Corps Camp

Morning prayers at camp this morning - we had just finished thanking God for our camp fellowship and singing a chorus before we moved on to pray for our corps members back in Morwell. We were singing "Be still for the presence of the Lord" - we got to the second verse - the wind rose and the little chapel creaked & groaned under the strain. So here we are singing:
"Be still for the power of the Lord,
Is moving in this place,
He comes to cleanse and heal,
To minister His grace
No work too hard for Him
In faith, receive from Him,
Be still, for the power of the Lord
Is moving in this place."
God had placed "Robbie" on my heart - normally he would have been at camp with us, but he is struggling - he has since the end of November been removed from society for his own safety!
As we were singing the first verse I just wanted God to return him to his former self - but as we sang the second verse "NO WORK TOO HARD FOR HIM" - my heart broke - God can do much better than return him to his former self - God can transform him into the person He created him to be.
At that point I wanted the very best God has for "Robbie" - "Life in all it's fullness" [John 10:10]
Lord, please break into "Robbie's" life!!
