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.

Meaning of purchase: the action of buying something.

The word purchase appears in the Bible in 50 occurrences in 12 translations. 

A priceless gift.. Jesus 

You were actually purchased with precious blood, like that of a sacrificial lamb unblemished and spotless, the priceless blood of Christ. 1 Peter 1:19

It makes me wonder were we worth it??  

Many have turned their back on the greatest love known to mankind… It’s that agape love from God that runs so deep that our human mind can not understand the generous heart that He possesses.  

We were purchased, with His life, blood, and last breath… 

The agonizing moment wounds my heart… I would like to turn back the hands of time and change history… He was and is too precious to lose…

Sadly I do not possess the power to save Him from the pain He endured. But I have the power to repay Him for loving me so much that He would die a humiliating, grueling death just for me.

So I will ask my Dearly Beloved…What do you want of me? What do I have of value? There are no earthly possessions that have such richness and beauty...

I can only give you my heart, my mind, and my soul… 

But how? Just how do we give Him our all? It is a daily commitment. A daily choice. A daily act of love. 

It’s easy when we spend the time to truly get to know Him!! 

It’s Him! It’s always Him! and Yes He WOW's me...


'When I passed by you again and looked upon you, indeed your time was the time of love; so I spread My wing over you and covered your nakedness. Yes, I swore an oath to you and entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine,' says the Lord God. Ezekiel 16:8

The meaning of release allows or enables to escape from confinement; set free.

We located 30 Bible verses that speak of the word release. 

Do we wear our scars and life trials like clothing on a blustery winter day... One layer at a time.  Do we hide our hearts and souls from the elements of this life... Do we tuck them deep inside? 

Sometimes this happens organically... Without any thought... Some lose themselves and become robotic in their daily humdrum existence... We pour ourselves into the mold of what man has created as acceptable. 

Four years ago... I had a Holy Spirit experience that thrust me into the shedding many life layers... one layer and one day at a time... 

This time was filled with a newfound love, joy, and wonder.  But this time also tapped into emotions that were suppressed within for so long.  

Society sees weeping as a weakness. My Heavenly Father taught me the gift of tears is a cleansing of the soul and a beautiful gift.  They release an emotion that helps us seek His face, His light, and His guidance. 

He lovingly invited me to step out from the oppressed lifestyle society deemed appropriate. A lifestyle that I had become accustomed to. Where I was not comfortable sharing my heart, or my most inner thoughts. The word vulnerability was a word that I owned. 

However, I had a beautiful soul that rescued me. He gave me a beautiful gift of Heavenly Love and He released my soul. 

Many tears fell as I transitioned from the fear of what others would think to one of pleasing my Heaving Father. During this journey, I found a love beyond this world. I found peace in the depths of my soul. I found renewed hope. I found me... 

I owe Him more than I can ever repay... He is truly a daily gift of freedom that this world does not understand or can even contain... Jesus showed the world not even death can stop Him... 

I can only fall to my knees as my heart fills with a love that defies all human understanding...

It's Him... it's always Him. 

Four years and He still WOWs me. It's been an incredible journey. 

Thank you! My Beloved Triune for the gift of you.

Beyond the beauty of external forms, there is more here: something that cannot be named, something ineffable, some deep, inner, holy essence. Whenever and wherever there is beauty, this inner essence shines through somehow. It only reveals itself to you when you are present. Eckhart Tolle

The meaning of ineffable: is too great or extreme to be expressed or described in words.

How do we describe the indescribable? How do we share someone that is so deep so powerful yet so vulnerable? 

When we speak of God we see His greatness, His power, His love... But have we ever stopped to think of Him being vulnerable? 

I believe that most people would not use the word vulnerable in the same sentence with the word God... Unless we are speaking of self.. 

However, I feel to love fully without judgment, without boundaries without self. One must open their vulnerable heart to feel without restraint. 

So is it possible for God to love us with the greatest love that has ever existed without being vulnerable to the ones He loves the most? 

This vulnerability in Him must allow Him to grieve beyond our understanding. Especially when His children turn away, or just simply do not take the time to love Him... How does He love us with such passion? 

His love is indescribable. It truly defies human understanding.  

He is as close as a whisper in the wind. But yet He seems to stand just barely out of reach... He can not be touched... He can only be felt within the longing of my heart and my vulnerable soul.

I stand in awe of His beauty, His grace, and His amazing soul wows me. 

I can only humbly ask Him to share His vulnerable soul with me. 

He is the meaning of ineffable.

He is the Alpha, where my heart begins, and the Omega where my heart ends...  

It's Him... It will always be Him. ❤

2 Corinthians 9:15 CPDV

Thanks be to God for his ineffable gift.  (of Him)

"Go forth into the busy world and love it. Interest yourself in its life; mingle kindly with its joys and sorrows." Ralph Waldo Emerson  

Three little letters.  JOY.  What is joy?  When does it come?  What does it look like?  

The word joy is used over 100 times in the Bible.  It means an emotion evoked by well-being, calmness, or inner gladness.

 
As we shall see it is an inward peace that is not affected by outward circumstances.  

At the moment we are living in times that are tough to see and times that are disheartening.  One of the first verses that came to me was:  God gives us the oil of joy for mourning.  Just why does He use the word oil.  Oil is used to make something run smoothly.  It is also used to soothe an injury or hurt.  As we seek Him in difficult circumstances the Holy Spirit applies that comfort and peace to our souls.  He gives us inward joy knowing He surrounds us in His loving arms. 

In tough times it is also time to remember who we are and why we are here.  We are His temple here on earth, we are His children, we are set free, and heirs of all that He has.  No circumstance or situation can remove us from who we are.  He delights in us.  What joy fills our hearts as we rejoice in the lover of our soul.  In His presence is fullness of joy. 

Let us look at Jesus as He approached the final week of His earthly life.  What was He thinking?  The Bible says that because of the joy awaiting Him, He endured the cross.   He knew want was coming, but He knew His purpose.  He knew the outcome of the horrors He faced and He had joy. 

Our joy in life comes not from things like a new house or a new car, but His presence and purpose in us.  Loving Him and others is our purpose and is the only thing that gives us true joy. 

So know who you are and the purpose you are here on the earth.  
Psalm 16:11

He will show me the path of life; in His presence is fullness of JOY; at His right hand are pleasures forevermore. 
Hebrews 12:2

Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith; who for the JOY that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is sit down at the right hand of God
