We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
Augustine

A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.

28:1 <> To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me; Lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

28:2 Hear the voice of my petitions, when I cry to you, When I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.

28:3 Don’t draw me away with the wicked, With the workers of iniquity who speak peace with their neighbors, But mischief is in their hearts.

28:4 Give them according to their work, and according to the wickedness of their doings. Give them according to the operation of their hands. Bring back on them what they deserve.

28:5 Because they don’t regard the works of Yahweh, Nor the operation of his hands, He will break them down and not build them up.

28:6 Blessed be Yahweh, Because he has heard the voice of my petitions.

28:7 Yahweh is my strength and my shield. My heart has trusted in him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart greatly rejoices. With my song I will thank him.

28:8 Yahweh is their strength. He is a stronghold of salvation to his anointed.

28:9 Save your people, And bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd also, And bear them up forever.
