“I come to you in pieces so you can make me whole.”

making something beautiful

When I first encountered the grace of God, It short-circuited my system. The concept of grace was something that I couldn’t wrap my mind around.  I wasn’t aware of it, but at the time I developed a response to it that has been driving me for most of my life.  Only now is God carefully unfolding it for me.  He has used many people and places to open me up.  I want to share it with you.

Jesus Messiah

Last weekend I sang Jesus Messiah by Chris Tomlin.

Here’s a YouTube in case you don’t know the song…

wink

Do you know anyone who winks? I do. I don’t think I have ever winked at anyone. But I have a few buddies who are wink-ers. Usually, just before I am about to do something that makes me incredibly nervous, (like singing in church), one of them will throw me a quick wink.  At a moment like that, a wink says to me “bring it.” It’s a little dose of encouragement.  I am convinced they have no idea what that does inside me.

Do you want to know something? I believe God is winking at us.
