Landscape

Your life's like a landscape and God has the brush.The work is in progress; He's not in a rush.Each stroke has a purpose; nothing's by chance.To see all His wisdom takes more than a glance.
Notice the sunbeams that shine on the dew --Even the clouds can't keep them from view.Look at the pathway that turns at the hill --Its course will reveal what's next in His will.
The stream that's flowing with water so blueIs bringing down blessings meant just for you.The trees that are planted close to the streamWill bring forth more fruit than you've ever seen.
The bird in the nest with mouth opened wideIs just a reminder that God will provide.Now look at the sheep in the meadow that's nearAnd notice the Shepherd that keeps them from fear.
He's brought them to pastures, which give forth the best,That cool and refresh, and keep them in rest.The eagle above, that soars o'er the galeIs God's way of saying, "My strength will not fail."
That part of the painting, which now seems unclearWill take on new meaning with each passing year.So trust God to work in His own perfect wayAnd rejoice in the beauty He's painting today.

No other artist could have painted this picture, only Jesus could have painted Calvary. Our church name bears that deed, but our hearts needs to bear Jesus for all to see

Our lives are the brush, His blood -- The paint,
This world -- The canvas, Our ministry –
His Masterpiece.
