Each Worthy Cause

From Matthew 25:21:  “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and trustworthy slave; you have been trustworthy in a few things; I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.”

World full of needs

Each worthy cause

Hearing God’s voice

Presence gives pause

 

Spirit’s actions

Heart fills with grace

Seeking to serve

God’s chosen place

 

His guiding hand

Light walks ahead

Trusting in faith

God’s daily bread

 

Each open door

God always near

Growing in love

Never to fear

 

Needs overflow

Faith’s timely seeds

Planting each one

Watchful God feeds

Thanksgiving is a time of quiet reflection . . . an annual reminder that God has, again, been ever so faithful.  The solid and simple things of life are brought into clear focus.

From Psalm 107:8-9:  “Let them thank the Lord for His steadfast love, for His wonderful works to humankind.  For He satisfies the thirsty, and the hungry He fills with good things.”

Living wholeheartedly for the Lord is impossible in our own strength.  But if we’ll humble ourselves and ask, He will give us the grace to diligently and persistently live for Him.

From 2 Chronicles 31:20-21:  “Hezekiah did this throughout all Judah; he did what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God.  And every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God and in accordance with the law and the commandments, to seek his God, he did with all his heart, and he prospered.”

Choosing God’s Love

From 1 John 4:15-16:  “God abides in those who confess that Jesus is the Son of God, and they abide in God.  So we have known and believe the love that God has for us.  God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.”

Earth filled with darkness

Hate crosses another street

Enemy’s hand at work

Peace surrenders its fleet

 

World aching for change

Grace knocking on every door

Chains of evil loosen

Love coming ashore

 

God holds righteous reins

Providence surges ahead

Muscles ready to flex

Born in Bethlehem shed

 

Hope now awakens

Messiah’s light enters in

Choice now offered to all

Love strengthens faith’s linchpin

 

Darkness and hate flee

Forgiven, choosing God’s love

Mercy stirs with kindness

Witnessed from high above

While human love tries to capture the perfection found in God’s love, we will always fumble our imperfect love.  With His grace, we will be able to recover what seemed to have been lost.
