They Day of Glory Has Arrived–The Strongest Force in Our Universe is Not Overriding Power, but Love!

Image

The entire movement to acquire antiques was born out of sheer respect for things that lasted longer than fifteen minutes. We are part of an incredible paradox. On the one hand, we want self-sufficiency, independence, privacy. Each person, even each family member, wants and “needs” an Ultimate Driving Machine, so that one person never has to adjust to the schedule or the wants of another. The family home comes with a dishwasher, so that family members need not cooperate in washing the dishes. If not an absolute “must,” a separate room for each members of the family is always the goal, and these days many kids have their own bedrooms and a play room, and each parent usually has more than one room as well, the den is usually reserved for the father and the mother has an office. When we commute by train or bus, we bury our respective noses in our own newspapers or books or laptop or tablet so that we can avoid communicating with the person next to us. It is very clear that the utmost in privacy is none too private. Our slogan could well be that of Greta Garbo: “I vant to be alone.” We pursue privacy and self-sufficiency in almost every possible way. #RandolphHarris 1 of 25

Many of us abhor superficial communication—chitchat, long conversations on trivial topics, cocktail-party burbling, lengthy arguments over everything from politics to baseball. So, to avoid such “a waste of time,” we remove ourselves from situations in which such superficiality is the expected level of communication. We in the West seem to have made a fetish out of complete individual self-sufficiency, of not needing help, of being completely private except in a very few selected relationships. This way of living would have been completely impossible during the most of history, but modern technology makes this goal achievable. With my private room, private Ultimate Driving Machine, private office, private (and preferably unlisted) telephone, with food and clothing purchased in large impersonal stores, with my own stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, washer-dryer, I can be practically immune from intimate contact with any other person. What with social media and dating applications, and singles bars, even intimate moments can be satisfied without personal intimacy. The utmost in privacy of personal life can be—and often is—achieved. We have reached our goal. #RandolphHarris 2 of 25

Image

However, we pay a price. From our alienated young people come our criminals, capable of senseless violence. From our private middle years, we “progress” to be a very lonely “senior citizen” status. Both the young and the old are almost completely useless in our modern society, and are made keenly aware of that uselessness. They have no place. They are private, isolated—and hopeless. Our economy is based on spending billions to persuade people that happiness is buying things, and then insisting that the only way to have a viable economy is to make things for people to buy so they will have jobs and get enough money to buy things. We must realize that the pendulum has swung too far in the direction of separateness. Humanity has to rediscover that we prize deep intimacy, that it helps us grow, that it empowers us to act in our society. We are to be sad with one another, and we are to rejoice with one another. We have to be quite willing to put up with discomfort in order to be together. We have to relearn to enjoy nourishing one another. When we find our private selves lost in the larger endeavour of forming a community, we will discover that this gives us a deeper and more solid sense of self. #RandolphHarris 3 of 25

Perhaps the most dramatic and far-reaching future significance of our work is simply our way of being and acting as humans. To create a climate where power is shared, where individuals are empowered, where groups are dealt with as being trustworthy and competent to face problems—this is unheard of in ordinary life. Our schools, our government, our businesses and corporations are permeated with the view that neither the individual nor the group is trustworthy. There must be power over, power to control. The hierarchical system is inherent in our whole culture. Even in many of our religions, persons are regarded as basically sinful, and hence, in need of discipline and guidance. In the psychological sphere, psychoanalysis takes a similar view—that at the core, individuals are full of unconscious impulses which, if uncontrolled, would wreak havoc upon society. The paradigm of Western culture is that the essence of persons is dangerous; thus, they must be taught, guided, and controlled by those with superior authority. Yet out experience, and that of an increasing number of humanistic psychologists, has shown that another paradigm is far more effective and constructive for the individual and for society. #RandolphHarris 4 of 25

Image

 It is that, given a suitable psychological climate, humankind is trustworthy, creative, self-motivated, powerful, and constructive—capable of releasing undreamed-of potentialities. The first paradigm of controlling the evil in human nature has brought civilization to the brink of disaster. Can society come to see the effectiveness of the second paradigm? It appears to be the only hope for survival. Our goal as a nation and World is to create a harmonious unity out of citizens. Imagine reaching the point where people can truly hear and understand and respect one another, where humanness had a higher priority than power. The results could have the most profound significance. I do not mean all the problems will be resolved. Not all. However, even the most difficult tensions and demands will become more soluble in a human climate of understanding and mutual respect. If a group of individuals, no matter how antagonistic or hostile its members, are willing to gather in the same room together, we know the attitudes and skills that can move it in the direction of a communicative mutual respect, and eventually toward becoming a community. If we utilize the knowledge we have today, the impact on education in the future would be phenomenal. #RandolphHarris 5 of 25

