A Voice in the wind

LORD, the God of Israel...there is no one like You in heaven above or on earth below. You who keep Your covenant of love with Your servants who continue wholeheartedly in Your way.
 
The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain You. Yet You give attention to Your servant’s prayer and his plea for mercy. When the heavens are shut and there is no rain because Your people have sinned against You, and when they pray toward You and give praise to Your name and turn from their sin because You have afflicted them, then hear from heaven and forgive the sins of Your servants, since You know their hearts. Teach them the right way to live, and send rain on the land You gave Your people for an inheritance.
In Your Mighty Name I pray. Amen.
       May the Lord our God be with us as He was with our ancestors; may He never leave us nor forsake us. May He turn our hearts to Him, to walk in obedience to Him and keep the commands, decrees and laws He gave our ancestors.
      And may these words of mine, which I have prayed before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God day and night, that He may uphold the cause of His servant and the cause of His people according to each day’s need, so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God and that there is no other.
      And may Your hearts be fully committed to the Lord our God, to live by His decrees and obey his commands, as at this time.

Bible - Truths

And we have known and believed the love that God has in us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment. He who fears has not been perfected in love. 1John 4:16-18 The Bible says that God is LOVE... And in the same verse it says that there is no fear in love. They are opposites in the Kingdom. If we are operating in fear we are working for the enemy even if we think we are doing something 'righteous'. This would count especially in cases where we care too much what others think of us - if we are fearing people more than we fear God we are people pleasing. Having respect and love for another person is NOT the same as people pleasing and sometimes when we are immature in love we can mistake the two. We need to learn how to have respect and lov...

The Dogwood Tree

Here is a small reminder of what happened on Good Friday long ago. The dogwood was the tree chosen to construct the Cross that would be used to take the body of Jesus. Even though His body may have been taken from this earth, His spirit remains and every spring we are blessed with a reminder of the events that unfolded on that fateful weekend. The blooms often appear in the shape of a Cross with holes in the tips of the pedals signifying the nails that were driven into the Cross. If you look closely at these holes you can notice a faint red stain representing the Blood. In the center you will find a green bloom symbolizing the crown of thorns placed on the head of Jesus. The dogwood is more than a tree…it is a representation of life. With every spring we are reminded of what God did for us and given the chance to be reborn and start a new life as “children of God”. (John 3:1)
