                       I Alone Remain


    "In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and 
    the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but 
    You remain, they will all wear out like a garment. Like 
    clothing You will change them and they will be discarded. 
    But You remain the same, and Your years will never end."
	-- Psalm 102:25-27


I am with you, My Children, and My faithfulness will keep you. You 
have looked for signs of support, of things in which you can place
your trust. You have watched to see My provision with your eyes, but 
My gifts are given to those who trust Me in faith. 

Your redemption is not in what you have or in what I give, but it 
is in Me. I alone am what you need. You will find fulfillment in 
nothing other, for I alone am the way to life.

So often My children hunger after things they think will satisfy, 
but they only bring death when they take My place in your lives. 
Trust in Me to provide what you need: life, peace, strength and 
favor. All else will perish and pass away. I alone remain.
