Posted on Fri, 20 Jan 2017
Yes! I was struck when the phrase 'his word is his bond' came to mind – in these days a phrase almost forgotten, and so well illustrates the dependability and power of God's words and promises, unlike so much that gets said without committment or...

I thought I'd made a comment on this on Saturday. Probably forgot to press 'Save'!
I thought it intirguingly linking the waters and tears of this life; and maybe water can also bring to mind cleaning, new leaf, thirst quenched, baptism …...
