" At first I prayed for light: Could I but see the way,
How gladly, swiftly would I walk to everlasting day!
And next I prayed for strength: That I might tread the road
With firm, unfaltering feet, and win the heaven's serene abode.
And then I asked for faith: Could I but trust my God,
I'd live infolded in His peace, Though foes were all abroad.
But now I pray for love: Deep love to God and man;
A living love that will not fail, However dark His plan.
And light and strength and faith; Are opening everywhere!
God waited patiently until I prayed the larger prayer.

God is good! Thanks for posting that, rather thought provoking.
Powerful! Thanks for sharing. "And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love." 1 Cor. 13:13.
This is hymn #488 I believe. Anyways, praise God for His love and He gives it to us so we can love. Thanks for reminding me of 1Cor. Staci.
Have a great Sabbath!
