Jesus Says

"...If God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you." John 12:28 NLT
Let us get up early and go to the vineyards to see if the grapevines have budded, if the blossoms have opened, and if the pomegranates have bloomed. There I will give you my love. Songs of Songs 6:12 NLT

Reaching the Heart of God

Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. Colossians 4:2 NIV

Today the heart of God is an open wound of love...He longs for our presence...And he is inviting you---and me---to come home, to come home where we belong, to come home for that which we were created...The key to this home, this heart of God, is prayer.  From Richard Foster in Full Service by Siang-Yang Tan

Through the Day

From: From the Heart by Helen Steiner Rice

I rise before dawn and cry for help; I
have put my hope in your word.  My eyes
stay open through the watches of the night,
that I may meditate on your promises.
               Psalm 119:147-148

I meet God in the morning
and go with Him through the day,
then in the stillness of the night
before sleep comes, I pray.
