an empty sound transformed into a love song

1 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.2 If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing.3 If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.

the big picture.

sometimes
i get so utterly caught up in things
that i forget about the big picture

how silly is that, right?
how can you not see the BIG picture staring you back right in the face?

on a day to day basis, though
when you get slapped around with bad news from every possible direction.
.from work
.to your mother's on.going battle with cancer.
.and this relationship to that.. .

it becomes overwhelming.
some of it is silly.
some of it's life changing.

the only thing that give me any assurance when i open my eyes in the morning is God.
to some it may seem naive.
it may seem like blind faith.
but He makes me whole.
amidst all of the silly and life changing battles.

just this one.

if i could praise GOD with just one worship song,
only one.
it would be this one.
i've posted it before.
maybe even
twice
but
this
makes me feel not so alone.
and know without a doubt _that just like He has promised, He is ALWAYS with me.
and will be faithful in guiding me.

He answered.

God's Handprints


today i laughed as i saw this scene:

a little girl with a cello strapped to her back,
sneaking under yellow caution tape to scribble her name in the wet cement that lay inches beyond her grasp. Almost falling in, i saw her snag at least one finger tip in the wet tablet.

smiling, i drove on.
I've always wanted to do that.
But how many times has that opportunity presented itself?
wet cement, calling out to you.. .
there all by itself, with no one watching??
rarely, i'm thinkin.

Minutes later, now blocks away, this idea bounced around in my mind.
.. .we all desire to create an imprint on the world,
: to influence.
:: to feel appreciated for our very existence.
daily this goes on. anywhere attention is found, people flock. whether it is positive or negative.

we, as christians, though are called to leave an imprint on the world for Christ. not for ourselves. we are simply_ but a mist here today then gone tomorrow. We must act as light:: and as Philippians 2:15 reminds us_ shine like stars in the universe as we hold out the Word of Life.
Our imprint should be that of the Cross, of Jesus' sacrifice. Announcing to any passersby that
:: : in Christ new life is found.
