Dear Lord; Happy Friday Father!
Well Father, it’s certainly been a roller-coaster of a week. You’ve been extremely “chatty” with me as of late and while I don’t completely understand these urgings You’re placing on my heart yet, I’m starting to put some of the pieces together. Either way Lord, I am paying attention. 🙂
Today Father, I’d like to lift a dear friend of mine up in prayer. He’s going through a very rough time at the moment, and he’s hurting deeply inside. He’s been an incredible support and Blessing both to myself and my business over the years, and has always encouraged me on my journey to Your Service. Please bring Your Healing Presence to his heart Father, and grant him the comfort he needs to be strong during this time of trial.
To close out the week Lord, I’d like to once again share some music that uplifts and inspires me. One of my favorite Christian Artists for many years has been Mark Schultz. He initially grabbed my attention almost ten years ago with “He’s My Son”, which I first heard while Jonathan was going through chemotherapy. Recently however, he seems to be coming out with one amazing new song after another. One of those that truly makes my heart swell is “Love Has Come” :
He’s a truly talented artist Father, and I can feel Your Love each time I hear this song. The chorus says it all :
“Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess
That God is love and love has come for us all
Every heart set free, every one will see
That God is love and love has come for us all”
Amen.

Hi, I’m Phil Malmstrom, a.k.a. Phather Phil. I’m self-employed, father of two wonderful young men, an ordained minister who delights in spreading Jesus’ Message of Hope and Love, a science-fiction junkie, an aspiring photographer and above all that one of God’s Children who rejoices in His Blessings each day. 
This is one of my favorites. (I think I always say that 🙂 )I love watching Mark and the choir worship. Great song and video. It is very hard to hear this song and not want to put your hands up and praise! God is love! Love has come for us all! Praise God!
I agree Jenifer! I just love the look on Mark’s face with this one… You can really see that he feels it!
Have a Blessed Weekend!
Great song! I’m so glad that Love has come for us all.
Amen Lisa!
Have a Blessed Weekend!
What an inspired and inspiring song! I’d never heard “Love has Come” until now… but you know a song is great when you start singing along and praising almost immediately! It made my heart swell too.
May God bring His Healing Presence to your friend.
Mark has a lot of great music Debra. Lots of his videos are on GodTube if you’d like to hear more! 🙂
Thank you for your prayers, and have a Blessed Weekend!
Late in reading this as I was gone most of the weekend but even now your words with God blesses me Love how He is chatty with you now and that you send me a little smily face. Somehow I think God has a smiley face next to your name too!
I love Mark Shultz’ praise and worship hymn songs and music and this is definitely one of our favorites. In fact, my granddaughter and I were blessed to see him sing live last year – what a blessing. Thank you for bringing back such sweet family memories.
Speaking of God’s love, today there’s a Facebook event to encourage all of us everywhere to share the message of God’s love by posting John 3:16 on Facebook statuses everywhere 🙂 You can find out more about it at facebook for SandwichINK or here’s the direct link – but not sure the post will allow it – http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=148823668500272&index=1
Have a blessed day.
Welcome Kaye, and thank you for stopping by!
I first heard Mark’s music when I was driving back from the local children’s hospital one night while my son was there going through chemo. “He’s my Son” came on the radio, and I had to pull over and cry. He’s an extremely talented man, and I enjoy his music a great deal.
Thank you for the note on FB… I’ll check it out!
Have a Blessed Day!
