Where can I go from Your
Spirit? Or where can I flee fr
Your presence? If I ascend in
heaven, You are there; if I m
my bed in hell, behold, You
are there. If I take the wings
the morning, and dwell in th
uttermost parts of the sea, e
there Your hand shall lead m
and Your right hand shall ho
me. If I say, Surely the dark
shall fall on me, even the n
shall be light about me; ind
the darkness shall not hide
from You, but the night shin
as the day; the darkness and
the light are both alike to Yo
Psalm 139:712
If you havent experienced
Jesus loving presence, you
right now by accepting Him
your Savior and inviting Him
into your life. Simply pray:
Dear Jesus, I want to know Yo
and experience Your love. Ple
come into my heart, forgive m
wrongs, give me eternal life, alead me into a close personal
relationship with You. Amen.
