MEETING GOD    

 

I met God in the morning, when the day was at its best,

And His Presence came like sunrise, like a glory in my breast.

 

All day long His Presence lingered, all day he stayed with me,

And we sailed in perfect calmness o’er a very troubled sea.

 

Other ships were blown and battered, other ships were sore        

                                                                                    distressed,

But the winds which seemed to drive them, brought to me a peace

and rest.

 

Then I thought of other mornings with a keen remorse of mind,

When I too had loosed the moorings, with His Presence left behind.

 

So, I think I know the secret, learned from many a troubled way,

You must seek Him in the morning, if you want Him thro’ the day.

THE  WILL OF GOD

    

The Will of God will never take you –

  where the Comfort of God cannot dry your tears;

  or where the Word of God cannot feed you;

  or where the Miracles of God cannot be done for you;

  or where the Omnipresence of God cannot find you.