Image

The knowledge we have today could make future education a climate of trust in which curiosity, the natural desire to learn, could be nourished and enhanced. It could free students, faculty, and administrators alike to engage in a participatory mode of decision-making about all aspects of learning. It could develop a sense of community in which the destructive competition of today would be replaced by cooperation, respect for others, and mutual helpfulness. It could be a place where students would come to prize themselves, would develop self-confidence and self-esteem. It could be a situation in which both students and faculty would increasingly discover that source of values in themselves, coming to an awareness that the good life is within, not dependent on outside sources. In such an educational community, students could find an excitement in intellectual and emotional discovery which would lead them to become lifelong learners. These are not “pie-in-the-sky” statements. These goals are realistic and achievable, but we have to stop doubting peace is a reality. Much like how recently President Donald J. Trump secured a historic deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates to advance peace and prosperity in the region. What does this signify for the future? #RandolphHarris 6 of 25

Image

In any new development, a subterranean current in the popular mind and feeling, which grows stronger and stronger until, with a seeming suddenness, it breaks forth into clearly articulated forms in various places and countries. This is why President Trump is advocating law and order. Law and order weeds out corruption and discrimination and makes it so people can live in peace and prosper. In this sense I believe there is, alongside the obviously destructive forces on our planet, a growing current that will lead to a new level of human awareness. There is the strong interest in holistic healing; the recognition of undeveloped psychic powers within each individual; the mysterious, unspoken communication that is so evident in our groups; a dimly sensed recognition that the strongest force in our Universe is not overriding power, but love. I know with certain that the problem is not that people cannot love. The problem is with their receptors for love. If one has dysfunction of one’s receptors of God’s love, one can lose one’s way and succumb to dangers, such as hopelessness, helplessness, and loneliness. When a person’s receptors for God’s love is dysfunctional, God’s influence in one’s life is minimized. The ability to sense Heavenly Father and His Son’s love and caring is lost. #RandolphHarris 7 of 25

Image

Without Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and Their influence in our lives, we have no shepherd. Without Them, there is no sail—meaning there is no power. Without Them, there is no anchor—meaning there is no stability, especially in times of storm. Without Them, there is nothing which to steer—meaning there is no direction. No power, no stability, and no direction are all consequences of dysfunctional receptors for Their love. Receptor dysfunction for God’s love does not happen all at one—but slowly and imperceptibly over time. An inability to sense God’s love can also stem from sin or not pressing forward on the covenant path. Such inability can also be due to physical or mental illness that may require professional help. When indicated, God expects us to seek professional help. The first step is to repent. Repentance is a joyful process. If you stole Leo’s lunch and keep stealing it, then repent and never do it again and ask God for forgiveness. Remember that God does not really care who you were and what you did. God cares who you are, what you are doing, and who you are becoming. When, or whether, this cluster of new ways of seeing human beings in relation to the Universe will emerge fully into the open, I cannot predict. I simply point to the fact that the harmonious sense of community that occurs in our workshops enhances all the separate springs of this flowing subterrane current. #RandolphHarris 8 of 25

Image

 To further highlight this illustration, the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica covers 74,000 square miles—the size of the US State of Florida or Great Britain—and it is particularly susceptible to climate and ocean changes. Over the past 30 years, the overall rate of ice loss from Thwaites and its neighbouring glaciers has increased more than 5-fold. It was recently discovered that deep seabed channels beneath Thwaites Glacier is the pathway for warm ocean water and causing the ice to melt faster. So, if we are creating peaceful subterranean of love, peace, law and order, we could dissolve hate before people realize what is happening, at much faster rate than people believed possible. Our workshop experiences, along with the many other manifestations of this current, mean to me that humankind may be moving into a far different type of consciousness than exists today. We all must wait upon the social will. If the time comes when our culture tires of the endless fleecing of our economy, looting, rioting, vandalisms, homicidal feuds, despairs of the use of force and war as a means of bringing peace, becomes discontent with the half-lives that its members are living—only then will our culture seriously look for alternatives. #RandolphHarris 9 of 25

