A Listening Heart --

January 4, 2012

John Baillie (1886-1960), a Scottish theologian and author of A Diary of Private Prayer, considered a devotional classic, wrote/prayed:

"For the power Thou hast given me to lay hold of things unseen:

For the strong sense I have that this is not my home:

For my restless heart which nothing finite can satisfy:

I give Thee thanks, O God.

For the invasion of my soul by Thy Holy Spirit:

For all human love and goodness that speak to me of thee:

For the fullness of Thy glory outpoured in Jesus Christ:

I give Thee thanks, O God."

As a new year starts, may we be attentive to the prayers of our hearts, the desires of our souls, and with thanksgiving come humbly before God.

I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
