“He will quiet you with His love”


(Zephaniah 3:17c)

I walked into this empty church I had no place else to go
When the sweetest voice I ever heard, whispered to my soul
I don't need to be forgiven for loving you so much
It's written in the scriptures
It's written there in blood
I even heard the angels declare it from above
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure,
There ain't no cure for love.

**Leonard Cohen
 
Slow down.
Shut it off.
Be still.
He will quiet you with His love.
 
 
Listen.
Learn.
Be open.
He will quiet you with His love.
 
 
Forgive others.
As well as yourself.
Be a blessing.
He will quiet you with His love.
 
 
All the Marthas.
Look at the Marys.
Come.
He will quiet you with His love.

Dealing the Authentic

Buy the truth and do not sell it.
(Proverbs 23:12a)

Where can you find truth?
Real truth
not that packaged crap - Trooth.®


I heard there was one guy
who said He was the truth.


The competition came down on Him hard,
but I heard He’s still dealing
the authentic.

He brags that it’s
so good it will set you free.

Baptism


The little saint
comes forward to become
a citizen
of the Kingdom.

The little saint
raises her face
to the empty cross
of salvation and grace

The little saint
knows no wisdom
only love --
the passport to the Kingdom.


O little saint!
For the rest of your days,
worship the LORD for
He is holy.
And
please believe it
precious one -
you are too.


Amen.