Image

When people are ready to solve the ills of society, they will not find a void. They will discover that there are means for facilitating the resolutions of feuds. They will find that there are ways of building community without sacrificing the potential and creativity of the person. They will realize that there are ways, already tried out on a small scale, of enhancing learning, of moving toward new values, of raising consciousness to unexpected levels. They will find that there are ways of being that do not involve power over persons or groups. They will discover that harmonious community can be built on a basis of mutual respect and enhanced personal growth. That, to my mind, is our basic contribution as humanistic psychologist with a person-centered philosophy—we have created working models on a small scale which our culture can use when it is ready. Many of these small-scale models are seen in the suburbs in communities like Cresleigh Ranch and Plumas Ranch by Cresleigh Homes. “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in out time of need,” reports Hebrews 4.15-16. #RandolphHarris 10 of 25

Image

God’s power enables us to respond to the various circumstances and challenges hat constantly come to us. Perhaps the idea of appropriating the grace of God is a new thought to you, and you are not quite sure what I mean. The basic meaning of the word if “to take possession of,” and that is what we do when we appropriate God’s grace. We take possession of the divine strength He has made available to us in Christ. To use an analogy, we draw on an inexhaustible bank account, the account of God’s grace. Now there are times when the Holy Spirit works in a sovereign way in our lives, apart from any appropriating activity on our part, but more often God expects us to acts to appropriate His grace. To this end, God has provided four principal means of doing so: prayer, His word, submission to His providential workings in our lives, and the ministry of others. The first avenue of appropriating God’s grace is simply to ask for it in prayer. When we realize that we have reached the limits of our commitment, sometimes we may consider ceasing to ask God for guidance and begin to ask for the grace—that is, the spiritual ability—to say yes to what we think is His will. #RandolphHarris 11 of 25

Image

The throne of grace is a figurative expression for God seated on His throne as the God of all grace. It is obviously not the throne itself but God on the throne who will give us His grace in time of need. In Revelation 6.16-17, God is portrayed sitting on His throne as the God of wrath and judgment. The people who see Him in that setting will call for mountains and rocks to fall on them to hide from His face and His wrath. The prophet Isaiah saw God seated on His throne as the God of infinite majesty and holiness. Isaiah was awestruck and cried out, “Woe to me! I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I love among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty” (6.5). However, in Hebrew 4.16, we see, not a throne of wrath, nor even a throne of infinite majesty and holiness, but a throne of grace. We are encouraged to come to this throne, not with terror because of His wrath, nor with awed fear because of His holiness, but with confidence because of His grace. God is indeed the infinitely holy God, high and exalted as Isaiah saw Him, and He will one day manifest Himself as the God of wrath to those who have spurned Him. However to us who are His children, He is the God of grace seated on His throne of grace. #RandolphHarris 12 of 25

Image

We need to remember that it was God Himself who presented Jesus as the atonement for our sins, and the One who satisfied the justice of God and by that satisfaction turned aside God’s wrath from us. And because of Jesus’ atoning sacrifice, God’s throne is no longer a throne of judgment and wrath for us but it is now a throne of grace. God, whom Paul described as living in “unapproachable light” (1 Timothy 6.16), now encourages us to enter “the Most Holy Place,” His very throne room, and “draw near to God.” (Hebrews 10.19-22). This invitation is a striking contrast to the restrictions that existed under the Mosaic dispensation of the Old Testament. Under that system, only the high priest was allowed to enter the most holy place of the Temple, and then only once a year and never without the blood of the atonement (Hebrews 9.7). Now all believers may enter the Most Holy Place in Heaven, at all times, through the blood of Jesus, which was shed once for all (Hebrews 10.19). Not only may we enter, we are encouraged to enter, to come into the very presence of God, and to come with confidence because we come by the blood of Jesus. When we come to God’s throne, we need to remember He is indeed the God of all grace. He is the landowner who graciously gave a full day’s pay to the workers who had worked only one hour in the vineyard. #RandolphHarris 13 of 25

