Created

"A thing constructed can only be loved after it is constructed,
but a thing created is loved before it exists." --G.K. Chesterton
For we are God's handiwork,
created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.
~ Ephesians 2:10

Clearing Up The Past

We have all made mistakes. We have all done things that we wish we had not done. We have all missed opportunities and blown more of them than we care to admit.

But the universe begins a new cycle whenever we are ready. God is willing to start again when we are. In His eyes, we are like newborn children, and at any given moment we can be reborn. As we atone for our errors, we are released from their effects.

See light, and your life will reflect it. Deny the light, and in your blindness you will create chaos. When you choose to open your eyes again, the chaos shall be no more.

(exerpted from Illuminata, A Return to Prayer by Marianne Williamson)

"Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works
and glorify your Father in heaven."
~ Matthew 5:16 NKJV

God fills each day with Sunshine!

God has made His light shine upon us. ~ Psalm 118:27




Today, give a stranger one of your smiles.
It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.
