You are a Masterpiece-Wonderfully and Fearfully Made

Lately, I have been listening to the preaching of Joseph Prince.  His ministry sends daily devotional encouragements.  I like to encourage others in their life and their walk with God.  So one of the things I do in my own life is to seek encouragement from God, His word, and the encouragement given by others in these areas.  I really like how Joseph broke apart the different designations of gifting in today's encouragement. I am enclosing a link below to read it for yourself.
This particular encouragement reminded me of Psalm 139.  For indeed God has designed each of us in particular.  There is no detail about us that was overlooked.  For we are fearfully and wonderfully made.  God fashioned each of us as His wondrous masterpiece.  I pray that we will see ourselves as His masterpiece and reflect His bestowed goodness toward one another.  Today, lift up your eyes and look unto Him, He is well able to meet your every need.  You are loved. Shine.

~Debbie

Matthew 5:16  Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

1Corinthians 12:27  Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.

Psalm 139

Singing Encouragement-Overcoming Fear

Never forget God loves you, we all have opportunity to start again, to call upon His name. Sometimes, obedience involves vulnerability. Mine. Overcoming fear. I am singing 🎶 with Jeremy Camp’s song “Getting Started” ~Debbie Prayer: Father God, thank you for the wooing of your Holy Spirit. Thank you that you never forget us, thank you that you want us. Open our eyes to see ourselves the way that you see us in Your Son, Jesus Christ. In Jesus name. Amen Lyrics for this song Getting Started Are you running 'round in circles with no place to go? Is there a person in the mirror you don't even know? Someone still sees who you are, yeah Were you the kid that was a dreamer, now you don't believe? Are you the lock that got so broken, now you lost the key? Someone still loves who you are, yeah To anyone who ever lost your way To everyone who ever felt ashamed Here's a song for all the broken hearted I believe you're only getting started To anyone who trusts in Jesus' nam...

When?

If not now. Then when? What are you waiting for? The time is now. If you are similar to me, there is something you have dreamed of doing ....but put off for another time. The root is FEAR. Cast it aside. What are you afraid of? Success? For years I was fearful of sharing my art. What if no one liked it. What if no one bought it. Well, I have faced my fear and saw my own criticism. I heard someone say one time ,"That the strongest voice you hear in your mind is YOURS." So look in the mirror and repeat after me. No one may like it, no one may buy it....BUT....I refuse to allow my God given talent to lay fallow any longer. You have many gifts that are uniquely yours. How do you know....in the garden of life....you might be a mustard seed! I might be a mustard seed! A mustard seed is quite tiny, yet it grows into a large tree that others may take shelter in. Jesus said... Matthew 13:31 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mus...

I Heard Your Voice

Psalm 23-Beside Still Waters © 2008 Debbie Turner Chavers At times when spending time in God's presence I write poetry, paint art parables, read the bible, or sit and soak in His Peace.  At times I rejoice, making melody in my heart, singing out loud and at times play my tambourine.  There are so many ways to spend time with the LORD.  Make time today, you will be glad you did. I wrote this poem during my study for the art parable "Psalm 23-Beside Still Waters" I Heard Your Voice Beside still waters I heard your voice As a whispered song of love that flowed along. As I traveled a weary road I heard your voice as a crescendo A bubbling brook that refreshed my soul. As I lay to sleep I heard your voice As a wooing song That lapped gently along the edges of my dreams Rowing me home. When my earthly journey is over At the end of my days I want to hear you say "Well done, good and faithful servant." © Debbie Turner Chavers Matthew 25...
