Some of us are a little faint hearted when we see how we fall short<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/div>\n
of His Glory because He is a Holy God.<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/div>\n
Also the stresses and afflictions of this present age can weigh us down too.<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/div>\n
The following are several scriptures I have placed together from<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/div>\n
different translations to bring out the richness because no English<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/div>\n
translation can bring out the fullness of the original Greek.<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/div>\n

Into a soft touch of His Presence. He Loves You today.<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/div>\n
