Snippet
You can’t make God love you more; you can’t make God love
you less. The cross is God‘s perfect
expression of love!
Scripture
My response is to get down on my knees before the Father,
this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth. I ask him to
strengthen you by his Spirit—not a brute strength but a glorious inner
strength—that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in.
And I ask him that with both feet planted firmly on love, you’ll be able to
take in with all followers of Jesus the extravagant dimensions of Christ’s
love. Reach out and experience the breadth! Test its length! Plumb the depths!
Rise to the heights! Live full lives, full in the fullness of God. Ephesians

Cactus In The Valley by Lights
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzihroOcmtA
I never meant to wither
I wanted to be tall
Like a fool left the river
And watched my branches fall
Old and thirsty, I longed for the flood
To come back around
To the cactus in the valley
That's about to crumble down
And wipe the mark of sadness from my face
Show me that your love will never change
If my yesterday is a disgrace
Tell me that you still recall my name
So, the storm finally found me
And left me in the dark
In the cloud around me
I don't know where you are
If this whole world goes up in arms
All I can do is stand
And I won't fight for anyone
Until you move my hand
And wipe the mark of madness from my face
Show me that your love will never change
If my yesterday is a disgrace
Tell me that you still recall my name
Oh, here
In the shadow
Here I am
And I need someone by my side
It becomes so
Hard to stand
And I keep trying to dry my eyes
Come and find me
In the valley
And wipe the mark of sadness from my face
Show me that your love will never change
If my yesterday is a disgrace
Tell me that you still recall my name
Wipe the mark of madness from my face
Show me that your love will never change
If my yesterday is a disgrace
Tell me that you still recall my name
Woo ooh
Tell me that you still recall my name, no
Tell me that you still recall my name, mm mm
Sentence Prayer
Father God, I come into your presence so aware of my human
frailty and yet overwhelmed by your love for me. I thank you that there is no
human experience that I might walk through where your love cannot reach me. If
I climb the highest mountain you are there and yet if I find myself in the
darkest valley of my life, you are there. Teach me today to love you more. Help
me to rest in that love that asks nothing more than the simple trusting heart
of a child. In Jesus name, Amen
