Living OUT Loud in our Worship in our Work and in our Witness… What have you done to Live OUT Loud?

God’s love is meteoric,
His loyalty astronomic,
His purpose titanic,
His verdicts oceanic.
Yet in his largeness
nothing gets lost;
Not a man, not a mouse,
slips through the cracks.

How exquisite your love, O God!
How eager we are to run
under your wings,
To eat our fill at the banquet
you spread
as you fill our tankards
with Eden spring water.
You’re a fountain of cascading light,
and you open our eyes to light.

Keep on loving your friends;
do your work in welcoming hearts.

Peter fairly exploded with the good news: “It’s God’s own truth, nothing could be plainer: God plays no favorites! It makes no difference who you are or where you’re from – if you want God and are ready to do as he says, the door is open. The Message he sent to the children of Israel – that through Jesus Christ everything is being put together again – well, he’s doing it everywhere, among everyone.”

Have you ever felt lost within your own life like you were alone as you go through your days? Psalms reminds us that God loves us exquisitely and nothing, absolutely nothing, gets lost by God. You can never slip through the cracks or be overlooked by God.

In Acts, Peter finally gets it – God’s love and God’s truth is for everyone. “God plays no favorites!” If you want God … the door is open. God has never stopped wanting or loving you.

What an amazing message for every one of us. What an amazing message we can spread to those who are currently feeling lost and left out. God loves each and every one of his people, and we are all God’s people.
