A single encounter with Jesus Christ can transform your life in an instant and forever. 

The meaning of a picture is a painting or drawing.

Have you ever wondered what Our Heavenly Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit really look like?  There are many images that have been drawn over the centuries… But which one is right ??? 

As many of you know 3 months ago I wanted to hire an artist to draw an image I pictured in my mind. So I forged on to the internet to locate the right person. And to my surprise, the one I identified as a possible fit… seems to be deceased… 

Disappointed I began to wonder if I could capture this image before the image faded in my mind… 

I ordered an artist drawing pad and a pencil art set… And I began to explore the artist within…

As we grow up we seem to lose touch with our imagination and artistic child-like spirit… 

But the good news is our Heavenly Father has a way of bringing out the beauty of life and He helps us dispose of the strongholds we endure in this world. He beautifully frees our souls. And helps His children reach for more !!! 

I started this drawing adventure on February 4, 2022. Before this time I drew very little.. sometimes not at all… 

The strange thing is that I have a desire to mainly draw His beautiful face… But that seems to be more of a challenge than I realized… 

So I began by looking at other artists' renditions that have been passed down through the ages. Even movies. We have scholars who have attempted to describe and or capture His image in an artistic way. But the dilemma is which one is correct??

I do believe there is no right answer… “We know the Bible says “ make man in our image.. 

Gen. 1 Verses 26 to 31

In 2020 is recorded that there will be 7.753 billion people.. 

Wow, so many choices … Eyes, Skin, and Hair the choices are infinite…Is there one person that looks exactly like Him? But which one… Many seem to envision the Actor that played His role so vividly. That is the image that pops into their minds.  … An Actor? 

I do believe that we all carry a vision in our minds of what we think our Creator looks like… 

He is the most beautiful amazing wonderful soul we will ever know… And just for the record …He is indescribable…  

But many of His children have tried to capture His essence in an artistic manner. I say we must not rely on the vision of others. We must let our soul tune in to His voice.  And allow our heart and hands to create what the soul feels…

Do you remember when our children and grandchildren were asked to draw their family many drew stick figures ??? And as a parent, our hearts were filled with love that these little souls loved us enough to draw us !!! We shared a love-bonding moment. 

I think God is much the same. When we draw Him we are concentrating on Him alone!!! We try to create an image that He will cherish. Just think He may even carefully attach it to His refrigerator with a magnet. He has reserved a perfect spot with all the other images that He has Collected over the centuries …

And just think He still has room for mine… 

It’s Him. Its always been Him

He WOWs me… 🎨❤❤❤

The term has its roots in Genesis 1:27, wherein "God created man in his own image.

Seek Gods Face 

I ask, what is it that you desire of me? Why do pursue me with such relentless vigor? What can I possibly have that you desire so? I have nothing that is worthy of you. 

I can only give you my heart ... my love? 

Don’t keep me waiting to hear your answer? The anticipation is all-consuming.. all distracting ...  It fills me every waking moment. 

This all-consuming magnetic pull on my vulnerable soul.. is beyond my understanding. 

I wonder when I am in your presence will I have the courage to speak? Or will your majestic splendor render me speechless?

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 1 John 3:1

 Still, round the corner, there may wait, A new road or a secret gate. j.R.R.TolKien

Meaning of Gate: an opening in a wall or fence. 2: a city or castle entrance often with defensive structures (such as towers) 3a: the frame or door that closes a gate. b: a movable barrier (as at a grade crossing) 4a: a means of entrance or exit.

There are so many gates mentioned in the Bible. In fact, the word gate appears 418 times in the KJV.

As I thought about the word gate. This image crept into my mind. A small child.. a summer day and a farmhouse with a fence and a gate. 

I don’t know about you but if this child is me. I would put my small feet on the base of the gate and push. It squeaks, I giggle and find its quite fun.. lets do it again and again… such a cheap thrill. But this thrill and fun are short-lived because I hear my Father’s voice calling me home. 

You ask what does that have to do with a Bible word study?? 

I say a lot… How many of us ride the fence? How many keep our feet on the Gate? How many cannot see our way clear to focus on the gate. How many of us are still looking for the thrill? How many do not hear our father's voice calling us home? 

The Bible is clear that Christ is the gate. He is the only entry point into the presence of God.  He himself tells us He is the Door/Gate. 

So, the question becomes, do we keep looking for the cheap thrill, the fun moments. Or do we focus on Christ? Do we focus on a greater love for eternity? Do we prepare our hearts to walk through the gate? or do our feet get stuck in the holes of the swinging gate?? 

We all have choices to make? For me, I am determined not to ride the gate but I am determined to focus on Him.

Its Him, It's always Him..,

“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. Matthew 7:13-14

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15

Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness... Mother Teresa..

Meaning of face: the front part of a person's head from the forehead to the chin, or the corresponding part in an animal.

There are approximately 68 verses in the Bible that mention the word face.

The human face holds such beautiful mastery. What kind of imagination does it take to create us all the same, but yet we all have a multitude of special unique traits in each of us... eyes, nose, lips and the list goes on and on.. 

I want to know how He does it. I yearn to look upon the face that holds such wonder in His hands. I want to look into His eyes. Do you ever wonder what God looks like? We are all familiar with the scripture. Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them KJV.

So, indulge me, and let’s let our imagination run away with us for a few minutes. Closes your eyes and imagine God with me. What do you see? 

I would love to describe what I see... 

I see Him strong in stature. I see His hands large tan with skin that shows that He is not afraid of hard work... I see His Hair course white, but it is peppered with black and grey tone streaks. His beauty radiates from within. It casts an aura that will engulf your soul. His face shows wisdom and kindness. He has a few lines near his eyes these lines show that He is a wiser older soul. He has a grey beard neatly trimmed. And He has a beautiful welcoming smile. It’s a smile that will warm any man's heart. I left His eyes for last. Because they are mesmerizingly beautiful, deep blue and they speak to your soul without uttering a word. Just standing anywhere in His proximity you will feel a love that is beyond description.  His beauty is soulfully felt in our hearts. Tears will stream down your face just to be in His powerful love overflow. 

Well, if you closed your eyes with me. Share with me what you saw or felt?? Even if what we saw is totally different in our minds. Know He will always look the same in our hearts… Because it’s His love that will show its amazing beautiful face! 

Its Him, It's always HIM!! 

Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. 1 Chronicles 16:11

Make Your face to shine upon Your servant;

Save me in Your lovingkindness. Psalm 31:16

This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. Psalms 24:6
