Favorite Scripture: Philippians 4:13 and Job 19:23-27

“I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength”

“Oh that my words were written!

Oh that they were recorded in a book!

That with an iron stylus and lead

They were engraved in the rock forever!

Yet as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,

And at the last, He will take His stand on the [d]earth.

Even after my skin [e]is destroyed,

Yet from my flesh I will see God,

Whom I, on my part, shall behold for myself,

And whom my eyes will see, and not another.

My heart faints within me!
