Scripture

James 1:17 (NRSVUE)

Every generous act of giving,

with every perfect gift,

is from above,

coming down from the Father of lights.




Refrain

It's all a gift.




Quote

Julian of Norwich, from Revelations of Divine Love

"And in this he showed me a little thing,

the quantity of a hazelnut,

lying in the palm of my hand, as it seemed.

And it was as round as a ball.

I looked upon it with the eye of my understanding

and thought, 'What may this be?'

And it was answered generally thus:

'It is all that is made.'

I marveled how it might last,

for I thought it might suddenly have fallen to nothing for littleness.

And I was answered in my understanding:

It lasts and ever shall, for God loves it.

And so have all things their beginning

by the love of God."
