Context: As soon as I woke and started to pray today, this is what I saw:
- Only God is worthy to be worshipped by all people, creatures and things.
- God makes, maintains and ends them all.
- God lives over, in and through them all.
- God can never be destroyed.
- God is the First and the Last: infinite and eternal.
- God is Love.
Then, as soon as I began to worship, this little prayer arrived:
God:
1. My Father,
And my Mother;
2. Spirit: Sister;
Jesus: Brother;
3. Maker, Shepherd,
Saviour, Lover:
4. You are all;
I want no other.
God will be all in all (1 Corinthians 15:28; TIB).
The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.
(Psalm 23:1; NLT).
