Everything that God builds is amazing. Every time I walk out into the yard and see the cherries growing omg the tree, when I think of holding my sons’ hands in mine when they were small, when I see how he brings real love into a relationship and builds a marriage… God builds beautifully and what He builds is beautiful. And God is building a temple, using His children.
It is exciting to be part of this building. He is using us to spread His grace and love wherever we are. We are to declare His praises in all we do. So when we get together or when we encourage one another in activities, we are truly making a joyful noise in this world of darkness.
We have had some wonderful times these past weeks. Last weekend we had a singing day in Antwerp. It was so good to be together and to share the joy of God’s blessings in song. This past weekend the members in Maastricht organized a youth day for the youth connected with the congregation. We learned about the armor of God, letting the kids know and see that “God wants us to do good, but doing good is hard. That’s why we need the full armor of God.” You can find some pictures here.
This is the first youth day in Maastricht for quite some time. Our youth had grown up and the new youth was still quite young. Now we have a group between 5-12 years old and it is fun to see them together. God has made us all and He has made us all different. But He has also made it possible (not always easy) to work together and form a body, a family, a temple.
In the coming months we look forward to our Bible Camp weeks and then on to September when we can look at more opportunities to share God’s grace in many different ways. How has God been using you these last weeks? What is He building in your area?
