STRONG LOVE

Snippet

The more rooted in the love of God, the more generously we live our faith and practice it.  Brennan Maning Reflections of a Ragamuffin pg. 157

Scripture

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. John 3:16,17 NIV

Song Your Love is Strong by Jon Foreman

Heavenly Father
You always amaze me
Let your kingdom come
In my world and in my life
You give me the food I need
To live through the day
And forgive me as I forgive
The people that wronged me
Lead me far from temptation
Deliver me from the evil one
I look out the window
The birds are composing
Not a note is out of tune
Or out of place
I look at the meadow
And stare at the flowers
Better dressed than any girl
On her wedding day
So why do I worry?
Why do I freak out?
God knows what I need
You know what I need
Chorus (3x):
Your love is
Your love is
Your love is strong
The kingdom of the heavens
Is now advancing
Invade my heart
Invade this broken town
The kingdom of the heavens
Is buried treasure
Will you sell yourself
To buy the one you've found?
Two things you told me
That you are strong
And you love me
Yes, you love me
(Chorus 3x)
Our God in heaven
Hallowed be
Thy name above all names
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us today our daily bread
Forgive us wicked sinners
Lead us far away from our vices
And deliver us from these prisons

Sentence Prayer


Lord Jesus, you taught us to pray.  Now help us pray for our daily bread while laboring with love for those who hunger.  Show us how to hallow your name while striving for justice in our relationships and in society.  May our whole lives become a prayer, ever to your glory.  Amen.  Common Prayer a Liturgy for ordinary Radicals pg 441
