Lenexa, Kansas, United States - Soul Care "New Every Morning" for Tuesday, 9 September 2014 "God’s loyal love couldn’t have run out,his merciful love couldn’t have dried up.
They’re created new every morning.
How great your faithfulness!
I’m sticking with God (I say it over and over).
He’s all I’ve got left."(Lamentations 3:22-24)
Be Encouraged By God's Word:
When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died." When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. He said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see." Jesus began to weep. So the Jews said, "See how he loved him!"(John 11:32-36, NRSV)
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims:
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.(Henri J. M. Nouwen)
Pray Together with Us:
Christ who first gave you for a friend to me,
Christ keep you well, where'er you are, for me.
Earth's self shall go and the swift wheel of heave
Perish and pass, before our love shall cease.
Do but remember me, as I do you,
And God, who brought us on this earth together,
Bring us together in his house of heave.(Maurus to Abbot Grimold of St. Gall)
