GOD'S WORK DISPLAYED

On Saturday, June 28, 2008 I was at the First Annual Green Family Reunion. Almost everyone was there. The amazing thing to see was not what we had made of ourselves, but what God had made of us. He has taken our mistakes and
"provided" for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor. Isaiah 61:3

When asked why a man was born blind, Jesus said
“...this happened that the work of God might be displayed in his life...” Jn 9:1-3

“ The only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and by what He does for us, not by what we are and by what we do for Him.” Rm 12:3.

I created the slide in this format to represent the way God takes our "scrambled" lives and makes an "omelet!"

Jesus said “Make yourselves at home in My love.” John 15:9

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; Psa. 30:11
