Why should I doubt my Master's love
When He has saved me through His blood;
The riches of salvation given,
Withholding nothing, even heaven?
""Come take of my forgiveness now,""
The Kind One said and humbly bowed
Beneath the cross that brought Him shame
So I could know His matchless Name.
And then, He came to live within,
Erasing and forgiving sin;
And making me His wealthy heir
So all He has I now can share.
Forgive me, Lord, for senseless thoughts
That question you, when you have brought
Me every kindness I have known;
I worship now here before Your throne!

THE PROBLEM
… with most of us modern Christians is that we are stoppable. A little discomfort, a turn from our desired daily routine, or a little resistance from those to whom we’re witnessing throws us off. We have not settled the issue that our greatest joy and highest purpose comes from our witness, and so we are unwilling to push through in sharing Christ with others every day, even in the mildest environments. Even when persecution is not present.
These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer (Acts 1:14)
Prayer is the foundation for all of life. Imagine the emotions and sense of fear and expectancy when Christ had been resurrected, appeared to His disciples, and then ascended. They were instructed to merely wait for the coming of the Holy Spirit who would endue them with power to be witnesses to Christ all across the world (Acts 1:8).
So, what did they do?
