Perspective

Happy Sunday!

Enjoying a wonderful vacation with my sister, Jacque in San Franscicso and Napa Valley.  Praying that you are having a wonderful weekend as well.

Thank God for technology.  I was able to be blessed by Rev. Jeffrey Johnson II, from Eastern Star Church in Indianapolis, Indiana. He preached for the Youth Service at Bates Memorial Baptist Church, in Louisville, Kentucky today.  His message was entitled, "I Ain't Religious, I'm in a Relationship" and he used Matthew 12:1-14 as his reference scriptures.

Quick point to take away, "When you have the correct perspective of God's Word, you will have the correct perspective of God's world!"  We have discussed this time and time again.  Get to know the Word and you will know God and his will.  Loving God is not about religiously doing this or that, it's about loving God so much you want to build that relationship and everything you do shows his love to the world.

Also, I owe Otis Redding an apology.  I always heard the song, "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay", and thought what a lazy song.  Why didn't he get up and do something.  Well seeing the bay after the tide goes out, I realized there is nothing to do.  Nothing but be amazed at the awesomeness of God.  The Word says the earth declares that there is a God.  Creation proclaims daily that this was no accident.  You are not an accident, no matter what your parents may have told you.  God knows you and has great plans for you.

Love and prayers, Cynthia
