God answer you on the day you crash, The name God-of-Jacob put you out of harm’s reach,
Send reinforcements from Holy Hill,
Dispatch from Zion fresh supplies,
Exclaim over your offerings,
Celebrate your sacrifices,
Give you what your heart desires,
Accomplish your plans.
When you win, we plan to raise the roof
and lead the parade with our banners.
May all your wishes come true!
That clinches it—help’s coming,
an answer’s on the way,
everything’s going to work out.
See those people polishing their chariots,
and those others grooming their horses?
But we’re making garlands for God our God.
The chariots will rust,
those horses pull up lame—
and we’ll be on our feet, standing tall.
Make the king a winner, God;
the day we call, give us your answer.
Psalm 20, The MessageMay we remember this day not as a day to reclaim revenge or to bolster hate, but as a day when the hate of those who call us enemies brought out in us the best of love and grace.
And that while the threat of terrorism still looms large before us every day around the world, we have to remember that what they fear is not the power and prosperity of the Western world, rather its generosity, its freedom, its peace.
Remember...
Peace ><>

It becomes hard sometimes to give grace to the what we call enemies when they open fire on tourists and embassies and shout God is Great.
So true, then again, while Jesus was being crucified he did say, "
Father forgive them."
True, and only God is the one person that can forgive even though we know that we must forgive also even when it is hard because we must forgive in order for God to forgive us. Does that make sense.
