How countless are Your works, Lord! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your creation. Psalm 104:24
I pull in my driveway and I can see the dogwood trees blooming on either side of me. What a precious gift!
I walk up the walkway and I am surrounded by purple irises and bright pink azaleas, and blooming thrift. What a precious gift!
I sat in my car for a few minutes yesterday to watch the tiniest, little finch playing in my yard. He's so good to me!
I took a deep breath and thought to myself, "how amazing He made today."
We had drama practice yesterday. We are practicing for the play, "Christ - the gift of the age." I sang on the praise team with tears in my eyes as I watched these people TAKE ON the disciples, Mary, Jesus, Pilate. They weren't "playing," they took it full on. Wow! What a PRECIOUS GIFT - His blood poured out for me. My eyes are full of tears now. I am so grateful.
How wonderful is He to you? Bro. Daryl asked yesterday, "What is your response to Him?" That's not just the question for unbelievers, it's for believers too. What is my response to what he did for me? What was my response yesterday? What will my response be tomorrow? What is my response at work? Christ - the gift of the age... As good as my best day is, there was no greater day than the day he bore my guilt, and carried my cross. Celebrate the empty tomb this week!
Christ, my gift,
