..How much more will your Father in 

heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!

How He Loves
David Crowder Band

When all of a sudden 
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realise just how beautiful You are 
and how great Your affections are for me

And oh how He loves us.. 
 how He loves us.. 

And heaven meets earth, like an unforeseen kiss
and my heart turns violently inside of my chest 
And I don't have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about the way ....

He loves us 
oh, He loves us ..
oh, how He loves....

**

`See how very much our Father loves us,
for He calls us His children,
and that is what we are...'

1 John 3:1

Rest

Be still, my soul

Kari Jobe

`In You, I rest

In You, I've found my hope

In You I trust 

You never let me go

I place my life

within Your hands, alone

***

 This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge,
 my place of safety;
He is my God, and I trust Him.

Psalm 91:2

Some trust in chariots

and some in horses,

but we trust in the name of the

Beautiful Things

You make beautiful things

You make beautiful things out of dust 

You make beautiful things 

You make beautiful things out of us

..Jesus said to Philip

"Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?"

He said this to test him, for He himself knew what He was going to do.

Philip answered, "Six months wages would not buy enough bread

for each of them to get a little"

One of the disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother said to Him;

"There is a boy here, who has five barley loaves and two fish,

but, what are they among so many people?"

Jesus said " Make the people sit down"

Now there was a great deal of grass in the place;

So they sat down, about five thousand.

Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks, He distributed them

to those who were seated; 

So also the fish, as much as they wanted.

When they were satisfied, He told His disciples,

"Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost."

So they gathered them up, and from the fragments of the five

barley loaves, left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets. 

John 6:5-13

Bestow

Moved with compassion, 

Jesus touched their eyes;

and immediately they received their sight

and followed Him.

Matt 20:34

***

Our children will also serve Him

Future generations will hear about the wonders of the Lord

Psalm 22:30

Surrender

Touch the Sky

Hillsong  United

`I found my life, when I laid it down..

I touch the sky, when my knees hit the ground..

Find me here at Your feet again..

everything I am;  

reaching out I surrender

Come sweep me up in Your love again

and my soul will dance

on the wings of forever`

Held

Dwelling Place

Nicole Nordeman

In You I trust

In You alone - my dwelling place will be..

**

Where can I go from Your Spirit?

Where can I flee from Your presence?

If I go up to the heavens... if I make my bed in the depths, 

You are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,

even there Your hand will guide me, 

Your right hand will hold me fast.

Psalm 139:7-10

The Hiding Place - Corrie Ten Boom
The Invasion p.67

She was making tea, she brought it into the dining room 
where we had covered the windows with heavy black paper and set out the best cups.
Somewhere in the night there was an explosion, 
the dishes in the cupboard rattled.
For an hour we sipped our tea and talked, 
until the sound of planes died away and the sky was silent.
 I said goodnight to Betsie...
 and groped my way up the dark stairs .. 
The fiery light was gone from the sky.
 I felt for my bed; there was my pillow. 
Then in the darkness my hand closed over something hard. Sharp too.
I felt blood trickle along a finger.
It was a piece of metal, ten inches long.
"Betsie!"
I raced down the stairs with the shrapnel shard in my hand.
We went back to the dining room and stared at it in the light, 
while Betsie bandaged my hand; "On your pillow," she kept saying.
"Betsie, if I hadn't heard you in the kitchen-"
But Betsie put a finger on my mouth;
"Don't say it, Corrie!
There are no if's in Gods world. 
And no places that are safer than other places.
The centre of His will is our only safety - 
O Corrie, let us pray that we may always know it!"
