By Danny Belrose of Blue Springs, Missouri USA

…they are before the throne of God, and worship him day and night within his temple, and the one who is seated on the throne will shelter them. They will hunger no more, and thirst no more; the sun will not strike them, nor any scorching heat; for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Live It Now!

God dreams!
Of a home for the lost,
Where the lonely can laugh,
Where love without cost
Shapes the worshiper’s path.
God’s dream can be our dream!
Live it now!

God prays!
That the Word will be found
In all faiths far and wide,
That love’s truth is not bound
By strict creeds that divide.
God’s prayer can be our prayer!
Live it now!

God weeps!
For a world incomplete
For a people denied,
For the nations to meet
So that peace can preside.
God’s tears can be our tears!
Live it now!

God calls!
For a people who sing
Songs of hope for the lost
For our sharing to spring
Free of measure and cost.
God’s call can be our call!
Live it now!

(Wave Offerings, Herald House, 2005, p. 51)

Prayer Phrase

“For in hope we were saved” (Romans 8:24).

Light

Close your eyes and become centered with your breath. As you breathe gently in and out, reflect on the statement, “The light of God is in all things.” The light has a bright, soft beauty and radiates God’s healing love. The light of God reaches you and permeates you with a deep sense of peace. Rest in the light as it surrounds and fills you. Thank God that you live in God’s light, and it lives in you.
