SUNDAY REFLECTIONS

"Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by name; you are mine.

When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;

and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.

When you walk through the fire,

you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.

For I am the Lord, your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior." Isiah 43

"God is a great big God, though you can't see him or hear him, He is always with you." (John Ortberg)

We are the flyers and God-He is the catcher. Our job is to wait and remain faithful while waiting for Him to catch you. The same God that stood by Paul in Acts is also standing by me.

"The one thing you can count on is that the God you call upon will show up."Frederick Buechner

"Before you were ever born, you were beloved in the mind of God. This is the deepest secret to your identity. It cannot be earned or won, only gratefully embraced." Ortberg

"The irony is we spend our lives trying to earn the love that we can only receive when we admit our poverty of spirit."Ortberg

Comforting words on this Sabbath.
