      A Collection of Encouragement - Helen Steiner Rice

      Thanks

      LOVE FROM THE FATHER

      WARM OUR HEARTS WITH THY LOVE

      Oh God, who made the summer

      and warmed the earth with beauty,

      Warm our hearts with gratitude

      and devotion to our duty.

      For in this age of violence, rebellion, and defiance,

      We’ve forgotten the true meaning

      of dependable reliance.

      We have lost our sense of duty

      and our sense of values, too,

      And what was once unsanctioned no longer is taboo.

      Our standards have been lowered,

      and we resist all discipline,

      And our vision has been narrowed

      and blinded to all sin.

      Oh, put the summer brightness

      in our closed, unseeing eyes,

      So in the careworn faces that we pass we’ll recognize

      The heartbreak and the loneliness,

      the trouble and despair

      That a word of understanding

      would make easier to bear.

      Oh God, look down on our cold hearts

      and warm them with Your love,

      And grant us Your forgiveness

      which we’re so unworthy of.

      THE HAND OF GOD Is EVERYWHERE

      It’s true we have never looked on His face,

      But His likeness shines forth from every place,

      For the hand of God is everywhere

      Along life’s busy thoroughfare,

      And His presence can be felt and seen

      Right in the midst of our daily routine.

      Things we touch and see and feel

      Are what make God so very real.

      GOD’S LOVE IS A HAVEN IN THE STORMS OF LIFE

      God’s love is like an island

      in life’s ocean, vast and wide,

      A peaceful, quiet shelter from the restless, rising tide.

      God’s love is like a fortress,

      and we seek protection there

      When the waves of tribulation

      seem to drown us in despair.

      God’s love is like a sanctuary

      where our souls can find sweet rest

      From the struggle and the tension

      of life’s fast and futile quest.

      God’s love is like a tower rising far above the crowd,

      And God’s smile is like the sunshine

      breaking through the threatening cloud.

      God’s love is like a beacon

      burning bright with faith and prayer,

      And through all the changing scenes of life

      we can find a haven there.

      WHERE THERE IS LOVE

      Where there is love the heart is light,

      Where there is love the day is bright.

      Where there is love there is a song

      To help when things are going wrong.

      Where there is love there is a smile

      To make all things seem more worthwhile.

      Where there is love there’s a quiet peace,

      A tranquil place where turmoils cease.

      Love changes darkness into light

      And makes the heart take wingless flight.

      Oh, blessed are those who walk in love

      They also walk with God above….

      And love that once seemed yours alone

      God gently blends into His own.

      WORRY NO MORE—GOD KNOWS THE SCORE

      Have you ever been caught in a web you didn’t weave,

      Involved in conditions that are hard to believe?

      Have you ever felt you must speak and explain and deny

      A story that’s groundless or a small, whispered lie?

      Have you ever heard rumors you would like to refute

      Or some telltale gossip you would like to dispute?

      Well, don’t be upset, for God knows the score,

      And with God as your judge you need worry no more.

      For men may misjudge you, but God’s verdict is fair,

      For He looks deep inside and is deeply aware

      Of every small detail in your pattern of living,

      And always He’s fair and lenient and forgiving,

      And knowing that God is your judge and your jury

      Frees you completely from man’s falseness and fury.

      And secure in this knowledge, let your thoughts rise above

      Man’s small, shallow judgments that are so empty of

      God’s goodness and greatness in judging men,

      And forget ugly rumors and be happy again.
