To and Fro

The Wind

The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.  John 3:8

Humility

Jasper Silas Neal ©2015

Those who walk before God in humility are:

Weak enough to lean upon His strength.

  Small enough to look upon His greatness. 

Patient enough to wait upon His timing. 

Empty enough to draw upon His fullness.

Poor enough to depend upon His riches.

Needy enough to count upon His grace. 

Grateful enough to live upon His love.

The Knots Prayer

{via}

Dear God,

Please untie the knots that are in my mind, my heart and my life. 

Remove the have nots, the can nots and the do nots that I have in my mind. 

Erase the will nots, may nots, might nots that may find a home in my heart.

Release me from the could nots, would nots and should nots that obstruct my life.

 

And most of all, Dear God, I ask that you remove from my mind, my heart and my life all of the 'am nots' that I have allowed to hold me back, especially the thought that I am not good enough. Amen.

- Ronnie Knott

America The Beautiful

{via}

O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain.  For purple mountain majesties, Above the fruited plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee. And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet, Whose stern impassioned stress. A thoroughfare for freedom beat; Across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine every flaw. Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved, In liberating strife. Who more than self their country loved, And mercy more than life! America! America! May God thy gold refine. Till all success be nobleness, And every gain divine!

O Beautiful for patriot dream, That sees beyond the years. Thine alabaster cities gleam, Undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed His grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea!

[Katherine Lee Bates]
