Dear God,

Faith comes to us in so many beautiful ways.  When we are conscious and aware of your living presence, we look for you.  We long to hear your voice.  We want to connect with you.

In choir practice tonight we rehearsed lovely songs of faith.  But it was when we stepped into the sanctuary and sang "I Then Shall Live", I felt suddenly joyous.  My heart warmed and my spirit stirred, I closed my eyes and sang.  I reached heaven's doors and felt the wondrous touch of your presence clear down deep into my soul.  What peace filled me as I realized once again how lovely is faith and its power to transcend all we may be facing.  Even when life is good, very good, faith can take us to greater heights.

As I drove home afterwards, I hummed and sang, giving praise to you, Great God and Loving Father.

Holy are you,
Good Lord;
great is
your power
and love.
No one
can touch us
like you.
No one
can heal us
like you.
No one
can fill us
like you.
No one
can love us
like you.
No one
can inspire us
like you.
No one.

Love always, Andrea
