The cross mosaic in our prayer garden was created by the women's retreat participants in January, 2010.
The irregular pieces which comprise the background represent us. We are not perfect; we are broken. We are of different backgrounds and have different life experiences. We have different gifts and talents... yet we are all needed for God's "big picture".
The outline of the cross is made of perfect squares, because Christ is perfect. He is constant and unchanging - and we can fully rely on Him.
Jesus took our brokenness and sin as His own on the cross. Your brokenness. Your sin. He didn't have to do it. He did it because He loves you more than you can imagine, and He wants you to live forever.
The mirror pieces are our reflection of Christ's perfect love in this world which needs it so desperately.
This project was created in six pieces, and put together into one large piece. As it was assembled, the finished product could not be visualized. So too, as we work and serve our Savior, we may not always be aware of the impact we make or the lives that are touched along the way.
Lay your brokenness at the foot of the cross, rely on Christ's promise of forgiveness and eternal life- and strength for the journey. Reflect His love wherever you are. You are a wonderful part of God's "big picture".
Our garden is open to anyone at anytime to use for prayer.
