MIDI Music: "Morning Has Broken"
"My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my
savior."--Luke 1:46-47
I see God in my family--my inside family. I see God in the people who fill my days and
in the people I will never meet. I try in all sincerity to reflect God as He dwells within
me, in the way I live my life.
God cannot be silenced, nor can His love be silenced. God's love will rise from
suppression and fill the hearts in whom He dwells, and will overflow to all who are willing
to receive. A mother can say, "I will not have [God] in my house," but can she really keep
Him out? Can she keep God from His own dwelling place, the hearts of His children?
I open my heart to God, and God dwells within me, now and forever, as always, as it will be.
I hold my loved ones in my arms, and rock them gently; I listen, I invite their trust, and I
learn.
My story is not one of conversion, for I was born to share God's love. I was born to seek
the hearts of others, and to wrap them safely in my own; I was made to nurture and give life.
I have been kept silent, but I have not been silenced, for I live and love. I live my life
as a dwelling place of God in Jesus Christ, who shows me the way.
