The very One Who created you -- the One Who knit you together in your mother's womb -- loves you more than you can even fathom. He's reaching out to you right now and has paid the ultimate price -- the death of His Son Jesus on a cross, Whom He resurrected to life evertlasting -- in order to make the Way for you to reach back to Him, take His hand, and enjoy the relationship He has desired for the two of you to have since before the foundations of the world were laid. Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Lover of your soul, is standing at the door of your heart and knocking. Do you hear Him? Will you let Him in? _____________________________________________________________________________ Chris Norden Creative Services has been called and equipped to encourage and nurture others through life-changing musical, theatrical, photographic, and recreational experiences which bring glory to God and which lead people into a closer relationship with Him.

"And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you." -- Philippians 1:6, Amplified Celebrating God's work in you!
