God The Master Artist

God the Master Artist
Who makes us like Himself
Hands us our own paint brush
And a canvas from His shelf

Then selects for each a palette
With the colors He does choose
Not just the brilliant ones we like
But also darker hues

And as each day we start to paint
Our Christ and Lord draws near
To guide our strokes with His own hand
Until His face appears!

My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you.
Galatians 4:19 NKJV

Eyes

/ pastorpete51 / 4 Comments

To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. 1 Timothy 1:17 ESV

Eyes were made to see
Since the moment of creation
Watching dust specks in the sun
Spinning wildly with elation

Each sunrise with its colors
The wave tops as they break
And the smiles on lips of mothers
And the raindrops on the lake

He gave them light and focus
And His word to show them how
Our great unseen Creator
Is walking with us now

The Garden Gate

/ pastorpete51 / 2 Comments 

And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 
Genesis 3:8 Amp

I wonder if they remembered 
Once the garden gate swung closed 
The times they had walked with Father there 
While His light served as their clothes 

When only echoes still remained 
Of the voice their souls once thrilled 
In the silence did they long to hear 
Words of the Fathers will? 

Were they expecting soon the promised day 
And a birth on the blackest of nights 
Of a Child and a Lamb with God’s message for man 
In deep darkness The Word shining bright 

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:3 ESV
