Dear servants of Jesus Christ




Dear servants of Jesus Christ,

You do well to remember this:

Tough times are going to come

To all who carry His banner.

Opposition to your endeavors

May nearly overwhelm,

Discouragement may drop

Like a concrete block.

But this is a fact sacrosanct --

Our Master's ministering angels,

Of which there are legion,

Hover about us day and night

And outnumber far and far outdo

Whatever the devil's helpers try to do.

Christ will always be victorious.

You and I can count on this.

More, Christ-following empowers.

Life becomes simpler, happier,

Much more blessedly free

Of those things that clog our path,

Just the way our heavenly Father

Wants it to  be.
