At the Sound of Your Waterfalls

Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls;
All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me.
The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime;
And His song will be with me in the night,
A prayer to the God of my life.
Psalm 42:7-8

Those Who Love Your Salvation

Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
Let such as love Your salvation say continually,
“The Lord be magnified!"
Psalm 40:16

A Prayer

Dear Jesus,
Help us to spread Your fragrance everywhere we go.
Flood our souls with Your Spirit and life.
Penetrate and possess our whole being so utterly
that our lives may only be a radiance of Yours.
Shine through us
and be in us
that every soul we come in contact with
may feel Your presence in our soul.
Let them look up and see no longer us
but only Jesus.
Stay with us
and then we shall begin to shine as You shine,
so to shine as to be light to others.
The light,
O Jesus,
will be all from You
non of it will be ours.
It will be You shining on other through us.
Let us thus praise You in the way You love best
by shining on those around us.
Let us preach You without preaching
not by words,
but by our example
by the catching force
the sympathetic influence of what we do
the evident fullness of the love our hearts bear to You.
Amen.

-Mother Teresa

Nature

"If we are children of God, we have a tremendous treasure in nature. In every wind that blows, in every night and day of the year, in every sign of the sky, in every blossoming and in every withering of the earth, there is a real coming of God to us if we will simply use our starved imagination to realize it."
Oswald Chambers
My Utmost for His Highest
