Dawn

Have you ever watched the dawn break over a ridge or mountain?  Suddenly the sky goes from the inky blackness of twilight to bursting with color as the sky is painted bright hues of orange and red from a heavenly palette.  We too can experience a new dawn in our lives, as God’s hand paints a new life of promise from the dark failures of the past on the canvass of our lives.  It is a work of art continually in progress as God not only forgives us, but also continues to transform our lives with the skill of a master artist painting our lives with the colors or Christ’s glorious love and mercy!  Is He your artist in residence?
 
(scripture of the week)
because of the tender mercy of our God,
  like a new dawn breaking eternal from heaven will He come
to shine on those living in darkness
  and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace (Luke 1.78,79)
 
(prayer of the week)
O Divine Creator, who fashioned the heavens and the seas and all the worlds that stretch to every corner of the universe, renew my life and paint anew the colors of your grace and love in my life.  Help me to be open to your Spirit and empower me to share your love with others, through your power and to your glory, amen.
 
Blessings in Christ –Pastor TJ
