the greatest of these is love

it's a few days to camp, and it seems that many things have been happening in their lives. somehow, i've been made aware of the stuff that's been going on. hurts, pains, sins, ugly sides, secrets etc. some are kinda expected to me, while others are just shocking. (so does he know what's going on between me and..?) hehe maybe

well, but nothing surprises God, i suppose. hopefully they'll find some solace in this truth. He's all-knowing, and all-able to mend broken hearts. if only we'd ask. somehow, i'm beginning to see the need for these young peeps - my sheep - to come to a knowledge about God's marvelous provision in terms of covering. if only they'd realise that He's built a shelter for all, and if only we'd rest under that covering, we'll be okay. that's why under cover.

it's all about healing relationships. faith, hope and love, and the greatest of these is love. love is the epitomy of relationships. faith involves boldness to believe, hope involves the ability to dream of a better possibility, but love involves... another person.

it's all about relationships. if only we'd get it right. somehow, i've gotten over the frustration about their lack of understanding, and have switched to having a compassion for them. perhaps the work has to begin in me first before it starts in them. under cover - the shepherd has to be made right before those under my authority can be blessed.

sometimes, i find it sheepish to call them sheep, but it was they way Jesus saw his disciples, so o well, i'm on my journey to discover the intimacy of such an address.

we are one. let no deceit break our unity. i'm praying hard for God to come through this time and save the day once again. only He can prove Himself mighty to save.

behold the coming of His Majesty. same time, same channel.
