Dear friends in Christ grace and peace to you. The message for this week comes from 
Isaiah 51:1-6.

“Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and seek the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were cut and the quarry from which you were hewn…”
I attended a fund raising event for an area church recently. As I was looking over the items that would be offered at an auction, I happened to see a couple of boxes of books with a note above them that read: “free.” One book caught my eye. I picked it up; it smelled musty like it had been in a basement somewhere for a while. It was an old book, the copyright was 1976. The book written by Charles Colson was entitled Born Again. 

Many who are reading this weekly message are old enough to remember the Watergate Scandal, an event that happened during the Nixon administration. Charles Colson was one of the men charged with a cover up of the event. As I recall it was a mess. Lots of finger pointing, lots of investigations; it captured the attention of the whole nation. Colson was one of then President Nixon’s closest aides. He was the “fix it” man. Colson was merciless in is actions to protect the president’s reputation and his loyalty to the president was second to none. As things began to unfold Colson was front and center to allegations. Colson had many friends and among them where some who had given their lives over to Christ. In the midst of this scandal and up to his neck in legal trouble, through his Christian friends Charles Colson as they say found Christ. But the reality is Christ found him. His life changed, he looked to the one from which he was cut and the place from where he had come from.

We might not be in trouble as Charles Colson was but we might at times know the feeling of hopelessness as our world seems to be crashing in around us. We probably don’t know who or where to turn to for help and sometimes we end up turning to the wrong things for help. Scripture reminds us that we are created in God’s image. When we were baptized, we were marked in the waters of our baptism with the sign of the cross indelibly marking us as one of God’s own children. As a loving parent cares for his/her children so God loves and cares for each of his children. He longs for us to communicate with him, to turn to him in prayer and ask for his help. Help might not come in the way we expect, but it will come when we give ourselves, our lives to him.

May the peace of God be with all of you as you turn to the God who created you in his image and wants to hear from you.
