Here I am Lord!

 

Is It I Lord, you call? Listen! I hear his voice calling in the summer breeze, in the sight of the trees moving and leaves rustling. Listen! I hear his voice calling when the sky is grey and it starts to rumble, I hear his mighty voice in the wind that is so powerful and peaceful.

One of the most well-known hymns sung in church and is one of my favorites is “Here I am, Lord.” By Daniel L. Schutte & New Dawn Music.

Do you hear the Lord calling in the night?

Will we go if he leads us?

Will we hold his people in our arms?

Sometimes, we will listen and listen again but never quite understand, we see and see again, but not perceive. Each week, The Gospel, is preached to the whole world and this is an invitation for us to respond effectively with true faith.

When we respond and answer the call, we are called because there is always work that God needs each one of us to do. For we are called to speak up for injustice, the unwanted, we are to love one another as he as loved us, we are called to be humble, to put the needs of others before our own, we are to share bread with the hungry, shelter the homeless poor, to clothe the naked. We are made to make a difference in this world Women of Faith and Hope.

God has called us all to a life of peace, we do not need to fear for the Lord guides our steps and makes safe the path, though we might stumble we shall never fall for our Lord holds our hand. There are plans for all of us, plans for peace, not disaster, reserving a future full of hope.

May God Bless Always, Women of Faith and Hope
