6/20/14- Halverson Benedction

You go nowhere by accident.
Wherever you go, God is sending you there.
Wherever you are, God has put you there.
He has a purpose in your being there.
Christ, who indwells in you, has something He wants to do through you,
wherever you are.
Believe this, and go in His grace, and love, and power. Amen! 

This is the benediction of Richard Halverson (1916-1995) who was a PCUSA pastor and chaplain to the U.S. Senate.   I like it alot- and rediscovered it at General Assembly.  It reminds us  we have a purpose, and that God calls us  to follow Christ wherever we are.  It is a benediction in that it commissions us to go with God's call and blessing.   I have discovered brilliant minds sitll in the PCUSA  like Rev. Halverson's. 
Prayer: Lord, may your blessing about to me, and may I use your blessing to bless your name- reflecting your glory, love, and blessing.
