IN HIS LOVING PRESENCE

 

IN HIS LOVING PRESENCE

It has been a tough year=

But we were=and ALWAYS

Will be

INTHE LOVING PRESENCE OF GOD

We will be again

This year=in 2021=

No matter what

The year brings

“Lord=now let your SERVANT

Go in peace=

Your word-has been fulfilled” Luke 2:29

Joseph and Mary went

To Jerusalem to DEDICATE

Their child to God=

And Simeon took the child

In his arms

And GAVE THANKS to God

In that moment=

Simeon knew he was

In the PRESENCE

Of someone SPECIAL

And we are ALL too=

In the presence

Of someone special

Our Lord Jesus

And the Holy Father

And in the PRESENCE

Of his Holy Spirit=

In each=and every one of us

IN HIS LOVING PRESENCE

“Blessed are those

Who have learned

To acclaim you

Who walk

In the light

OF YOUR PRESENCE LORD” Psalm 89:15

“For Christ=did not enter a sanctuary

Made with human hands

That was only a copy

Of the true one-

He entered heaven itself

Now to appear for us

IN GOD'S PRESENCE” Hebrews 9:24

Another year

Is coming to an end=

What do you see

When you LOOK BACK

At the year 2020?

What EMOTIONS do

The year of 2020=

Bring back to you? What events?

Whatever they are=we spent them TOGETHER

And in

The LOVING PRESENCE=of our Lord

And we will spend 2021

With him again

OUR JOURNEY is with the Lord=

We are always

IN HIS LOVING PRESENCE

Our journey=my journey=your journey

WE TAKE TOGETHER

In the LOVING PRESENCE

Of the Lord

Simeon KNEW God was

At work in his life

And he is AT WORK

In our lives too=

We are ALIVE in the Lord

“........being confident of this

That he who began

A GOOD WORK IN YOU

Will carry it on=to completion

Until the day of Christ Jesus” Philippians 1:6

And so as we look BACK

On 2020=and forward to 2021

Let us know=

That the Lord was with us

Just as he was with Simeon

All those years ago

In every moment=we are IN

HIS LOVING PRESENCE

In Jesus' name
