A member of IFBKJV.com's Blog Directory recently posted 50 Reasons Why I Love The Lord to mark their fiftieth year of salvation on their blog. What a great idea.
How many years have you been saved? Can you think of that many reasons why you love your Lord? I am going to make this an interactive post with Mr. Linky using the "Monday Memories" meme.
If you participate in this blog topic meme on the reasons you love the Lord (relating to the number of years you have been saved), please post the url below so others can read your reasons.

My New Favorite Song!
Many years ago I gave my heart to You,
I humbly asked You, Lord, to lead in all I'd do;
But now the burdens seem so heavy You've given me to bear,
Before I press on any farther, I need to know that You're still there.
ch Lord, if Your presence go not with me, I don't want to go;
And if Your Spirit is not leading me, Lord, I need to know.
You have placed me here, I'll do Your will, Your love I'll try to show;
But if Your presence go not with me I don't want to go.
2. You've been so good to me I don't mean to complain:
You've healed my heartaches, dried my tears, and soothed my pain.
And I'm still willing, Lord, to follow, no matter where You lead;
I'm only asking for assurance that You'll still be near to me.
ch Lord, if Your presence go not with me, I don't want to go;
And if Your Spirit is not leading me, Lord, I need to know.
You have placed me here, I'll do Your will, Your love I'll try to show;
But if Your presence go not with me I don't want to go.
3. He said, "My child, I have a place for you, and here you can abide;
I'll be your Friend, your Cleft, I'll cover you, I'm still your Faithful Guide,
I'll keep you safe through all your storms and doubts, in Me you can confide -
I have a special place for you, my child, it's here close by My side.
I'll keep you safe through all your storms and doubts, in Me you can confide -
I have a special place for you, my child, it's here close by My side.

Are You a Soldier?
I am a soldier in the army of my God. The Lord Jesus Christ is my Commanding Officer, the Holy Bible is my code of conduct. Faith, prayer and the Word are my weapons of warfare. I have been taught by the Holy Spirit, trained by experience, tried by adversity, and tested by fire. I am a volunteer in this army, and I am enlisted for eternity. I will either retire in this army or die in this army, but I will not get out, sell out, be talked out of, or be pushed out. I am faithful, reliable, capable, and dependable. When my God needs me, I am there. I am a soldier, I am not a baby. I do not need to be pampered, petted, picked up, or pepped up. I am a soldier! No one has to call me, remind me, write me, visit me, entice me, or lure me, I am a soldier! I am not a wimp, I am in place saluting my King, obeying His orders, praising His name, building His Kingdom. No one has to send me flowers, gifts, food, cards, candy, or give me handouts. I do not need to be cuddled, cradled, cared for, or catered to, I am committed! I cannot have my feelings hurt bad enough to turn me around. I cannot be discouraged enough to turn me aside, I cannot lose enough to cause me to quit. When Jesus called me into this army I had nothing, if I end up with nothing, I will come out even. I will WIN! My God will supply all my needs. I am more than a conqueror. I will always triumph. I can do all things through Christ. Devils cannot defeat me, people cannot disillusion me, weather cannot weary me, sickness cannot stop me, battles cannot beat me, money cannot buy me, government cannot silence me, Hell cannot handle me, I am a soldier! Even death cannot destroy me, for when my Commander calls me from the battlefield He will promote me to Captain. I am a soldier in the army. I am marching, claiming victory! I will not turn around, I am a soldier! Heaven bound, here I stand, will you stand with me? Are you a soldier?
Spurgeon for July 31
“I in them.”
- Joh_17:23
If such be the union which subsists between our souls and the person of our Lord, how deep and broad is the channel of our communion! This is no narrow pipe through which a thread-like stream may wind its way, it is a channel of amazing depth and breadth, along whose glorious length a ponderous volume of living water may roll its floods. Behold he hath set before us an open door, let us not be slow to enter. This city of communion hath many pearly gates, every several gate is of one pearl, and each gate is thrown open to the uttermost that we may enter, assured of welcome. If there were but one small loophole through which to talk with Jesus, it would be a high privilege to thrust a word of fellowship through the narrow door; how much we are blessed in having so large an entrance! Had the Lord Jesus been far away from us, with many a stormy sea between, we should have longed to send a messenger to him to carry him our loves, and bring us tidings from his Father’s house; but see his kindness, he has built his house next door to ours, nay, more, he takes lodging with us, and tabernacles in poor humble hearts, that so he may have perpetual intercourse with us. O how foolish must we be, if we do not live in habitual communion with him. When the road is long, and dangerous, and difficult, we need not wonder that friends seldom meet each other, but when they live together, shall Jonathan forget his David? A wife may when her husband is upon a journey, abide many days without holding converse with him, but she could never endure to be separated from him if she knew him to be in one of the chambers of her own house. Why, believer, dost not thou sit at his banquet of wine? Seek thy Lord, for he is near; embrace him, for he is thy Brother. Hold Him fast, for he is thine Husband; and press him to thine heart, for he is of thine own flesh.
