But for today I am grace enough
Bringing you peace and purest love
The weight of worry weighs heavy
You're scared that you're not ready
But for today I am strength enough
For, as sure as the sun rises above
I'm holding on so don't you fear
In every laugh and through every tear
But for today I am light enough
If the spirit is weak and the fight too tough
If on the mountain ***** you lose hope
I will lift you up and carry you
But for today I am good enough
Today let me be all that you need
I love you, and I give you my peace
By my name, chaos and striving cease
But for Today

For what can I give the Lord
Who has given me everything?
How can I ever make a return for
The blessings He bestows on me?
The day you paid my debt in full
Unworthy and ungracious as I was,
Beneath pride, and nature, sinful,
You pierced me with undying love.

You breathed and I came alive.
And when you died to give me life,
You breathed out once again.
Let every breath I take praise you
Let my spirit sing, my lips speak truth,
Everything I do, I do it for you.
My work, my play, my rise, my sleep
In joy, in fear, when I laugh, when I weep
When I follow and when I lead
When I tend to someone's need
In little ways and in big ways
On good days and truly awful days.
When I live with Jesus on my mind
I see that, through it all, He is kind.
So, at the end of it all, at His feet, I will fall
And I will say to Jesus my Lord and Kind
I have given you my all in everything

God said to Noah "Hey, listen up bud!
Gonna rain real soon now, it's gonna flood
The people are sinning, tearing it apart
And to see it man, really breaks my heart.
It's gonna be huge, it's gonna get wet
I tell you now, you ain't seen nothin' yet!
But you and yours are gonna be just fine
You've been good, a real friend of mine
Listen up good now and listen up well
Here's just how you'll be safe from the swell
You'll build a boat yea big and yea wide
'Cause two of every animal's gotta fit inside
You'll be in there forty days and as many nights
And when it's safe again, the bird alights
Never again will I cause a flood so great
Never again will the earth suffer this fate
So, this is my promise, a sign in the sky
A rainbow to remember the covenant by"

On your own strength, do not rely
But rest secure in the Lord's supply
On our own we are frail and weak
The future is grim, the prospect bleak
Trust in the Lord and all his ways
And you will know peace in your days
Many will try to enter and many will fail
Some of them will beg, but to no avail
Standing on the outside and looking in
At strangers and friends and their own kin
They will say "We were with you, among us you walked
And we all listened when you talked
Let us in Lord, you know who we are"
And He will reply "Depart from me so far
I do not know from where you come
I do not know you from any one
It is not enough to drop my name"
Where do your intentions rest
A personal intimate relationship is best
And here, at last, is the sobering truth
A thing we don't often like to admit
We are not as strong as we think
But in our weakness, God can make much of it

The joy of their lives is linked, not to the worldly scope or scale of the mission, but to the belief that they are UNIQUELY SUITED to that role and the CONVICTION that they have been called to it. Does your life make sense to you? Are you AT PEACE with who you are, where you are, and what you are doing? The actual mission is an external expression of an internal reality.

What is your mission in life? What are you uniquely suited for? What gives you passion and enthusiasm? We must be willing to look beyond ourselves. Mission is the meeting between self and service. Driven by the needs of others and our need to serve. It is the point where our talents and passion collide with the needs of others and the world. It is not about "me". Mission may change overtime. Will it make me the best version of myself and how? What is the next right thing? What can I do right now? Here?

"First, do what is necessary, then do what is possible, and before long, you will find yourself doing the impossible."- St. Francis of Assisi

Receptive Silence

To not know what we should be doing in our lives and not doing, it is a greater tragedy and causes the human spirit to atrophy. Usually deterred by fear of uncertainty. Overcome by courage, fortitude, and perseverance. Mystery of mission is revealed little by little.

We are afraid because we don't know HOW things are going to work out, but things ARE going to work out" How do I respond to problems, challenges and trials in my life? Internal peace and calm.

For your love, we can do nothing to propitiate
By your love, our sins, you died to expiate

Go out to the world's edge
In faith, step out, on the ledge
Bring the gospel to every nation
Bring it to people of every station
Blessed those who are called least
Chosen to join in the great feast
Be careful not to take for granted
The bounty that God has planted
The weak will confound the strong
The stranger finds a place to belong
Come, join the flock, enter the fold
Find refuge from the storm and cold
Try hard to enter by the narrow gate
For many will fail to appreciate
The Mercy of God and the depth of his Grace
For those who are most often forgotten
