Awesome

How absolutely awesome is the love of God.  The psalmist reminds us that God's love is even more magnificent than the beauty and majesty of creation that God designed and brought into being.  God lights the night sky with stars from distant galaxies, and designed the lush rainforest teaming with life.  The same One who sculpted the masterpieces of the canyons and paints each sunset; the same One who limns the mountains with the first light of dawn and intricately designed each living creature, loves you!  As you face the storms of life, remember that God loves you and He will provide protection and power. Trust God.  God loves you!
 
 (verse of the week) 
Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens,
  Your faithfulness reaches to the sky.
Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains,
  Your justice like the ocean deep.
O Lord, you preserve both people and animals,
How priceless is Your unfailing love.
Both high and low among people
  find refuge in the shelter of Your wings.  (Psalm 36.5-7)
 
(Prayer of the week)
Almighty and Loving God, thank you for the many blessings with which you have touched my life.  Thank you for the beauty of creation, and the depth of your love.   Give me strength to face the challenges and adversity of life.  Give me faith to trust you in all I do. Fill me with your love, and may others see your love in my life in all I do, and give you thanks.   Amen.
 
Open your heart to God’s awesome love!—Pastor TJ

The challenge is to be a light, not a judge; to be a model, not a critic –Stephen R. Cove
