My Heart

Readers, if there are any of you remaining, please forgive me for my unexplained absence here in this place of ministry. Although I have been gone from this site for a bit, you have been forefront on my mind.

If you have an idea or request or comment, please do leave a bit of your heart here in some typed words. I am listening and wondering and praying.

Thank you for your understanding. Sometimes we all have to figure out the next step whilst we are sitting off to the side, alone, all while seeking God. And listening...

that their hearts may be encouraged,

being knit together in love, and attaining

to all riches of the full assurance of understanding,

to the knowledge of the mystery of God,

both of the Father and of Christ,

in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words.

For though I am absent in the flesh,

yet I am with you in spirit,

rejoicing to see your good order

and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.

~ Colossians 2:2-5

Let us humbly pray:

Father God, please touch each person reading this message. Grasp them fully in your grip of forgiveness and grace and redemption. Make them whole in You. Lead each of us this day, this week, in our thoughts & words & deeds. Let us bring glory to Your most precious name. And Father, give us each the strength we need to meet the challenges and opportunities You set before us. In Jesus' name, amen.
