Weekly Inspiration (10/27/23)

Quote of the Week

“Our quiet, steady, unwavering commitment to Jesus Christ may inspire in others a curiosity and a desire to understand and embrace this faith. The way we live, the way we speak, the way we serve, the way we love and honor one another and those whom we meet, may inspire someone we hardly know to seek God by exploring the Christian way.”

Poem of the Week

I Am Not My Own
by Keith & Kristyn Getty

The One who made the heavens, made my heart and soul
Before I drew a breath, I was loved and known
I am His creation, the Maker's masterpiece
And all that He designs will be done in me
My body is a temple of the living God
I'll worship in this house that His blood has bought
As I bear His image, oh, may I not profane
The holiness I hold in this earthly frame
And if He has redeemed me, I am not my own
The measure of my worth is His love alone
He declares my standing, and He declares my state
So I will know myself by the name He gave
I am not my own and now my heart is free
O Maker, come and make what You will of me
There is nothing broken that You cannot repair
So Lord, I leave my life in Your loving care
I know that I belong to the Lord,
Oh, I am not my own
I belong to the Lord, I am not my own
I will honor Him for this I know
I belong to the Lord, I am not my own
