The Beauty of Guatemala!

Sometimes seeing God's love can be difficult. Life has a way of beating us down with difficulties, or lulling us to sleep with its predictable norms. Either way, we often fail to see and appreciate the depth of God's love. If we look close all of us can see his love, and feel his arms around us.

I've been able to take a step back the last month and see His creation through the beauty of nature. I see Him in those we serve with on a daily basis.  I see Him in the Guatemalan children, with their bright eyes and big smiles full of hope for the future. I see Him in the newborn infant who is crying in his mothers arms. I see Him in the many ways that this project has brought together the body of Christ! All of this just scratches the surface on the love God has for us. In Ephesians 3:17-19 it says:

"And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of the fullness of God."

Heres some pictures showing the beauty that is in Guatemala!
