| If you want to touch God's heart, use the name he loves to hear. Call him "Father".
WE ALL NEED A FATHER
My daughter Jenna and I spent several days in the old city of Jerusalem...One afternoon, as we were exiting the Jaffa gate, we found ourselves behind an Orthodox Jewish family- a father and his three small girls. One of the daughters, perhaps four or five years of age, fell a few steps behind and couldnt see her father. "Abba!" she called to him. He stopped and looked. Only then did he realize he was separated from his daughter. "Abba!" she called again. He spotted her and immediately extended his hand...
He held her hand tightly in his as they descended the ramp...When the signal changed, he led her and her sisters through the intersection. In the middle of the street, he reached down and swung her up into his arms and continued their journey.
Isnt that what we all need? An Abba who will hear when we call? Who will take our hand when we are weak? Who will guide us through the hectic intersections of life? Dont we all need an Abba who will swing us up into his arms and carry us home? We all need a Father.
(From: The Great House of God) Abba, Abba I am truley lost without you. We are broken people in this world. But We are your broken people so Father thank you so much that you are God, that we can trust in you our lives because you are our Father and May we know that when we call your name, Father, you hear our cry | | |

I am working YOUTHWORKS! this summer as a program staff director in site I in Chicago, IL. All summer i will be leading worship and trying my best to fullfill the job description of a program dicrector for students who are taking missions trips to Chicago.
im nervous...feeling incapable as well as a little hopeful... | | |
| Someone who sees grace as permission to sin has missed grace entirely. Mercy understood is holiness desired.
GRACE TEACHES US HOW TO LIVE
Do you ever compromise tonight, knowing you'll confess tomorrow?
It's easy to be like the fellow visiting Las Vegas who called the preacher, wanting to know the hours of the Sunday service. The preacher was impressed. "Most people who come to Vegas don't do so to go to church."
"Oh, I'm not coming for the church. I'm coming for the gambling and parties and wild women. If I have half as much fun as I intend to, I'll need a church come Sunday morning."
Is that the intent of grace? Is God's goal to promote disobedience? Hardly, "Grace...teaches us not to live against God nor to do the evil things the world wants us to do. Instead, that grace teaches us to live now in a wise and right way and in a way that shows we serve God" (Titus 2:11-12). God's grace has released us from selfishness. Why return?

| Dont ask God to do what you want. Ask God to do what is right.
THE CURE FOR DISSAPOINTMENT
When God doesn't do what we want, it's not easy. Never has been. Never will be. But faith is the conviction that God knows more than we do about this life and He will get us through it.
Remember, dissapointment is cured by revamped expectations.
I like the story about the fellow who went to the pet store in search of a singing parakeet. Seems he was a bachelor and his house was too quiet. The store owner had just the bird for him, so the man bought it.
The next day the bachelor came home from work to a house full of music. He went to the cage to feed the bird and noticed for the first time that the parakeet had only one leg.
He felt cheated that he'd been sold a one-legged bird, so he called and complained.
"What do you want," the store owner responded, "a bird who can sing or a bird who can dance?"
Good question for times of dissapointment.

Without Love...
|
|
Let me be patient let me be kind
Make me unselfish without being blind
Though I may suffer I'll envy it not
And endure what comes
Cause he's all that I got and
tell him...
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
And it'll be alright
Now I may have faith to make mountains fall
But if I lack love then I am nothin' at all
I can give away everything I possess
But left without love then I have no happiness
I know I'm imperfect
& not without sin
But now that I'm older all childish things end
and tell him...
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
And it'll be alright
I'll never be jealous
And I won't be too proud
Cause love is not boastful
Oooh and loveis not loud
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
Everything's gonna be alright
Now I may have wisdom and knowledge on Earth
But if I speak wrong then what is it worth?
See what we now know is nothing compared
to the love that was shown when our lives were spared
and tell him...
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
And it'll be alright
Tell him be alright be alright
