All I Know Is…

Your love, is a three-strand cord that binds us together

Your peace, is like a river gently moving, never ending

Like a waterfall that overflows, traveling on the journey of life

Your breath keeps us living, circulating in motion with a pause in between.

Like bread, baked in the oven of life, a sweet aroma fills the air

Mouthwatering and comforting to the soul

We are yours and you, are ours…

Our pathway is illuminated with your light

We will not stumble in the dark; we will not fall, for we will keep our feet planted in the gospel of peace.

We are always hopeful, because hope gives us a reason to keep on going

Your joy bubbles up within the spirit and gives us new strength day by day.

Faith is the steel that causes us to wait patiently in your presence knowing it pleases you.

We will not be moved…

Not by fear, nor death, nor life, for things hoped for nor things seen, nor unseen, for You O YHWH never change, never doubt, never leave, never lie. You are ever present, all knowing, forgiving, loving, kind, generous, our help in times of trouble. You are life sustaining, life giving, life making, truth, wisdom, just, etc.

Of all the words that have ever existed in every language known, and unknown, nothing can express who You are…but this much I know…I am totally and completely loved by you. All who know you and love you, know, we can’t out-give, or out-love you, only you can save us, deliver us, protect us, give us eternal live…Thank you Jesus, thank you Papa, Thank you Holy Spirit! Amen!
