Goodbye for now....One thing remains

We can't take credit for the inspiration for all of this. This trip was planned by many supported by many more and changed from what it originally was supposed to be. Of the original 12 people scheduled to go, 10 went and 6 were on the original list. Very little went according to plan and yet it was an amazing experience and God knew all along this was the team that was meant to be here.

We are leaving friends, brothers and sisters in Christ and many needs unmet, and yet these are all temporary things. One day we will meet again, whether in this world or the next, one day language will not divide and sin will have no power over us. When we lave here and return home there is one thing that will remain. It calls to mind an amazing song inspired by scripture.


The song is called "One Thing Remains (Love Never Fails)" I recommend you check it out here

Here is the scripture that inspired it.


Higher than the mountains that I face (Psalm 46:1-3)
Stronger than the power of the grave (Acts 2:24-27, Romans 6:9, Hebrews 2:14-15)
Constant through the trial and the change (Numbers 23:19Hebrews 13:8, James 1:17)
One thing remains (x2) (1 Corinthians 13:13)
Your love never fails it never gives up it never runs out on me (x3) (1 Corinthians 13:7-8, 2 Timothy 2:13)
On and one and on and on it goes (Psalm 100:5Psalm 136, Ephesians 3:17-19)
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul (Psalm 90:14, Psalm 103:5Isaiah 55:1-3, Jeremiah 31:25, John 7:37-38)
And I never ever have to be afraid (Psalm 23:4Psalm 27:1-3Psalm 91:5-7, Luke 12:4-5, Romans 8:15, 2 Timothy 1:71 John 4:18)
One thing remains
In death and in life (Romans 14:8)
I’m confident and covered by the power of your great love (Psalm 91:4)
My debt is paid (Matthew 18:23-27, Colossians 2:13-14)
There’s nothing that can separate my heart from your great love (Romans 8:37-39)
This trip may end today, but one thing remains......
