 FAITH - LOOKS TO GOD ALONE 

IT RESTS ON THE CORNERSTONE

 LILACLADY JUNEBUG2 

FAITH 

by June Estelle Donato (Cash) 1/30/1960

Faith it is that sees the far horizon

That, bent beneath the load of care

Yet waits, looking for the

Answer to its prayer. 

Through Faith it is that we can see

Through numerous tears

Amd laugh with joy to trust 

His promise to His 

Answers to our prayers.

Faith it is that sees the far horizon:

Yes, Ben beneath the load of care

We wait, looking for His 

Answer to our prayer. 

Yet Faith it is that gives us peace

Within while midst the fears, 

We work and walk aright with ease.

He is our Peace, and 

He answers our prayer. 

SAVING FAITH 

A person, man or woman may be Moral,

decent, upright, and 

conscientious

and yet be 

far from the holiness

of God, 

or to feel free to 

approach the 

Throne of God for 

answered prayer.

One may work and labor, 

by the sweat 

of their brow,

yet not 

find 

answer to prayer. 

As Cain offered what he 

had labored for,

it was not by faith.

Adam knew he was a sinner 

separated from God.

God had clothed both

Adam and Eve 

by the blood of 

an animal that had 

to be sacrificed 

to give them

"covering" 

for their son.

Now Cain and Abel came

as the book of Genesis tells us

to offer their sacrifice.

Abel offered up of the firstling 

of his flock. 

Cain brought the best of his garden.

Giving God the best 

when God already showed

Adam and Eve 

that  ONLY by a

blood 

sacrifice 

of a living creature

could

COVER

their nakedness

before God.

Let's look at his 

parents to see 

what he was doing. 

Remember? 

They did not know 

until they sinned 

that they were naked..

So it did change them.

1. 

They saw they were naked

2. 

It suddenly occurred to them

"we need to cover 

ourselves"

Until then, 

they had walked 

with the LORD

in purity 

and 

sinless 

unawareness of 

anything

but 

God's Light.

Now they 

were

"darkened"

and

felt 

separated from 

each other

and 

from God

So they knew

they needed 

a 

covering. 

What did they do? 

they 

made aprons of fig leaves.

God went looking

for 

Adam ! 

Now !  God is GOD 

and HE KNOWS ALL THINGS 

so 

WHY? was 

He L O O K I N G 

for Adam? 

Because God knows 

And God sees 

And God wants 

us to admit 

where we are,, 

He Went Looking 

for Adam.

This gave Adam a 

chance to 

account for 

himself.

Time is what we have 

but 

God is timeless.

He has placed us 

in this world with 

TIME

He created 

He made 

and 

He completed 

the world in 

PERFECT MATURITY

and 

gave Adam

and Eve

the right 

to 

choose 

GOD is 

GOD always was

GOD always will be

and 

yet, 

we have 

just this life 

to live 

SO when Adam needed God 

He hid from Him.

Now we know 

we cannot hide 

from God,

but we do it all

the time.

We find our 

things 

our 

need to be met 

our 

habits 

we like 

and 

hide

or 

we 

say

It is my right to do this 

It is my thing 

adn

we have lost 

our way.

Adam and Eve 

would have told 

Cain and Abel and any other

children they had

of what God did. 

In Cain's case 

he chose to choose 

HIS OWN WORKS 

what he had done 

for God.

In Abel's case, 

Abel chose to choose 

one of his treasures, 

a living creature,

knowing 

God required

"a covering of blood" 

for sin. 

His mother and father

surely had explained 

it over and over.

They would never

forget 

They could have died 

right then.

Instead, 

God substituted 

a Living Creature that died 

in their place.

So he clothed them

with the skins of 

an animal 

and they could see

GOD PROVIDED A WAY\

GOD still provides.

Jesus said to the disciples 

John 14.6   

I am the way 

the truth 

and the life, 

No man cometh unto 

the Father, 

but by me.

John 3.16 

For God so loved the world 

that He gave 

His only begotten Son

that whosoever believeth  

in Him should not perish,

but have everlasting life.

John 3.17 

Jesus goes on to say

For God sent not His 

Son into the world 

to condemn 

the world, 

but that the world through

Him might be saved.

As Abraham went out by faith 

to go to a "land" where God 

promised to lead Him to, 

you and I 

have the option

of 

trusting God by faith 

in the blood of Jesus Christ

offered once for all

sufficient 

to cover 

All sin.   

John 1.29  

...John declared ... 

Behold ! the Lamb of God which taketh

away the sin of the world.

Again, 

Jesus said in John 6.32 and 33

I am the Bread of life; he that 

cometh to Me 

shall never 

hunger; 

and he that 

believeth on Me 

shall never thirst.

