Be strong and of good courage . . .
It is the LORD who goes before you;
He will be with you, he will not fail you or forsake you;
do not fear or be dismayed.
~ Deuteronomy 31:7, 8

Why should I feel discouraged? Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart feel lonely, And long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He;
His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me.
(from "His Eye Is on the Sparrow" by Mrs. C.D Martin)
