Prayer is the beginning and the end, the source and the fruit,
the core and the content, the basis and the goal of all peacemaking.

Resting in that promise,
I am content”

Is that a peony blooming already?
I think some kind of mum —
Reblogged this on Talmidimblogging.
So true. Prayer is our avenue to directly communicating with God. How sweet is that?
I know right?!
Am including in my prayer those who don’t know that their action is off the mark, Thank you again Cookie, this is a comfort to me
a wonderful action indeed!
Gotta love that truth jewels……..where……….sin abounded. As in the hearts of men
Now some geography to make you, me, we, delight further.
WHERE sin abounded? Aah, many places on earth, but none so undeserving of favor as that city of the great King….WHERE also our Lord was crucified.
And this grace abounded? Yep, right there in Jerusalem, WHERE first this offer went forth.
God’s word is so good and rich, eh?
so true CS…and all I can think about is that commentator over on Wally’s site making that snide remark about Jerusalem when Wally was on his trip….it is the one true epicenter of the very salvation for man…a far cry from an imagined Disneyesque panacea….
A great quote from Henri Nouwen! Prayers for you continue.
thank you Lynda
Yes, yes, yes and knowing that the father of lies too comes UNDER the authority of our Savior!!! 🙂 ❤