Jesus is the Only One 

who was 

100 per cent GOD

and 

100 per cent  MAN

and 

as such

was 

our "one of a kind"

DECLARATION 

OF WHO GOD WAS 

AND IS'

AND ALWAYS 

WILL BE.

Romans 3.23

For all have sinned, 

and come 

short of the 

Glory of God.  

Romans 6.23 

For the wages of sin is death;

but the gift of God is 

eternal life through

Jesus Christ our Lord.  

Finally FAITh 

COMES BY GRACE

We don't earn it

We don't deserve it 

God gives us HIS CLEANSING 

through 

the B L O O D 

that was shed once for all 

for all time

for ever

to save any 

who will trust Him

Romans 5.8 

God commendeth His love 

toward us, in that 

while we were yet 

sinners, 

Christ died for us. 

John 1.12

But as many as received Him 

to them gave He power to become

the sons of God,

even to them that 

believe 

on His name.  

Ephesians 2.8,9 

For by grace are ye saved 

through faith; and 

that, not of yourselves: 

it is the gift of God, 

not of works,

lest any man should boast.

Ephesians 1.7 

In whom ye have redemption

through His blood, 

the forgiveness of sins,

according to the riches

of his grace. 

LOOKING UP TO GOD  - I walk by faith

.

LOOKING FORWARD 

to HIS RETURN 

I walk by faith 

Not by sight \

II Corinthians 5.7 

FOR WE WALK BY FAITH,

NOT BY SIGHT.

REFLECTIONS ON ISRAEL AND MOTHER'S DAY

                                                                             REFLECTIONS ON 

ISRAEL AND MOTHER'S DAY 

Isaiah 66.13

AS ONE WHOM HIS 

MOTHER COMFORTETH, 

SO WILL I COMFORT YOU; 

AND YE SHALL BE

COMFORTED IN

JERUSALEM.

LILACLADY JUNEBUG2 

Thinking today on what the Bible 
says about Israel, on her day May 9, 
and as to God's view of her, 
and of our Mothers.
When Isaiah penned this Word given from God, 
the warning of coming destruction and judgment 
upon Jerusalem had been already given.
Yet, in all the doom and gloom of the
warnings, here God
gives HIS VIEW.

AS ONE WHOM HIS MOTHER COMFORTETH 

ISAIAH 66.13  

This is a  PROMISE the LORD God gave

to Judah in her time of need.

The warnings of the Prophet Isaiah

to the southern Kingdom of Judah 

was that she needed to 

repent, and return

to the LORD God.

Judgment was coming on the land.

Warnings were everywhere.

No one wanted to listen.

No one wanted to hear.

Focus on what we are doing, 

they thought.

Focus on what was past.

and so they

were listening to 

the prophets who told them

good things were coming 

and not bad.

These however were false.

Their prophecies were not 

from the LORD God.

My Mother and Father with me 

as a little baby in June of 1933

Three days old, Daddy graduated

from High School the night I was born.

They were both 17 years old.   

When I read the words from this passage

"as one whom his mother comforteth, 

so will I comfort you"  I find a 

quality in the LORD God that usually

does not seem to be 

recognized by most.

My Mother was to me my dearest 

friend.   She nurtured me, from the time

I was conceived until I grew old 

enough to do for myself.

Her father wanted her to have

an abortion.

It was not "right" to have this child

he said.

Her husband wanted her to

have an abortion.

He was afraid.

He was young.

He was not ready.

but my Mother had faith 

that somehow

God would give ME  life.

She said, 

I took the abortives 

like I was told,

but I prayer 

very hard, 

God, please let this Baby come.

AND SO I CAME.

A bright brown eyed red head

of a little child.

My father grew to love me.

He listened to me when I told him 

things.

My grandfather accepted me 

and learned to be fond of me.

Although I never understood

that at this time

there was a sad

thing happening

in the world 

to the Jewish people,

I knew SOME THING

was not right.

Most people would say

"I imagine it"  but I know what

I heard when I was in 

my mother's womb.

It was 1933. Before I was born.

Hitler was speaking on the radio,

and Grandmother, Mother,

and me in Mother's womb were

there, listening to

the harsh 

shrill

loud

hateful

voice 

of 

this man Adolf Hitler.

When I was a little girl of three,

and wandered in my grandmother's

living room, I would see

the radio there and

I remembered 

THAT VOICE SO FEARFUL

No one talked about who he was.

I never heard anyone tell

me of what was 

happening.

But somehow,

I KNEW WHAT WAS

GOING ON.  

In my first day at school

as a Kindergarten student I 

attended in Boston MA 

to a class there.

A large class of about

sixty of us.

One lady took six of us 

into a circle of chairs 

to teach us 

how to read 

with flash cards 

and 

phonetic sounds.

I noticed on the board 

there was a 

picture of children

somewhere  where they

were also in 

class.

They looked sad.

They looked forlorn.

