Musings on 1 John

1 John 3

Love

abide in Him, rest, be still

deep-rooted presence surrounding me

the Father has given me love

how then shall I live?

live like God for God is love

purify yourself for God is pure

abide in Him who is without sin

abide, be birthed from, filled with righteousness

Love, lay down your life.

Love, abide in the purified heart.

Love, gift of God, give to others.

Love, do not condemn our hearts this day.

Abide in love which is God for God is love.

Abide in us, o un-created Creator.

Abide in us, o Son of sacrifice.

Abide in us, o God-sent Spirit.

Abide in me, o love divine.

All things shall be made new again

A new year, a new life

A new beginning, with new strife

New struggles, new joys

New friends (and boys?)  

In all seriousness, though...this is 2010-a new year, a new decade.  It marks the beginning of my college years, the beginning of my adult years...new beginnings.  

Thanks for everything, old friends :)  You are one thing I will carry with me throughout changing times :)  

In slightly less seriousness, new band is being started...but we need a name.  Any suggestions?
