Pass it on : Kurt Kaiser

I would like to share a song, by Kurt Kaiser, that I was reminded of during my morning devotions.

This prompted me to make a quick sketch based on the song, now refined by AI tools, that I would like to share as well.

It only takes a spark, To get a fire going

And soon all those around, Can warm up in its glowing

That's how it is with God's love, Once you've experienced it

You spread His love to ev'ryone,

You want to pass it on

What a wondrous time is spring, When all the trees are budding

The birds begin to sing, The flowers start their blooming

That's how it is with God's love, Once you've experienced it

You want to sing it's fresh like spring,

You want to pass it on

I wish for you my friend, This happiness that I've found

You can depend on Him, It matters not where you're bound

I'll shout it from the mountain top, I want my world to know

The Lord of love has come to me

I want to pass it on

Time: Karios and Chronus part A: Psalms 3 and 4

A Time for Everything 1 For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. 2 A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. 3 A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. 4 A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. 5 A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. 6 A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. 7 A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. 8 A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace. 9 What do people really get for all their hard work? 10 I have seen the burden God has placed on us all. 11 Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. 12 So I conc...

Ask, Seek, Knock

In the past month I have been reflecting on Jesus’ three simple yet life-changing invitations : “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you” ( Matthew 7:7–8 ). As I have read, re-read and reflected on these words, often with cross references, I have discovered that these are not just an assurance of God that He answers prayers, but they are an invitation to draw closer to God in every season of life. Ask and Receive When we come to God with our needs, we discover that He is a loving Father who delights in giving good gifts to His children. We often ask for daily provisions: food, clothing, health, stability, which He graciously provides. Yet, the greatest gift He God is willing to give to all who ask, as the panacea of all our needs, is the Holy Spirit ( Luke 11:13 ). The Spirit is not merely a power, but God Himself dwelling within us. He convicts us of sin , teaches us truth , comforts us in trials , and empowers us...

Psalm 1 : Meditations

PSALM 1 1 Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord , And in His law he meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. Blessed "Is" the man, or "Is" the man! or "Is" the man? With the word "is" jumping out from the first line, the first Psalm kind of points its deep finger at me. The four word opening of the Psalm takes a twist as an exclamation and even as a question. With the key word "meditate" in the second verse, I kind of feel meditation as a process of the pointing of a the Spirit's finger (like the diagnostic finger as in Mc Burney's point for appendicitis) leading to opening me up with a scalpel and a forceps to dig, cut, scoop,...
