God still believes in me

| 7 Comments

My ten year old daughter normally fills the hard disk with pictures she's created on the computer, I have however just discovered that she's been turning her hand to Liturgy. I rather like this:

"When I am sad God gives me a big heavenly hug that fills me up with hope, joy and love.

When I am happy God is happy and he rejoices so all the angels can hear.

When I am guilty God reminds me his son died for me on the cross,

When I feel far from God, God is still near,

When I am ill God comforts me and helps me get better,

When I am tired God fills me up with sleepy thoughts and gives me a peaceful sleep,

When I am not believing in God, God still believes in me,

When I am rejoicing God rejoices too,

When I have given up God is still going…God is always with me"

I bet you were just a tinsy winsy proud too!! What with the pictures and now the liturgy, the book can't be far away!

wow. that's great. could you ask your daughter if i could use it with a group?

Robert,

Thanks for checking, I'll ask her tonight and get back to you.

Said this in private, but was so touched by these words. Even the title hit me, just what I neede personally this week, had a hell of a tough time recently, various things going on, but to hear those words, to read that passage, wow, bet she didn't get that from her dad?

My daughter says it's fine for anyone to use it. What would be cool though is just to e-mail or comment and let us know where it was used.
Shalom

Dunno when I want to use it but I think it's great!