Image

God is the God who said of the sinful nation of Israel even while they were in captivity, “I will rejoice in doing them good,” reports Jeremiah 32.41. He is the God who remained faithful to Peter through all his failures and sins and made him into a mighty apostle. He is the God who, over and over again, has promised to never lead us, nor forsake us (id est Deuteronomy 31.6,8; Psalm 94.14; Isaiah 42.16; Hebrews 13.5). He is the God who “longs to be gracious to you,” reports Isaiah 30.18, and He is the God who is for you, not against you (Romans 8.31). All this, and more, is summed up in that one statement, the God of all grace. As we approach the throne of grace, we find that Jesus, our Great High Priest, has gone before us and is, even as we come, already interceding for us. “But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost the come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them,” reports Hebrews 7.24-25.  Jesus is described by the writer of Hebrews as being able to sympathize with out weakness. The double negative, “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weakness” (4.15), is equivalent to a very strong absolute assertion: “We do have a high priest who can sympathize with us. #RandolphHarris 14 of 25

Image

The truth is, He not only can be touched [with our weaknesses], but cannot but be touched. The assertion is not, It is possible that He may sympathize; but, It is impossible that He should not. Jesus can sympathize with our weakness because He has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. The word translated as sympathize means far more than the popular meaning, to feel sorry for. It is the capacity for sharing or understanding the feelings of another person. This feeling can be felt only by a person who has experienced the same or similar trials and who, consequently, understands what the other person is going through and has a desire to relieve the other’s distress. It is pity; but it is something more than pity: it is the pity which a human of kind affections feels towards those who are suffering what he himself has suffered. The Son of God, had He never become incarnate, might have pitied, but He could not have sympathized with His people. To render Him capable of sympathy, it was necessary that He should become a man that He might be susceptible of suffering, and that He should actually be a sufferer that He might be susceptible of sympathy. I suspect, however, that many of us, especially when we are experiencing physical or emotional pain, question whether or not Jesus suffered in the same way we are suffering. #RandolphHarris 15 of 25

Image

After all, Jesus never experienced prolonged unemployment, Jesus never had to deal with lawmakers who refuse to help the people they serve, was not faced with the risk of contracting COVID-19, never had a child die in an plane crash, or endured the debilitating effects of a physical disability, or watched a spouse die slowly and painfully from cancer. The biblical text does not assert that Jesus suffered in all these ways. It says, “We have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin” (4.15). That is, Jesus was tempted, or tried, in all the various ways human nature is afflicted. He was born into poverty and experienced rejection from His own family, reproach by the leaders of His day, desertion by His friends, and excruciating physical pain on the cross. And the absence in Scripture of any reference to Joseph or Luke 2 leads to a reasonable inference that Jesus lost his Legal, Earthy father before He was thirty. Above all, He suffered the ultimate trial, which you and I will never have to experience: being forsaken by His Heavenly Father (Mathew 27.46). Sometimes you and I feel forsaken in the midst of trial (David felt that way in Psalm 13.1), and that sense of divine abandonment is the hardest part of the trial. However, Jesus actually was forsaken by God and knew it. He was “a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief,” reports Isaiah 53.3. #RandolphHarris 16 of 25

Image

So Jesus does fully understand and sympathize with us in our times of trials. We can be sure, whatever the nature of our hurts, they are not new to Him. Because Jesus can enter into our hurts and does sympathize with us, we can approach God’s throne with confidence, without being ashamed to lay our weakness before Him. He understands and He cares. We are encouraged to come to the throne of grace where we have a sympathetic High Priest already interceding for us, “so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need,” reports Hebrew 4.16. “And it came to pass that as many would not hearken to the words of Helaman and his brethren were gathered together against their brethren. And now behold, they were exceedingly wroth, insomuch that they were determined to slay them. Now the leader of those who were worth against their brethren was a large and a strong man; and his name was Amalickiah. And Amalickiah was desirous to be a king; and those people who were wroth were also desirous that he should be their king; and they were the greater part of them the lower judges of the land, and they were seeking for power. And they had been led by the flatteries of Amalickiah, that is they would support him and establish him to be their king that he would make them rulers over the people. #RandolphHarris 17 of 25

