We must seek the living Jesus among the living, among the spirit filled saints of God. We must seek the living Jesus in the Holy Ghost filled church, where the living word of the gospel is preached and lived out daily. We must seek the Lord Jesus among the spirit filled who are alive in the Lord. We will not find Jesus in the things of the world, but in the things of the spirit, alive and well among God's people. Each dawn proclaims resurrection.
Every sunrise tells of a new beginning and all creation sings for joy.
From the start of time, Divine Creator, you painted each day with light, fashioned beauty from mountain heights to valley lows, and caused praise to whistle through trees and splash on seashores. When we took to hurrying through beauty, bruising each other and taking blessings for granted, you sent Jesus to open our eyes to the new dawn and stir our dreams to a new beginning. Holy and loving are you, O God, for each dawn is a resurrection gift, a possibility to deepen relationships, forgive ourselves and those near to us, make peace and share love. Every sunrise rolls back the stone of doubt and lets the alleluia loose. Wondrous and great are you, O God.
