gospel peace

Wow, my time in Uganda is too quickly coming to an end this trip. We came for two months. Have been here for four, and I am not ready to go home.
As challenging as things are at times, there’s a simplicity and pressing into God that is growing deeper the longer I’m here.
Last year I spent eight months reading and rereading the Gospels, needing so much to go back to the simplicity of the Gospel and relearning from Jesus how to love well in our ever-changing world.
This year I’m seeing the Gospel in every book of the Bible I read and I’m constantly amazed at the love, grace, mercy and forgiveness that we are given each day and how much of that same love, grace, mercy and forgiveness is required of us each day.
The Gospel is all about love; the love of God and the sacrifice of his son. That love is reflected in every single thing that God created. It is mostly reflected in his people. Oh how I want my life to be one that draws people to Jesus and not away from him.
Like Granby in America is my place to go to rest in God, these photos are on Lake Victoria in Uganda where I find the same peace and rest. I love to go here and spend time worshiping God in the beauty of his creation. I would love to have a place on the lake where people can come and find rest in the shelter of God’s Word!!!
I pray that each day you will find peace and rest in the simplicity of the Gospel.
