Our pastor (Pastor Tom Holliday) said that “God speaks to us in a lullaby” meaning that He draws near to us with such abounding grace, forgiveness, and generous love that we almost can’t fathom it with our mortal hearts. After a tender sermon on John 3:16-21, my heart felt full. I feel the lullaby. I am aware that these are not easy days for many people, for many readers. We can be encouraged by listening for the hope that comes from Our Lord Jesus Christ. (August 08.2019)
God’s Lullaby
The lullaby comes near to us
softly, sweetly in life’s hush;
like a stream that runs at dawn
with waters new, filled with His song.
Times can burden, trials restrict;
wandering through this haze conflicts.
Yet here we find the miracle of-
in the midst of all, God’s Love, God’s Love.
His Lullaby, in softness intones,
it whispers “Here. Here is home.”
We wrap our hearts around, around-
within God’s song, our hearts rebound.
Take our burdens, lift our lives.
Draw us near into ancient hive
Lulled by Love in sweeping dive-
There we hope in sweet revive.

Matthew 11:26-29
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
Isaiah 12:2
“Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.”
