How can we return to what we have never known

How can we return to what we have never had

How can we return to what we have never hoped for

How can we return to what we have never realized

God reveal to us what we have never known

God reveal to us what we have never had

God reveal to us what we have never hoped for

God reveal to us what we have never realized

By Your hope

By Your faith

By Your love

By our fruit      9/26/2020

 

 Today is the Return. It is a true Grace relations moment as Christians of all hues, denominations and ethnics gather in Washington DC to call America to Return to God.

At a time when homes and businesses are being looted and burned and even more of the darker hue are dying at the hands of rioters than by police this is the hope God can and will heal hearts and communities if we only call upon God.

I who have been twice lost and once found can pray for the hearts of those controlled by fear, anger, hatred and violence. God strike at the foundation by toppling fear by love and hope.

Touch each heart for only then can there be a lasting return and redemption.

Heart talks

so funny

my heart

is talking

now to me

heart skip

heart pause

tests clear

but so funny

my heart

is talking

now to me      9/24/2020

 

So many fear

so many hate

so many burn

so many know

Hearts rip

hearts maim

hearts scream

hearts break

Neighbors burn

business burn

homes burn

people burn

We destroy

we hate

we kill

we die

Hope is needed

grace is needed

listening is needed

love is needed      9/24/2020

 

We seek to grow by division

division only makes less

Less of what we can be

being what others want

wanting what will lose

losing what we want

We seek to grow by division       9/21/2020

 

 

My prayer

We bred fear

fear bred anger

anger bred hate

hate bred violence

and now destruction

Humble us

love us

to love

Help humanity to value the wonder of human life. Remind us we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

Pain grow beyond med

spend more time in bed

Weakness grows as loss

Wearier with each loss      8/24/2020

“to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.” (Luke 1:27 NKJV)

There is so much here. Mary as a virgin was engaged to “Joseph of the house of David.” Mary’s name is almost added as an afterthought. Both Mary and Joseph honored God by facing death to obey. Jesus would also honor the Father in the same way.

Your prayer

Give God thanks for what you have.

Praise God for who He is.

Ask for God to use you today.

 

God’s Love though refused is offered again in Jesus

God’s Light though we turned from is seen in Jesus

God’s Re-Creation flows from the blood of Jesus

God destroys death renewing eternal Life by Jesus       2/5/2020

“Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,” (Luke 1:26 NKJV)

This begins the “invasion” of God into the world He created. Earth and heaven joined! God who created time and is beyond time comes into time.

Your prayer

Give God thanks for what you have.

Praise God for who He is.

Ask for God to use you today.

“He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, And carry them in His bosom, And gently lead those who are with young.” (Isaiah 40:11 NKJV)

This verse is part of Handel’s “Messiah” which is an amazing work of praise for the glorious God!

Your prayer

Give God thanks for what you have.

Praise God for who He is.
