Into my life
I weave the love of God
Into my striving and my being
I weave the peace of God
Into the frayed edges of my life
I weave the crimson thread
of His forgiveness and strength
Into my stony heart
I weave His kindness
melting me into love
Into my darkness
I weave His light and life
Into my time
I weave His eternity

Hi Angela. I love your blog but it is a shame that you only suggest that we help needy Christians. I have helped many wonderful people over the years and most of them were not Christians. I don't think God would want us to turn away from the needy if they aren't Christian
ReplyDeleteHi Cherie - not sure what you mean by saying that I "only suggest we help needy Christians". Whilst I acknowledge that many of the charities I support do have a Christian basis, certainly they do not restrict where they give aid, and many other caring groups I have promoted via the blog have no particular Christian emphasis.
ReplyDeleteI believe in giving aid where I can to WHOEVER is in need - and take Jesus' words in Matthew 25 and Luke 10 very seriously. I am not aware of ever suggesting that aid should only go to Christians. I am sorry if you have got that impression, as it is totally false.
I'll back Ang up on this- I've read her blog for years and not picked up any message like that. In fact her practical love & action for ANYONE really shine though many of her posts.
DeleteThank you Floss for your kind words
DeleteAnd just to say-great prayer, and just what I needed today. Thanks, Ang.
ReplyDeleteJut home from a weekend at Corrymeela. Wish I'd had this last night when we were leading worship. Did a sort of a thread thing. This would have made it much better!
ReplyDeleteA lovely prayer, thanks for sharing this.
