Author Henri Nouwen's mentor, Jean Vanier—who founded the L'Arch Communities for those with mental and physically handicaps and disabilities—gave this benediction blessing over Nouwen at his ordination service:
May all your expectations be frustrated.
May all your plans be thwarted.
May all your desires be withered into nothingness,
That you may experience the powerlessness and poverty of a child
and sing and dance in the love of God the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. Amen and Amen.
Lord, in our dreams may Your dreams come true.
Grateful
Jesus be the center of my life
ReplyDeleteJesus be the center of my life
From beginning to the end, it will always be
It's always been You Jesus
Jesus
Nothing else matters
Nothing in this world will do
Jesus You're the center
Everything revolves around You
Jesus You
"Jesus Be The Center "
Israel Houghton
Amen. JESUS IS MY LIFE!
