Writing and Art From A Life Redeemed by Jesus Christ

Has anyone told you lately that you are unique? You are. You are amazingly unique. God had and has a wonderful plan for you. As life happens, we tend to forget the beauty and uniqueness that is ours alone.  Forget self worship, this is about acknowledging the mastery of God's creation represented in you.  Even our fingerprints are unique to us.  Identical twins do not have the same finger print.  The unique beauty of each person has been created by God as individual as our fingerprints. Psalm 139 recalls God's beautiful creation and His mindfulness in creating unique you. Read this psalm in God's word and remember how much He loves you. He knows you.  He wants you. Imperfect, unique, amazing YOU. In verse 6 it states "Such knowledge is too wonderful for me".  There are so many scriptures that remind you of His thoughts of you.  Indeed, we have always been on His mind. We are loved and cherished by God. 1 John 4:10 Herein is love, not that w...

Recently, I saw a sign of encouragement. One that was particularly special to me. While driving, I thought of a recent discouragement and mulled over what to do and made a quick decision to believe the best about it and to move forward. On paper this sounds so cut and dried, but inwardly it was a struggle to give up my hurt feelings and to forgive. Yet, this is what is required to move forward and leave all results in God's able hands. Within a second of deciding, God slid a red car in front of me within inches of my bumper. I laughed. There right in front of me was FEAR NOT ~ Isaiah 41:10 A sign.. A bumper sticker. Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. We are surrounded by reminders to look up. To not give up. In God's goodness and mercy He is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Pay atten...

There are times when you weep and it seems as though no ones knows or cares. But they do notice. As mere mortals there are some things that with the best intentions that a hug or a kind word will not fix. The Lord will certainly use our arms and voice to minister His love to others, so continue to reach out. Yet there is still a vacuum in our souls that only God can fill. Your pain can not be relieved by others, quit looking around, quit wandering and look up. God notices you and your sore affliction. And He has the answer....Peace which passes all understanding and a love for you that will not fade. So today if something within you cries out for something more...Look up for your redemption draweth nigh. Open the door of your heart and let Him in. Jesus stands there waiting, waiting to be your friend, to break bread with you, fill you with joy unspeakable. What are you waiting for? Jesus is knocking. Open your door. Psalm 56:8 Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bo...