Image

“Thus they were led away by Amalickiah to dissension, notwithstanding the preaching of Helaman and his brethren, yea, notwithstanding their exceedingly great care over the church, for they were high priests over the church. And there were many in the church who believed in the flattering words of Amalickiah, therefore they dissented eve from the church; and thus were the affairs of the people of Nephi exceedingly precarious and dangerous, notwithstanding their great victory which they had over the Lamanites, and their great rejoicing which they had had because of their deliverance by the hand of the Lord. Thus we see how quick the children of humans do forget the Lord their God, yea, how quick to do iniquity, and to be led away by the evil one. Yea, and we also see the great wickedness one very wicked man can cause to take place among the children of humans. Yea, we see that Amalickiah, because he was a man of cunning device and a man of many flattering words, that he led away the hearts of many people to do wickedly; yea, and to seek to destroy the church of God, and to destroy the foundation of liberty which God had granted unto them, or which blessing God had sent upon the face of the land for the righteous’ sake. #RandolphHarris 18 of 25

Image

“And now it came to pass that when Moroni, who was chief commander of the armies of the Nephites, had heard of these dissensions, he was angry with Amalickiah. And it came to pass the he rent his coast; and he took a piece thereof, and wrote upon it—In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children—and he fastened it upon the end of a pole. And he fastened on his headplate, and his breastplate, and his shields, and girded on his armour, about hi loins; and he took the pole, which had on the end thereof his rent coast, (and he called it the title of liberty) and he bowed himself to the Earth, and he prayed mightily unto his God for the blessings of liberty to rest upon his brethren, so long as there should a band of Christians remain to possess the land—for thus were all the true believers of Christ, who belonged to the church of God, called by those who did not belong to the church. And those who did belong to the church were faithful; yea, all those who were true believers in Christ took upon them, gladly, the name of Christ, or Christians as they were called, because of their belief in Christ who should come. And therefore, at this time, Moroni prayed that the cause of the Christians, and the freedom of the land might be favoured. #RandolphHarris 19 of 25

Image

“And it came to pass that when he had poured out his soul to God, he named all the land which was south of the land of Desolation, yea, and in fine, all the land, both on the north and on the south—A chosen land, and the land of liberty. And he said: Surely God shall not suffer that we, who are despised because we take upon us the name of Christ, shall be trodden down and destroyed, until we bring it upon us by our own transgressions. And when Moroni had said these words, he went forth among the people, waving the rent part of his garment in the air, that all might see the writing which he had written upon the rent part, and crying with a loud voice, saying: Behold, whosoever will maintain this title upon the land, let them come forth in the strength of the Lord, and enter into a covenant that they will maintain their rights, and their religion, that the Lord God may bless them. And it came to pass that when Moroni had proclaimed these words, behold, the people came running together with their armour girded about their loins, rendering their garments in token, or as a covenant, that they would not forsake the Lord their God; or, in other words, if they should transgress the commandments of God, or fall into transgression, and be ashamed to take upon them the name of Christ, the Lord should rend them even as they have rent their garments. #RandolphHarris 20 of 25

Image

“Now this was the covenant which they made, and they cast their  garments at the feet of Moroni, saying: We covenant with our God, that we shall be destroyed, even as our brethren in the land northward, if we shall fall into transgression; yea, he may cast us at the feet of our enemies, even as we have cast our garments at thy feet to be trodden under foot, if we shall fall into transgression. Moroni said unto them: Behold, we are a remnant of the seed of Jacob; yea, we are a remnant of the seed of Joseph, whose coast was rent by his brethren into many pieces; yea, and now behold, let us remember to keep the commandments of God, or garments shall be rent by our brethren, and we be cast into prison, or be sold, or be slain. Yea, let us preserve our liberty as a remnant of Joseph; yea, let us remember the words of Jacob, before his death, for behold, he saw that part of the remnant of the coat of Joseph was preserved and had not decayed. And he said—Even as this remnant of garment of my son hath been preserved, so shall a remnant of the seed of my son be preserved by the hand of God, and be taken unto himself, while the remainder of the seed of Joseph shall perish, even as the remnant of this garment. Now behold, this giveth my soul sorrow; nevertheless, my soul hath joy in my son, because of that part of his seed which shall be taken unto God. #RandolphHarris 21 of 25

