Everything comes from him; everything happens through him; everything ends up in him (Romans 11:36; TM).
Prayer is what we say to God –
And what God says to us.
Faith is what we seek from God –
And what God seeks from us.
Pain is what we share with God –
And what God shares with us.
Thirst is how we long for God –
And how God longs for us.
Love is how we live in God –
And how God lives in us.
Life is what God gives to us –
And what God takes from us.
The LORD gives both death and life (1 Samuel 2:8; NLT).
The dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it (Ecclesiastes 12:7; NIV).
