all things new!

There is one Author and there is one Story. And the all-knowing Author knew how the story would end, even as he penned the seas and swarmed them with living creatures, as He breathed life into the creatures whose sin would one day nail Him to a tree.

And knowing all of that – knowing that He was creating the plants and yielding the seeds that would one day be his cross, that the beasts of the fields would need to be used as sacrifices for His people – knowing this then, the Author and Creator saw it all and called it good.

But why? It may seem trite to say, but the answer is love. He made the world perfect knowing that it would become imperfect and that He would make it new again.

pela manhã...

A minha nova hora favorita do dia. Um tempo a sós com Deus com o Tim, pela manhã, antes dele sair para o trabalho e os meninos acordarem. Precioso!

"Faze-me ouvir o Teu constante amor pela manhã, pois em Ti confio. Faze-me saber o caminho que devo seguir, pois a Ti levanto a minha alma." Salmo 143:8

A Sós com Deus

"...Only believe. Accept the work already done, the work of Jesus on the cross. Accept the goodness of Jesus Christ. Abandon your own works and accept His. Abandon your own decency and accept His. Stand before God in His name, not yours. It`s that easy? There was nothing easy about it all. The cross was heavy, the blood was real, and the price was extravangant. It would have bankrupted you or me, so He paid it for us. Call it simple. Call it a gift. But don`t call it easy.
Call it what it is. Call it GRACE." - Max Lucado
