Creator Credit

~~~ Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini, Virgin ~~~

~~~ Wisdom 13:1-9 ~~~ Psalm 19 ~~~ Luke 17:26-37 ~~~

All men were by nature foolish who were in ignorance of God,
and who from the good things seen did not 
succeed in knowing him who is...

How does one marvel at the beauty of all creation
or the power and energy of storms and yet not see God.

All things originate in God...
all beauty, all strength, all energy, all power...
All that is comes from God, but we still
have those who do not believe in him.

If you rely on science to explain all that surrounds you,
eventually you will come to a dead end.

It is right to give the creator credit for all
that exists in the universe.

If you see beauty...you see God.

If you feel the wind upon your face...you feel God.

If you witness s sunrise or a sunset...you experience
the grandeur of God.

The evidence that God does exist is all around you.

What purpose would it serve to deny
 the existence of God?

Look around...open your eyes...
where do you witness God manifesting himself today?

Become more present with the world in which you live;
this is where God makes himself visible...real.

Any work of art is the result of the artist
being inspired by God to create.

Inspiration comes from the spirit of God.

Nothing can compare to the creativity
 of what God has made for us.

Many times an artist is inspired by the patterns
 or the beauty of nature in making their own creation.

Find God in a place where you least
expect him to be present.

There is a piece of God in all of creation.

~~~Peace~~~

Energy from the Bow

~~~ Hebrews 10:32-39 ~~~ Psalm 37 ~~~ Mark 4:26-34 ~~~

We are not among those who draw back and perish, 

but among those who have faith and will possess life.

We have been strengthened
through the power of the Holy Spirit
to have the courage to move forward.

Just as an  arrow is drawn back across
the bow to be released into the air.
We must draw back to God.
He is the bow of our faith that will send us out.

It is God who possesses all life.
He alone gives life to us.

When we have drawn back to God...when we have
 come to completely trust in God...
He will send us forth to flourish.

We have the potential to become
mighty in the hand of God,
just as the tiny mustard seed grew
 into the large bushy plant.

Just as the bow provides the arrow with momentum
God provides us with the momentum of his love.

We must allow God to draw us fully toward him.
It is only in this surrendering that his energy
can be transferred into us.

The mustard seed was able to grow because of God's
energy being pushed into its tiny being.

Blessings come from allowing God
 to draw us completely unto himself.

~~~Peace~~~
