. . . I don't claim that I know everything about life. But one thing I am certain that apart from the love and mercies of Christ—I AM NOTHING. " But God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world."(Galatians 6:14). All to JESUS I surrender. . .all to Thee my Blessed Savior. . .I surrender all. Thank YOU my Precious LORD JESUS for all Your blessings in my life. I love YOU, and thank YOU for loving me first. Forever Yours--Erlinda Mejia Olson

The Lord Has Heard My Plea

By: Erlinda Mejia-Olson

PSALM 118:5-6 ~ "I called on the LORD in distress; The LORD answered me and set me in a broad place. The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"

Oh LORD, my Savior and my God!
Your servant's heart is rejoicing!
My voice cried out for Your mercy
You answered me and set me on high.

The snares of life have tempted me,
To disbelief and to doubt You,
But Your stubborn love, Oh LORD—
Has gripped this weary soul of mine.

My faith in You has saved me,
Leaving me with Your sweet assurance—
"I will never leave you nor forsake you."
A promise, You will be on my side.

I am tired of being afraid, Oh LORD!
So I am casting all of  life's battle—
They are all now for Yours to keep;
The LORD is on my side "I will not fear."

"What can man do to me?"
The wrath of  man and his evil intentions
Have no power over You LORD;
For You are my God the Almighty!

You are my Father and I am Your child
My home is in Heaven — my mansion awaits
At the foot of my Blessed Savior
My eternal bliss — forevermore!

My heart, Oh LORD, will always be grateful to Your goodness whatever befalls.  Thank You for being my God and my Savior!
