“Jesus’s final prayer was oriented around a vision for unity, and he commissioned his church to be the healing agent that brings the ministry of reconciliation into broken and fractured places in society. And yet an honest assessment raises more questions than answers. Is the church at large, and are we as individuals, currently making any contribution to healing the divisions? Or are we making things worse? Have we come to grips with our role in creating this divide, or are we stuck in a state of denial?”

“We would venture to say that the opposite of fear is not a lack of fear but trust. Somewhere deep down all of us know we’re powerless to change things or truly protect children the way we long to. But we don’t want to parent out of fear. When we do, the emphasis is more on preventing than on encouraging. It becomes more about control than it does relationship. It centers on what is wrong in the world rather than who you and your child can be in the midst of it.”

“The Lord is my constant companion. There is no need that He cannot fulfill.
Whether His course for me points
to the mountaintops of glorious joy
or to the valleys of human suffering, He is by my side. He is ever present with me. He is close beside me
when I tread the dark streets of danger,
and even when I flirt with death itself, He will not leave me. When the pain is severe, He is near to comfort. When the burden is heavy He is there to lean upon. When depression darkens my soul, He touches me with eternal joy. When I feel empty and alone, He fills the aching vacuum with His power.
My security is in His promise
to be near me always
and in the knowledge
that He will never let me go. From Psalms/Now by Leslie F. Brandt.”

“I love you Huggy Bear!! Lift your head up sister It will be okay Pray for a better tomorrow And live for today Lift your head up sister I know it seems tough Troubles gather all around you And roads get rough Lift your head up sister There’s a light at the end Every battle is a struggle But with God you will win Lift your head up sister Even when people put you down You are more than a conqueror And through Christ, you’ll earn your crown Keep your head sister You are the head and not the tail Our father gave us the power Through it all you will prevail Lift your head up!! I know the plans that I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope Jeremiah 29:11”
