From Gary... Colors, contrast and LIGHT!!!

What a beautiful picture!!!  It just reaches out and grabs you!!!  Why? Well, for me it is the contrasting strong colors together with the textures of the composition.  We see so much in our lifetimes, that it is easy to take things for granted and not really look at the sights around us. Light is a good thing and variations of color enrich our existence.  Yesterday, I took Linda to lunch in Dade City at a place that was reported to have great subs and they DO!!! Before we left, I thought I would indulge in a little ice cream and one of the options was something called "superman". What wonderful contrasting colors it had -something like this picture. 

God called light good and when the best of all light came into the world- he was called Jesus. 

Genesis, Chapter 1 (WEB)

 1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.  2 The earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep and God’s Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters. 

  3  God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.  4 God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness.

John, Chapter 1 (WEB)

 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  2 The same was in the beginning with God.  3 All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made.  4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.  5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it. 

There is a lot of darkness in the world lately and the good news is that it will never overcome the true light. Christians are to be like Jesus- and this means being light for a dark world.

Jesus said...

Matthew, Chapter 5 (WEB)

 14  You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.   15  Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.   16  Even so, let your light shine before men; that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. 

Shine for the love of God and for Jesus! Be the very best you can be- in fact, be super!!! Wow! Now I really am going to have to try that "superman" ice cream!!!