Image

“Now behold, this was the language of Jacob. And now who knoweth but what the remnant of the seed of Joseph, which shall perish as his garment, are those who have dissented from us? Yea, and even it shall be ourselves if we do not stand fast in the faith of Christ. And now it came to pass that when Moroni has said these words he went forth, and also sent forth in all parts of the land where there were dissensions, and gathered together all the people who were desirous to maintain their liberty, to stand against Amalickiah and those who had dissented, who were called Amalickiahites. And it came to pass that when Amalickiah saw that the people of Moroni were more numerous than the Amalickiahites—and he also saw that his people were doubtful concerning the justice of the cause in which they had undertaken—therefore, fearing that he should not gain the point, he took those of his people who would and departed into the land of Nephi. Now Moroni thought it was not expedient that the Lamanites should have any more strength; therefore he thought to cut off the people of Amalickiah, or to take them and bring them back, and put Amalickiah to death; yea, for he knew that he would stir up the Lamanites to anger against them, and cause them to come to battle against them; and this he knew that Amalickiah would do that he might obtain his purpose. #RandolphHarris 22 of 25

Image

“Therefore Moroni thought it was expedient that he should take his armies, who has gathered themselves together, and armed themselves, and entered into a covenant to keep the peace—and it came t pass that he took his army and marched out with his tens into the wilderness, to cut off the course of Amalickiah in the wilderness. And it came to pass that he did according to his desires, and marched forth into the wilderness, and headed the armies of Amalickiah. And it came to pass that Amalickiah fled with a small number of his men, and the remainder were delivered up to the hands of Moroni and were taken back into the land of Zarahemla. Now, Moroni being a man who was appointed by the chief judges and the voice of the people, therefore he had power according to his will with the armies of the Nephities, to establish and to exercise authority over them. And it came to pass that whomsoever of the Amalickiahites that would not enter into a covenant to support the cause of freedom, that they might maintain a free government, he caused to be put to death; and there were but few who denied the covenant of freedom. And it came to pass also, that he caused the title of liberty to be hoisted upon every tower which was in all the land, which was possessed by the Nephites; and thus Moroni planted the standard of liberty among the Nephites. #RandolphHarris 23 of 25

Image

“And the began to have peace again in the land; and thus they did maintain peace in the land until nearly the end of the nineteenth years of reign of the judges. And Helaman and the high priests did also maintain order in the church; yea, even for he space of four years did they have much peace and rejoicing in the church. And it came to pass that there were many who died, firmly believing that their souls were redeemed by the Lord Jesus Christ; thus they went out of the World rejoicing. And there were some who died with fevers, which at some seasons of the year were very frequent in the land—but not so much with fevers, because of the excellent qualities of the many plants and roots which God had prepared to remove the causes of diseases, to which humans were subject by the nature of the climate—but there were many who died with old age; and those who died in the faith of Christ are happy in him, as we must needs suppose,” reports Alma 46.1-41. How shall I find words that can capture the truth? I am far too bold even to try. For how many before me have dared this, to praise you, searching themselves for new ways of speaking? If I could find only one phrase that expressed a Sunset, or a word for birds’ wings, or a sound for clouds, I would be content. #RandolphHarris 24 of 25

However, so many are your wonders and so inadequate my small attempts that I can only hope to have reflected some of what you are. Or perhaps I serve you best when I fall silent in your presence, God. What is done in the night, you see it. What is done in the day, you see it. Who can hide from you, who are found in all things? Where would we hide from you, who are fund in all things? Why would we hide from you, whose love pours out on all things? We thankfully acknowledge that Thou art the Lord our God and God of our fathers, the God of all that lives, our Creator and Creator of the Universe. We offer blessings and thanksgiving to Thy great and holy name because Thou hast kept us in life and sustained us; so mayest Thou continue to keep us in life and sustain us. O gather our exiles into the courts of Thy holy sanctuary to observe Thy statutes, to do Thy will, and to serve Thee with a perfect heart. We give thanks unto Thee. Blessed be God to whom we are every grateful. O Lord, our God, please be gracious unto Thy people and accept their prayer. Please restore the worship to Thy sanctuary and receive in love the supplications of your children; and may the worship of Thy people be ever acceptable unto Thee. O may our eyes witness Thy return to Zion. Blessed art Thou, O Lord, who restorest Thy divine present unto the land. #RandolphHarris 25 of 25
