Faith is being content to wait in the desert of sweltering heat, watching the world go dancing by in a cool breeze- without abandoning your post. Faith is the invisible candy so sweet you’d turn down 7,000 glamorous invitations- to savor a single piece, in solitude. If you hold onto your faith long enough, it […]
You are the Golden Sun rising in the east, and I am barefoot walking toward your glow. I feel the warmth of Your perfect love on my skin, and I carry on. Thank You Lord – for creating me. Thank You for leading me into the mystery of Your light.
Lord, I will stand strong for You. I will not give in to this looming darkness, but I can only shine so far on my own. I want to be a blaze of Your brilliance in the night of this world. Lord, stoke the fire of Your love in my soul. Lengthen me, strengthen me, […]
When we whisper genuine prayer intentions, we blow dandelion seeds of love into a gentle summer breeze, which disperses them to exactly where they’re most needed. When we pay attention, we begin to notice how they grow by grace into beauty, which covers the earth with sunshine.
