Finding Sea Glass

                        Finding Sea Glass
Dear Friends,
     Today while I was working in the garden and meditating on the words that I had read during my quiet time, a message started to come to me that I want to share with you. 
     Some beaches and hidden coves are treasure troves of gorgeous, sparkling glass that has endured years of being washed against the sand and rocks by powerful waves. Things that had been discarded and broken have become treasure.  This beautiful glass is so sought after that in many places where it had been abundant in the past, it is now rarely found. 
    Each piece of sea glass is unique and beautiful.  When a beach is covered with this treasure it is like a piece of art work made by God.  Dale Chihuly  is a glass artist who has  a work called Persian Ceiling.  The colors he used created a masterpiece like a weaving or painting of  smooth, sparkling glass.  
     Because of Jesus and what He suffered in our place on the Cross we are remade.  Each of us is like a piece of this glass, blue, red, green, golden or orange that has been made into a beautiful and precious jewel for His glory.  
     When the sun shines down on a beach and a piece of smooth, sparkling glass is discovered, the one who is seeking the treasure rejoices.  Jesus rejoices when one of us realizes what He did for us and how much He loves us.
    You are a jewel and precious to Him.  He has called you to be His, a part of His masterpiece.
Romans 1:20
"For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky.  Through everything God made, they can  clearly see His invisible qualities--His eternal power and divine nature.  So they have no excuse for not knowing God."
Ephesians 2:10
"For we are God's masterpiece.  He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago."
