We Need You, Lord

We need you, Lord.
Like lost wanderers in a burning, empty desert
Thirst for cool, clean water,
We long for you to quench us.
In a world gone progressively mad,
With chaos all around us,
We seek refuge in the order and purpose of your law.
With evil sneaking, leaking everywhere,
Spreading heavy darkness,
Creating feelings of emptiness,
We hunger for your goodness and light.
Turn us around, Lord, we pray;
Retrieve your sheep who have gone astray.
Draw us to the satisfaction
Of your purity and righteousness.
Cleanse us, and make us more like you,
Role models, examples, beacons,
For others who are searching for meaning for their lives.
Come, Lord Jesus.
We need you, Lord.

Matthew 5:16
Proverbs 4:18

LOVE HAPPENS

 
 
 
LOVE HAPPENS

We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them.
1 John 4:16

When love happens, good happens…
Kindness happens when love acts.Joy happens when love celebrates.Patience happens when love waits.Hope happens when love promises.Life happens when love gives.Change happens when love prays.Blessings happen when love cares.Beauty happens when love grows.Healing happens when love touches.Fullness happens when love abounds.Righteousness happens when love chooses.Truth happens when love speaks.Purpose happens when love guides.
Because God is love, love happens…when love happens, something good will always happen!