Wistful, solemn, not smiling.

Thin faces.

They must be hungry I thought.

Later I learned that 

was a picture from Germany.

It was placed on front page 

newspapers everywhere

proclaiming the 

goodness of German 

Education.

As a t small child I was very 

much aware of people and 

their feelings.

Here I felt I WAS SUCH A BIG GIRL

FOR GRANDMA TOLD ME I WAS 

HELPING HER WEED.

Here I am at 5 years of age.

It is now 1938 and the 

memories I still

have of the 

things I saw in my mind

and my spirit

of the hate 

the hurt 

the way people 

were treating other 

people 

made me 

a little 

cautious 

about 

making friends.

We moved a lot.

I mean, we moved a lot.

Daddy was out of work, looking

for work, and we went with 

him.   From Adams, MA to

Boston MA and back again

and then returning

to try again.

I found my MOTHER was 

indeed MY BEST FRIEND

THE ONE I COULD TALK TO

AND

SHE COMFORTED ME.

As I look back, and

see how God gave

me "impressions" of 

the Holocaust, yet 

gave me courage to live,

I think now of this passage

in Isaiah which 

God told His People

bad things were coming

and it was because 

they did not turn to Him.

As I looked at 

what happened in the Holocaust

and as I discovered later on,

that the Evil that men do 

to others is going to 

be judged by the 

JUDGE OF ALL 

THE LIVING GOD

THE ONLY TRUE GOD

will judge all 

the wicked.

As a child, of three,  I went 

to church on EASTER SUNDAY 

only to be placed 

in a Nursery

where there were blocks

and toys.

I looked - disappointed -

around - and then I SAW ON THE

WALL BY THE WINDOWS 

some pictures 

What were these? 

I stepped to look closer

and found

EACH ONE BECKONING ME

TO LOOK 

so I DID.  

IT WAS LIKE I WAS 

SURROUNDED BY A GLOW

I WAS UNAWARE OF ANY

THING EXCEPT THE 

PICTURES.

As I looked at these pictures

I saw an Angel with a 

woman....I thought about that ...

the next picture showed Mary traveling

on a donkey with Joseph by her side.

I did not know their names, but I knew from

Christmas songs who it was...Joseph and Mary.

Then I looked at a picture with Angels 

in the night air over the Shepherds. 

Then the Shepherds at the Manger.

The next picture showed 

the wise men worshipping the Baby.

Jesus as a little boy 

helping Joseph in carpentry.

Another picture showed

Jesus teaching the people from

a boat.  

Jesus blessing the children.

Jesus 

Jesus riding on a donkey

into Jerusalem 

people praising God 

as he approached

Jesus dying on the cross 

between two thieves,

and 

Jesus ascending into heaven

from the Disciples looking as he went up.

Brrrinng.......the Bell rang 

for the end of the Sunday School time.

NOISES LOUD  blocks crashed down,

children crying and talking, 

the glow went away

and I was in the 

NURSERY ROOM AGAIN.

It was like I had God's Spirit

telling me 

THIS IS THE STORY.

LISTEN TO IT.

When I got home, Mother asked 

"What did you learn about Jesus? 

I said,   Mother,  I saw some pictures

and I think God was telling me that He came as 

a little baby to show us Who God Is and He died 

on the Cross but He rose again, so when I grow up I will

find out more about  Him.    

WHY ? was this important to Mother?

She had already told me, 

that "because you are part Jewish, maybe

when you grow up, and find out 

Who God Is, you can tell me, and I will

believe.

Here my Mother and I stood in 

1955 at Grandmother's house.

I was grown now, in college, 

working, and looking toward

serving Christ.  

My Mother was my 

best friend.  

I was able to lead her

to a certainty of faith

in Christ Jesus our Lord,

but I believe her

simple 

childlike 

faith 

was begun 

when she had faith

to believe 

I would be born.

ISRAEL WILL BE COMFORTED

SO TOO WILL YOU  

NO MATTER WHAT THE PAIN

NO MATTER WHAT THE HEARTACHE

NO MATTER WHAT THE CIRCUMSTANCES

GOD 

WILL 

COMFORT 

US.

JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR

HAS PROMISED

US

ETERNAL LIFE 

if we believe on His Finished Work on the Cross

JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR

HAS PROMISED

US 

A COMFORTER 

TO BE WITH US

TO BE DWELLING IN US 

AND

THIS IS WHAT HE SAYS

BUT THE COMFORTER

WHICH IS THE HOLY GHOST,

WHOM THE FATHER 

WILL SEND IN MY NAME;

HE SHALL TEACH

YOU ALL THINGS, 

AND BRING ALL

THINGS TO YOUR

REMEMBRANCE

WHATSOEVER

I HAVE SAID UNTO YOU.

John 14.26   

TO THE JEW,

OF A NEW COVENANT 

IN
