Love Moves

"When I have plotted, manipulated, fixated and schemed my way into a realization that I am just desperately needy of God to do something, then love moves." - John Lynch, www.Truefaced.com

I love our God. I will follow our God. I will trust our God. I will praise and worship our God. I will teach others of God’s love. I will depend upon the love of God to heal me. I will continue to model God’s life of grace to my family and friends, even when I am in my own pain.

~ I love our God.
