About co-creation

We have been enabled to be co-creators with God, 
but, oh how flawed.

We are God's 'toddlers' 
and God loves our 'works of art'  
as we love our little ones' first efforts,
which we hang so proudly 
on our kitchen walls.

At the end of each day,
let us give our offerings gladly,
our daily toils and joys, 
to God, 
who will cherish them.


Random thoughts on God's love for us

We are made from love, for love.

We are, each of us, an encapsulated morsel
of the love of God.

No-one can ever fully know or understand
the amazing and all-compassing love of God.

I am nothing but that which the love of God has made me.

Feel suffused in the love of God.

God's arms hold us 
and God's heart loves us
as a parent holds and loves
a precious newly-born child.

We are all living in the slipstream of God's love.


About faith, hope and love

God has made us 
to live by faith, in hope, for love.

In what should we place our faith?
If we really believe in the existence and reality of such concepts as Love, Truth, Beauty, Justice, Friendship, this belief will surely see us through the difficulties and hardships of life, no matter what comes our way.
It is this faith that gives us hope that "all will be well" one day, even if not 'today'.
The more we believe in, contemplate and trust in the loving power of God,
the more we may learn to hope and, hopefully, to love.

About God and praying - some thoughts

If we sit in a quiet and comfortable place, 
we may find ourselves slipping into the silent sanctuary of our souls 
and there, meet with God, our life and our love.

God, may I sink into you,
in silence and stillness,
at rest in the hammock of humility.

You have come into the room of my heart
and said to me,
"Be at peace.
Forget the mistakes, the failures and the betrayals of yesterday
and rest in the presence of my love"

God, we live in the pulse of your being.

God, you are the breath of my life.
