GRAY

GRAY: My word today. Woke up as some of you did to a very gray overcast snowy morning. We’re in the between seasons of winter and spring. A shade of gray, but we know soon that spring is coming and all the colors will be bursting forth. Gray is a popular shade to mix and match with other colors for weddings, so it's a trend or an "it" color right now.

Gray is a color pigment between black and white, slate, smoky, dull….colorless. Other words to describe gray include: gloomy, dreary, and monotonous. Gray is desperate for light and color. It’s kind of like that when we say we are in a “gray mood”. We’re low, we’re down and when we are in a gray mood…we sure don’t feel like we are popular. When we’re gray we feel desperate at times for some color in our life.

There comes times in our lives when our following God turns gray. We get so used to not including Him in our lives, we tend to get dull, lose meaning and our purpose. We become monotonous in our day to day living. We see failure and feel hopeless….but God sees you beyond the gray. He sees the real color in your life. 

Just like a box of colored pencils, most of us don’t reach in and go for the gray pencil. We want the bright and vibrant colors to make our picture look like something beautiful that will catch your eye. That is what God chooses for our lives. The closer you get to Him, He will bring the color back to your life from the drab gray into something beautiful. He sees us through the rose colored glass. Let Him bring a new color back in to your life.

“You have looked deep into my heart, Lord, and you know all about me.” (Psalm 139:1 CEV)
