who is God looking for?

those who are simply and honestly themselves

before him in their worship

John 4:23
Message Bible

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf,
AKA: M.S.S., Baghdad Bob,
was the Minister of Information.

He is now a pop culture icon.

He baffled Arabs with his
bottomless dictionary of insults and
bemused the West with his staunch defense
of Saddam Hussein's beleaguered regime.

"They're not even [within] 100 miles [of Baghdad].
They are not in any place. They hold no place in Iran.
This is an illusion ... they are trying to sell to the others an illusion."

"I NOW INFORM YOU THAT YOU ARE TOO FAR FROM REALITY."

what kind of information minister
am i?

God is looking for you to be yourself.

He wants you to be honest before him in worship.

The world is broken in many ways--
our relationships with others,
God,
and ourselves.

What hurtful things have been said to you?
What hurtful things have been done to you?

What hurtful things have you said
What hurtful things have you done?

Jesus said,
If you let go of the hurtful things people do to you,
so God will also let go of the hurtful things you do.
This is forgiveness.

you are loved
you are free
you are forgiven

ariel:
i didn't know what mosaic design i was going to create when i got started,
i didn't understand the big picture
but it came together piece by piece.
kind of like God and my life.
i'm glad he sees the big design already.

ray:
there is no perfect fit with the mosaic pieces.
you have to nip and adjust each piece.
like in life.
we want it to fit together perfectly as comes to us.
--right out of the box--
but there are adjustments to be made.

God speaks. God moves. God is beautiful.

we respond. we create. we worship.
