Only God Gives Happiness.
The Path Following Jesus
is Soooo Steep,
We Cannot On Our Own Make It,
Not At All.
Psalm 146:5-7
Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the Lord their God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them; who keeps faith for ever; who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free ….
.
2 Corinthians 9:10
He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
…
Words of Grace for Today –
…
When we think we can …
we can make things better for ourselves, and our loved ones, and those like us …
we can do God’s Will …
we can do God’s Will, not like yester-years, but now more completely, better, more blessedly …
we can make the world right with our judgments and efforts …
When we think we can
we take the first step into foolishness
and disaster
for ourselves and everyone effected by us.
Only when we turn,
helpless
hopeless
exhausted
hungry for life
thirsting for truth
starving for love …
Only when we turn, saying I can NOT,
Only when we turn to God, and cry for help,
do we start the day well,
reading ourselves to shared the gifts of God,
being Jesus’ hands and feet executing justice for the oppressed; giving food to the hungry,
making, by Grace alone, things better
for all creation.
