When you feel it can't be fixed and should be thrown away.
I paint flowers over the problem....
This makes a change, it produces a new creation.
Here's another problem.
All fixed and made ready to use again.
Isn't this the same with life?
When things go wrong often we want to give up and hide away?
Yet there is nothing that can't be fixed...with a little love.
So many times I feel like throwing in the towel..
I have loads of excuses..
I'm getting too old.
I'm tired.
I can't be bothered.
Who cares anyway..
BUT...
Someone does, and His name is JESUS.
Jesus says to me: "Crystal I forgive you and I love you."
Place your name here, and read it again.
"................, I forgive you and I love you."
Doesn't that make you feel good!
Colour your world with happiness:

LORD!
Praise, O servants of the LORD,
Praise, O servants of the LORD,
Praise the name of the LORD!
Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forevermore!
From the rising of the sun to its going down The LORD's name is to be praised.
The LORD is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens.

What would we do without Him?
