O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go (George Matheson 1842-1906)
Dennis Edwards
George Matheson was a dedicated Christian youth. He had a girl friend and they were going to be married. But he had a problem with his eyes and finally the doctors analysis was he would go blind. George told his soon to be wife the sad news and she slipped her hands from his and responded, "But George, I can't be married to a blind man." And so the marriage was broken off and George dedicated his life to God and for twenty years he was a sucessful minister even blind.
How was it possible? His sister decided to dedicate her life to help her brother. She was George's eyes. She learned to read Greek, Hebrew and Latin to help George with his studies. George became a gifted speaker and minister of the Gospel, a Theological Doctor, much sought after. However, after twenty years his sister fell in love with another man and sadly left George to be married. It was at that occasion that George wrote the above poem of rededication to God no matter how difficult the cross may seem.
George confessed that the poem came to him in a moment and within a few minutes he had the whole written down. He said it was more like someone was dictating it to him. Later the musician who put it to music had a similar experience and received the music in the first moments he put his mind to it. Surely the Holy Spirit was directly the whole affair with the result of a beautiful heartbreaking song of submission and dedication to God.
1 O Love that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in thee;
I give thee back the life I owe,
That in thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.
2 O Light that follow'st all my way,
I yield my flick'ring torch to thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in thy sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
3 O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.
4 O Cross that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red,
Life that shall endless be.
OH AMOR QUE NO ME DEJARÁS
1 Oh,Amor que no me dejarás,
descansa mi alma siempre en ti;
es tuya y tú la guardarás,
y en el océano de tu amor
más rica al fin será.
2 Oh, Luz que en mi sendero vas,
mi antorcha débil rindo a ti;
su luz apaga el corazón
seguro de encontrar en ti
más bello resplandor.
3 Oh, Gozo que a buscarme a mí
viniste con mortal dolor,
tras la tormenta, el arco vi,
y ya el mañana, yo lo sé,
sin lágrimas será.
4 Oh, Cruz que miro sin cesar
mi orgullo, gloria y vanidad,
al polvo dejo por hallar
la vida que en su sangre dio
Jesús, mi Salvador.
Someone to Care!
Dennis Edwards
Here are the verses I share in the talk about friendship.
Proverbs 18:24 "A man that has friends must show himself friendly: but there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother."
John 15:15 "Henceforth I call you not servants, for the servant knows not what his Lord does, but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of My Father I have made known to you."
James 2:24 "And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness: and he was called the friend of God."
Isaiah 41:8 "But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend."
2 Chronicles 20:7 "Art not thou our God, who did drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gave it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?"
Proverbs 17:17a "A friend loves at all times."
You might want to watch this song called "I am a Friend of God." by a American Christian singer Israel Houghton. For those who need the lyrics to understand I uploaded the video with the words. You can find him on YouTube.

Could God use Joe Biden for Good? Divine Punishment and Julian the Apostate
Dennis Edwards
Marshall makes some good comparisons. If Biden does in fact go on to be President, he could help move things down the path of Biblical Prophecy by his globalistic stand, his pro-abortion beliefs, etc. Marshall believes Biden could be used to persecute the true believers, enforce mandatory vaccines, embrace the New World Order financial system etc. True believers will need to be ready to face persecution or penalization from an increasingly antichrist secular system. Don't let his overly Catholic jargon disturb you. He makes a lot of good points.

Dennis Edwards:
An interesting walk around the Temple Mount which shows that the Jewish people still have the aspiration to build their Third Temple on the Temple Mount.
