It is so good to have ONE day to be set aside for time to worship in song and prayer! How like all God's creation I yearn the moment to fulfil our father's destiny. I see and know that God dwells in all of us (ALL).
I see his amazing creative will and majesty in rocks, earth, birds, planets, weather, every sunset and sunrise, each awareness of birth and death. It is, for me, a totally awesome creative energy that is truly intended to be a true definite part of us all!
Hence, the REAL pain of our HUMAN original SIN, it created the most dreadful and painful separation from our truly divine creator. Hence God originated, the short but amazing - of Jesus Christ.
There was no other way for God to unite fully with his dear children and his own heart felt creation. It is true that we will NOT likely understand much of this in this short earth journey. Hence, the need for our present tears, love, , forgiveness, redemption and prayers for self growth and God's call to his beloved call!
There is so much that each one of us can do, no handicap or self-doubt need hold us back from the most beautiful relationship restored in full - by Jesus bearing us all through his own physical death.
It is better to not try to understand it all, for we do not (yet) have the clear vision of God. Better for now to live by the heart - compelled and called to love by faith. This is clearly how so many have been called to know God's own heart - and partake it into ourselves. To be more like Jesus, and heal the 'sickness' in others, and calm the storm that makes us ALL AFRAID - and therefore cast new doubts.

Sometimes He Calms the Storm
All who sail the sea of faith
Find out before too long
How quickly blue skies can grow dark
And gentle winds grow strong
Suddenly fear is like white water
Pounding on the soul
Still we sail on knowing
That our Lord is in control
Sometimes He calms the storm
With a whispered peace be still
He can settle any sea
But it doesn’t mean He will
Sometimes He holds us close
And lets the wind and waves go wild
Sometimes He calms the storm
And other times He calms His child
He has a reason for each trial
That we pass through in life
And though we’re shaken
We cannot be pulled apart from Christ
No matter how the driving rain beats down
On those who hold to faith
A heart of trust will always
Be a quiet peaceful place
It takes pain to purify, sacrifice to justify, suffering to sanctify, forgiveness to nullify, What chance have I, except in Christ? The world pacifies, Jesus satisfies.
I am a child who wants to know. Teach me, Lord, that I might grow. Just like a child, I cling to thee, lift me up, that I might see. I am a child, so very small. With your help, I will grow tall. A little child, not very smart-help me learn to do my part. When night is dark, I will not fear; for I know you're always near.
My heart overflows with the wonder of Love and the thought of all it can do... How it mends the broken, patches the worn, relieves the weary, and repairs the torn. Love remembers the loneliness, renews the old, moves the timid, restrains the bold. Love strengthens the weak, forgives the bad, sweetens the bitter and gladdens the sad. Love lightens the burden, calms the storm, seeks the forgotten, and lifts the forlorn. Love comforts the bereaved, helps the oppressed, feeds the hungry, and aids the distressed. Love refreshes the famished, soothes the sore, consoles the troubled, and more, so much more!
