New hope

1Cor 10: 9-16

We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents, nor grumble, as some of them did and were destroyed by the Destroyer.  Now these things happened to them as an example, but they were written down for our instruction, on whom the end of the ages has come. Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall.  No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.  I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?

Lord,
Sometime I feel everything is too much
I feel like giving up
There are time when I feel I have given all I can
And just when i feel its all over
You remind me who I am
You give me new hope
You show me another way forward
Thank you for these special days

As for today 
Everything feels all right
But I still long to feel your presence 
You company
You reassurance
Come Holy Spirit
Come
