"For everything was created by Him, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— all things have been created through Him and for Him."- Colossians 1:16
On this first Monday of fall, it was a beautiful day. I didn't get to enjoy it much, because I had clinical, but the sky was blue and the grass is still kind of green. The sun was bright and the wind was just barely blowing.
Creation sings His glory. Everything has a unique song that it sings. Why should we be any different? He created us, for Him... to be in companionship with Him, to bring Him glory through our actions. Through our love. Our song to sing is one of love, for Him, for others. We were created as God's masterpiece. We are marvelous, even in our mess, because we are fearfully and wonderfully made. No matter where you are, God made you just for this moment. He's working on us, continually. And no matter what we think, even when it appears that He's nowhere around, He's in control. He created all authority, all power, and all dominions... even those who appear to be in chaos. Thank You, Lord, for Your Sovereignity. We desperately need it.
"We are marvelous, even in our mess" ---Amen! All because of WHO made us :-) Thanks for the reminder! Sometimes I want too much to be marvelous in my own striving after perfection or get my life perfectly and totally in order. But, of course I'll always be a mess on my own!
