Safety: 1 John: Prayers and Poetry

                Safety

                Committed love and mercy 

                grace and direction on

                every step we take

                yet too often we do not

                recognize or even know

                this gift of love

                never broken yet waiting

                often for us to yield

                accept Spirit's powerful safety

                speaking into us with witness.

Psalm 107:20: "He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.

Reading:1st John 4:13-15: "By this we know that we abide in Him and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. And we have beheld and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him and he in God.
