Finally, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me – put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:8-9

IN THE SILENCE OF HIS SURE PRESENCE


LORD__I'M ONLY AS NEAR YOU AS MY OWN THOUGHTS OF YOU.


AS CLOSE AS MY BEATING HEART.


NOW AS I BOW MY HEAD, AWARE OF EACH PRICELESS MEASURED BREATH,


I THANK YOU FOR BEING THERE, FOR LISTENING, AND KNOWING IT BECAUSE OF FAITH.


THAT FAITH THAT HAS COME FROM HEARING YOU.


THAT STILL, AND NEARLY SILENT VOICE THAT SPEAKS CLEAR AND PLAINLY IN MY HEART.


YOU HAVE MADE IT SO LORD. YOU HAVE GIVEN ME EYES TO SEE AND EARS TO HEAR, WHAT I ONCE COULD NOT.


NOW IN THIS QUIET PLACE__THE NEARNESS OF YOU, PRESSES THE OIL OF GLADNESS FROM ME.


MAY IT BE A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE TO YOU MY LORD.
