Pray It Forward Everyday AN ASTOUNDING TRUTH God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son... -John 3:16 This is a statement that we on earth would hardly dare to make, if Jesus hadnt said it first. For not only did our sin put a wall between us and God and between earth and heaven, but it spread its deadly poison into every part of earthly existence. The reality of sins horrific, deadly power is something we dont have to debate: war, genocide, death of innocent children, broken relationships, pollution, waste, destruction of species, and on , and on. But the truth, the astounding truth known in heaven and now revealed on earth is that God loves this world- not the sin, not the violence, not the foolishness that destroys so much- but the forests and mountains, rivers and oceans, birds and flowers, animals and all people: men and women, boys and girls. God loves this world so much that he sent his Son- not to destroy it and us, but to destroy death and to bring new life-beautiful, abundant never-ending life for all of creation to enjoy. Spend a few moments today thinking about the fact that God includes you, your children, friends, and neighbors in his great love and that his greatest desire is that you be filled with his life. Sing to the LORD a new song...all the earth...Proclaim his salvation day after day. Let us pray together~~ Thank you, gracious God, for loving your world and for including me in it. May I see everyone around me as included in your love. And may we together care for your creation and be filled with your life and love. Amen
