1 Corinthians 1

⁵ For in him you have been enriched in every way—with all kinds of speech and with all knowledge— ⁶ God thus confirming our testimony about Christ among you. ⁷ Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. ⁸ He will also keep you firm to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. ⁹ God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
NIV

Ik geloof

Ik geloof dat ik op deze aarde ben
om iets moois, iets goeds
van mijn leven te maken

Ik geloof dat ik de verplichting heb
iets moois van de aarde te maken
speciaal ook voor anderen

Ik geloof, dat ik met volle teugen mag genieten
van alles wat deze aarde te bieden heeft
maar nooit ten koste van een ander

Ik geloof dat ik naar de geest van Christus
moet leven en mijn medemens
de hand moet reiken
door met hem mee te leven
en hem begrip en liefde te tonen

Ik geloof, dat ik door zó te leven
mijn leven zin geef; en dan
is het leven waard geleefd te worden

Amen

The River by Brian Doerksen

To the river I am going
Bringing sins I cannot bear
Come and cleanse me, come forgive me
Lord I need to meet you there

Precious Jesus, I am ready
To surrender every care
Take my hand now, lead me closer
Lord I need to meet you there

In these waters, healing mercy
Flows with freedom from despair
I am going, to that river
Lord I need to meet you there

Precious Jesus, I am ready
To surrender every care
Take my hand now, lead me closer
Lord I need to meet you there

Come and join us, in the river
Come find life beyond compare
He is calling, He is waiting
Jesus longs to meet you there

Precious Jesus, I am ready
To surrender every care
Take my hand now, lead me closer
Lord I need to meet you there

Green Grass

Thought for the week….


The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence.
Fences have nothing to do with it.
The grass is greenest where it is watered.
When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be.

Robert Fulghum (1937— )
