All creation is interdependent, related, connected.
"No man is an island"
We are as pebbles,
tumbled and jostled in the river of life;
our rough and jagged edges gradually smoothed away.
God, you are the fabric of my being.
You are the language of love.

More sundry thoughts on God and us
God is the personification of love and truth.
Our bodies are the sacred shells of our souls.
We are all cogs in the great wheel of life.
However small or faulty, we are, each one of us,
intrinsically vital, unique and irreplaceable.
Cauterise and circumcise my heart.
You, God, are the all-pervading presence
of love, joy and peace.

Sundry thoughts on God and life
That we are all still imperfect,
and yet so beloved by God,
is proof of the all-encompassing compassion of God's grace.
Let us be dignified and humble in that knowledge.
Our bodies should be the servants of our souls
and not the masters.
To raise the lowly and humble the proud
are equal acts of love
in God's sight.
God wants to be our comforter.
God is the ultimate dimension
which surrounds and enfolds all of space and time.

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.
