“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you;
“Before you were born I sanctified you:
“I ordained you a prophet to the nations”
Jeremiah 1:5
You are the red thread,
in the beautiful journey that is your life, interwoven with all the other colors that make up the whole.

“For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.” Psalm 5:12 KJV
In the morning singing, ‘You surround me with a shield of favor,’ then all day, people were being generous to me; allowed in line before a man, my dress complimented as I crossed the street, a friend doing a favor, hearing that another friend is okay – not lost, but moved out of the area. People were ‘passing it forward’ into the night.
“…He makes His bow and makes it ready.” Psalm 7:12 (NKJV)
I am a bow in Your hands, Lord
Draw me, lest I rot
Do not overdraw me, Lord. I shall break
Overdraw me, Lord, and who cares if I break?
Nikos Kazantzakis, quoted from The Ragamuffin Gospel, Brennan Manning
Every time I read this poem it brings tears to my eyes. How many of us pledge our undying devotion to God, then get scared, and then surrender to Him all over again?
People are hungry for God.
People are hungry for love. Are you aware of that?
Do you know that? Do you see that?
Do you have eyes to see?
Quite often we look but we don’t see.
We are all passing through this world.
We need to open our eyes and see.
Mother Teresa
