God is the Chain Maker

Each person is a carefully and intricately constructed piece of jewellery. That by its very nature shows what an artistic and skilled God we have.

Precious and unique each man’s life can be compared to a necklace. Even though many parts are involved there is rhyme and purpose to the overall piece.

Although each of our lives are a complete design on our own, we too are intrinsically a part of every other person we come in contact with, share our lives with and have influence on. We have opportunity to beautify links in their complete chain.

Either directly or indirectly God forms our lives by placing together different links to make a whole. He is the chain maker. The chain is as beautiful or simple in direct contrast to our obedience to His Word and voice.

OTHERS

Helping others is a friendly deed,
That we should do each day
By seeing other friends in need
And helping them on their way.

Compassion is also a thing we all must learn,
If we see aa hurt or lonely person,
And our heart for them does yearn,
Then we should get up and do what needs to be done.

Character is being what we are,
Without fear of what others will think,
Sticking out even if what we do is rare,
And knowing God will help us then all our doubts will sink.
