taizé church
taizé, francetaizé is such a beautiful and creative place! God has placed within us such a great capacity to create and we are using it less and less. we pay others to create for us. we produce instead of creating. how much uglier the world is because of this! how much less joy. how much less beauty. oh that i were able to set my heart free to create as it was made to do! music, spaces, crafts - useful, simple, beautiful things. may our community in kansas city be such a place, full of simple beauty. may people be drawn to a place of your peace, Lord. show us what that looks like. show us what to create, and for what purpose. put in our hearts a song, and in our minds images of what to do. let it be beautiful. let us not stifle our creativity, the image of who you are, the Creator. let us display to a dying and ugly place your image through creativity. gardens? repaint rooms? songs?
some truths i feel i've had my eyes opened to:
- God speaks in what is small and humble.
- Life is a gift and therefore it must be given.
- God is the Creator, not the Producer.
