Psalm 84 v 5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. 1 Peter 2 11 Dear friends, I urge you as foreigners and temporary residents

This world in not my Home I’m just a passing through Just visiting this planet

Pilgrim Journey, Path, Way. Causeway Highway We Journey with purpose

Pilgrim Life is a journey not a destination or a competition

Who would true valour see, Let him come hither; One here will constant be, Come wind, come weather. There’s no discouragement Shall make him once relent His first avowed intent To be a pilgrim.

Whoso beset him round With dismal stories Do but themselves confound; His strength the more is. No lion can him fright, He’ll with a giant fight, He will have a right To be a pilgrim.

Hobgoblin nor foul fiend Can daunt his spirit, He knows he at the end Shall life inherit. Then fancies fly away, He’ll fear not what men say, He’ll labour night and day To be a pilgrim. Written by John Bunyan 1628 to 1688

Bunyan wrote He who would true valour see in 1684 as part of Pilgrim’s Progress. The words are spoken by Mr Valiant-for-truth to Mr Great-heart.

WE NEED to come and kneel at the Cross and ask Christ to Redeem US, God to Forgive US and The Holy Spirit to  infill,  empower and  energise US.

Then “Hobgoblin nor foul fiend Can daunt his spirit, He knows he at the end Shall life inherit. Then fancies fly away, He’ll fear not what men say, He’ll labour night and day To be a pilgrim”
