Create again!

God speaks when we worship Him. I have been pondering a thought I read by C S Lewis "It is in the process of being worshipped that God communicates His presence to men." It has been so beautiful the past few days around here. Cool breeze, Sunny and blue skies. I love sitting on the hill beside our house listening to natures opus. It is breathtaking to watch the setting sun cast a fiery orange nuance of light over the corn field below just before it dips down behind the rustic red tobacco barn across on the other hill. Autumn is beginning its opening act speckling the green forest with red, brown and yellow. God is the painter, the Designer, the Architect, the Composer, the Directer and Producer. He's the Power Source and the Lighting Tech. He is the Artist!

My life is your canvas, Lord. Create again in me!

Create Again! Aaron Shust
Separated from night
You spoke and then there was light
They point to You
Divided water from land
Bowing to Your command
They point to You
The sun that’s blazing at noon
And every phase of the moon
They point to You.
A baby’s cry and the way
A sunset closes the day
They point to You.

For You’re the only One worth praising
More radiant than earth and sky
And everyday that I survey Your creation
I see why I see why

God of everything I see,
Come create again in me
You were yesterday
and You will always be
So take each breath that I breathe
And be the life that I bleed
Create again in me

The storm that’s raging at sea
The little child on her knees
They point to You
Your grace that’s poured out on me
The sacrifice on a tree
They point to You
Your Word vaults across the sky
From sunrise to sunset
Melting the ice, scorching the desert
Warm our hearts to faith

WHO JESUS CAME FOR

WHO JESUS CAME FOR
By Rick Warren

In my study of Gospels, I made a list of the people Jesus came for:

Jesus came The chewed up, crossed off, crying out
The dropped out, edged out, fizzled out, and freaked out
The have nots, the held back, hung over, and knocked around

He came for the left out, the loaded down, and looked over,
The locked up, led astray, laid off, and let down
The messed up and the mixed up

He came for the passed over, the picked on, put down, pinned down,
and pushed around

The ripped off, the run down & the run over

Jesus came for people who are screwed up and the shrugged off,
The shut in and shut out
The smashed up, the stacked against, and strung out

Our Savior came for the torn up, thrown away, and the turned off

Those who used up and walked over,
The washed out, the worn out, the wiped out, and the written off

He came for you. And me.
