Develope a Palate

Develope a Palate
Daily intake of the Word nourishes the Spirit. Jeremiah's Menu is an exercise in recognizing God's Word made flesh in and around me. Eating the Word in a way that supplies the spiritual nutrients needed to grow. The Menu is offered with the hope of inspiring you to taste and see that the Lord is good. Bon Appetite!

Quote Du Jour

Quote du Jour
Christians may differ on a variety of points, but they have all one spiritual appetite; and if we cannot all feel alike, we can all feed alike on the bread of life sent down from heaven. At the table of fellowship with Jesus we are one bread and one cup. As the loving cup goes round we pledge one another heartily therein. Get nearer to Jesus, and you will find yourself linked more and more in spirit to all who are like yourself, supported by the same heavenly manna. ---Charles Spurgeon, Morning and Evening

beautiful things

I am increasingly convinced... trusting more each day...
God's magnificent power to take the hideous... ugly... most horrific mess... and redeem it into something beautiful... breathtaking... glorious...

Just look at the cross... hideous....
Innocence... flogged... beaten... crucified...

Sovereign in ALL things... allowing only what suits His purpose... opportunities to reveal His glory and redeeming power...


For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
Colossians 1:19-20
(emphasis mine)

God takes the broken -- our contribution to creation -- and makes it beautiful...

All we have to do is invite Him into the mess... into the brokenness... into our hearts...

What mess do you need to invite Jesus into?
Where do you need beauty restored?
