#creatingBridges

How is God inspiring you? The idea of #creatingBridges is to create something to glorify God, that through sharing might foster a bridge between God and someone not connected to Him.

We encourage you to listen along on Sunday and then create something based off of God’s word. If not from the Sunday Sermon, then perhaps from your bible reading time. God created us in His image, therefore we are made to create as well. So using whichever gifts he’s given you, we’d love for you to create something to glorify God and share it online to encourage others (paint, draw, sculpt, write, record, animate, etc… be creative!)

This is also a great opportunity to include younger kids- have them listen along and color something based off of what Pastor Rob says and we’ll share it.

Send your creations to be posted below to contact@thebridgewired.com. Lastly, if you are on social media, please post them using the hashtag #creatingBridges so we can all follow along together.

Rock of Ages

The strong repeating waves beat hard against my soul.

But I know, O Lord,

that You are in complete control!

I hide myself in You

as You keep me safe in the cleft of Your Rock.

I seek Your Kingdom first

to trust and honor You

for You supply my every need.

I feel so weak and small in this world of uncertainties

but You promised to use me by Your grace

for Your specific purposes.

Therefore, I do not compare myself to others

or worry about what they think of me

or fret about what I’m to do.

For I ask You, Lord, to search my heart

to test and try me

and show me what I need to change

so You can mold and shape me to reflect you fully

as I submit my will to You.

And even if I drift away and feel alone and scared

You will never leave my side

and will carry me back within Your arms

for in You I will always hide.

Healing Rain

Lord, rain down upon me Your grace.

For I have been ashamed of all my mistakes

and I repent of my rebellious ways.

Replace these prickly thorns

with the fruit of Your Spirit

that I present to You

with a thankful heart that overflows.

Wash me clean and strengthen me.

Help me to see that You alone bring victory!

Shine Your Son-Light upon me

so I can sparkle Your healing dew.

For You have made me new

and I give all the glory to You!

You have nourished me by Your Word

and revived my withering, selfish soul.

I am secure and content in You.

Gratefully, I share of Who You are

and how You paid the debt for me

when You died on the Cross at Calvary

and rose to life victoriously!

And I know I will live forevermore

in Heaven with You

where pain and sorrow

exist no more.
