.<\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
