In the "New Covenant" made by our Creator God with humanity, as reported in Jeremiah 31:31-34, every human being can know God from within - because the Holy Spirit is revealing our Creator to all who are willing to know the Lord and trust in Him. We can still help each other along the way; so may you be pleased to find here a variety of helps to the life of faith in God through Jesus Christ. G.S.

The Beautiful Hands of a Deacon
We need them in times of hardship,
We give
thanks when they defend from our foes;
We feel
their warm clasp of true friendship,
They
encourage us when tasting life's woes.
At the
altar Sunday we behold them,
Humbly
serving our King on his throne;
Drawing
deeply from his love and wisdom--
Telling
the world his Good News all alone.
And when
we are tempted and wander,
To
pathways of shame and of sin,
It's the
hand of a deacon that calls us--
Once again
to repent and come in:
And find
our Lord’s priest for confession,
Where the Lord awaits to forgive us,
And bids us come with joy in procession;
To taste of his Word and Communion.
God bless them and keep them all holy,
For his
love their hands in service express;
When can a
poor sinner do better,
Than to
ask Him to guide thee and bless?
When the
hour of trial comes upon us,
May God’s
courage and strength be our beacon,
By seeing
raised in blessing over us --
The
beautiful hands of a deacon.
