God has no grandchildren

"God has no grandchildren, only Children."

More than your mask

Though we're 'strangers',
still I love you,

I love you more than your mask

In the midst of judgment

"I thank my Maker, that in the midst of judgment he has remembered mercy.

I humbly entreat my Redeemer to give me strength to lead henceforth

a purer life than I have done hitherto."

~Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Do not lose heart

“My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline,
and do not lose heart when He rebukes you,
because the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and He chastens everyone He accepts as His son.”
~Hebrews 12:5b,6

Daily Light ....

It took the Hands of God Almighty

We are frail, we are fearfully and wonderfully made 

Forged in the fires of human passion 

Choking on the fumes of selfish rage 

And with these our hells and our heavens 

So few inches apart 

We must be awfully small 

And not as strong as we think we are 

It took the hand of God Almighty 
To part the waters of the sea 
But it only took one little lie 
To separate you and me
Oh, we are not as strong as we think we are 

~Rich Mullins

The Church is not a museum for saints ..

Romance

Romance is a dangerous thing

Before you were born

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart."
~Jeremiah 1:5

And forever

"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."

~Hebrews 13:8

Knows God

“Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God
and knows God.”
~1 John 4:7

Love that knows no bounds

Deep calls to deep 
And all that we need 
Has been lost in what we've found 
And all we shall be 
Is growing by leaps 
In a love that knows no bounds 

And we will rise on spirit wings 
When we wake from earthen dreams 

Time ticks away 
Night after day 
'Til the clock comes unwound 
With all we shall be 
Still growing by leaps 
In a Love, that knows no bounds

~Rich Mullins

Valentine's

Amerongen

Love is kind and patient,

never jealous, boastful,

proud, or rude.

Love isn't selfish

or quick tempered.

It doesn't keep a record

of wrongs that others do.

Love rejoices in the truth,

but not in evil.

Love is always supportive,

loyal, hopeful,

and trusting.

Love never fails.

~1 Corinthians 13
