The Heart of God


A couple of years ago I took a short weekend away.  I like to get away at least twice a year to just be with the Lord, to listen and process.  In 2009 I sat down to think about all that God gives.  This was the result...


THE HEART OF GOD

Sprinkles of Spring
The warmth of Summer
The cool breeze of Fall
Chills of Winter

All from the hand of God

Laughter from children
The tears of loss
The songs of truth
Wisdom from experience

All from the hand of God

Comfort for fear
The assurance of salvation
The acceptance of wrestling
Freedom from truth

All from the hand of God

Strength for the trial
The hope of His return
The peace from His Sovereignty
Joy from trust

All from the hand of God

Wholeness from brokenness
The completeness of forgiveness
The blindness of grace
Holiness from imperfection

All from the hand of God

Rest from confidence
The belief from unbelief
The release from bondage
Surrender from faith

All from the hand of God

Wisdom for godliness
The courage to obey
The heart for service
Compassion for others

All from the hand of God

Friends for a time
The ones that sharpen
The ones that listen
Friends that last

All from the hand of God

The hand of God all from the heart of God!
