In Genesis, we read of the Garden of Eden where Adam and Eve lived and walked with God. After their rebellion, they were expelled from the Garden. God didn't leave humanity without the beauty of creation to draw us to Him. Flowers remind us of God's continued love and promise.

Jesus invited confused, lost unbelievers to follow Him. In His light, we can see stumbling blocks & sin, allowing Him to remove such darkness from our lives as He shines His light into our hearts. Christ’s light brings us God’s presence, protection, and guidance.

When God helps us see danger ahead, it's common sense to take action to address the danger. We wisely change course. In Scripture, God shows us the path to follow and warns of trouble. Instead of barreling ahead, heading into danger, may we heed His wisdom and change course.

Despite what's happening to us and around us, our loving Father is continuing our inner renewal every day. His Presence with us is sure. Through the gift of prayer, He's only a breath away. And His promises to strengthen us and give us hope and joy remain true.

“For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that CHRIST (JESUS) died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that HE was buried, and that HE rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,” 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

Scripture helps us to see that all are welcome in the family of God. All enter the same way --- through belief in Jesus' death for cleansing and forgiveness. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile --- the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on Him.

Have a Good Saturday!

Despised by most of the religious & government leaders, Jesus was crucified ... He did not fulfill their expectations. His value for us, however, is more precious than silver or gold. We have the assurance that whoever chooses to trust Jesus will never be ashamed of their choice.
