To align your will with God’s
to submit to His plan
to surrender to His love
this is the proper use of the will
in this you will find peace
in this you will find joy
in this you will find abundance
this is His greatest desire for you
to experience His blessings
to experience His love
to experience eternity with Him
this is your destiny
if you accept it

Give the Lord
your first fruits
in the morning
take the time
to sit in prayer
to rest in silence
to ask for guidance
and to listen
listen through the quiet
for the whisper of His voice
for the warmth of His light
and the peace of His presence
give the Lord your first fruits
as if the day belongs to Him
the day belongs to Him
YOUR FIRST FRUITS

God wants you to rest
in Him
He wants you to come to Him
with your troubles
your worries and your weariness
He wants you to find comfort
in His embrace
and peace
in His ways
but He wants you to want this
He will never impose His will
or force Himself upon you
it has to be your choice
to choose Him
TO CHOOSE HIM

In a world of chaos
my God is a bringer of peace
in a world full of lies
my God is a bringer or truth
in a world of change
my God is constant
in a world where everything passes
my God is eternal
in a world full of fear and hatred
my God is love
MY GOD IS

make a home
in the private room
of your heart
where you can commune
with the divine presence
that informs
the quiet part of you
to be patient
kind
and forgiving
beneath the noise
of your selfishness
pride and fear
THE PRIVATE ROOM
