His Masterpiece

Close your eyes with me if you will and picture in your imagination the heavenly courts of heaven. 
You're standing, half kneeling in front of Jesus, with emeralds of gold shining in luminous light around the throne room. Through tears you see Jesus.

Trembling, barely looking up to gaze into his eyes, you try to form the words that have been weighing on your heart for quite sometime.
“I give them all to you,” You say. “I’m tired of keeping all my feelings in, trying to be strong on my own, I need you. I’m broken like shards of glass, every fiber of my being I give to you, all the pain, loneliness, suffering, happiness, sin, everything in my life. I lay all in your hands. I’m so unworthy of your love. Help me!”
And even before you finish, as you lay crying, a crumpled mess on the floor, Jesus takes you in His arms with the most tender, caring hug ever. He holds you tight and says;
“I’m here for you my child, I will never let you go. My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in your weakness. Now get ready for the conflict that to come. Its coming soon.”

Peace fills every part of your being. In Jesus’ arms you feel safe. The emptiness inside is gone, and in its place is warmth and comfort. You don’t want to leave this place, but stay here in Jesus’s arms forever. But you have no choice, you were born on this earth to run a race, to do a service for the master which must be accomplished.


Friends, whatever you're going through today or this past week. I just want to say, Jesus loves you and longs to take you in his arms. Give everything in your life to Him. That's when you will find what you’ve been longing for all along. He will fill the empty places in your heart, and carry you when you have no more strength left. He cries when you cry, feels the pain you're going through, and understands.


We have trials every day but we can go forth as conquerors with God's strength. No matter how broken we may be, God can take us, shards of glass, rock and stone, and make a beautiful masterpiece.

See the Faces

Her eyes, a cool shade of hazel, stared blankly at the wall. She looks lost.. no peace and joy, just sadness and a deep need. A want for something real and better. They say that the eyes are the window to the soul, and in that moment I believe that was true. In that one glance, I could feel her pain and unrest. It took all that was in me to continue on with the procedure and not to stop and say, “before we continue let me tell you about my Jesus.”  But all I could do was pray for her. Sometimes all you can do is smile, pray and have a kind spirit. Often actions speak louder than words. Sometimes what we do, makes more of an impact then what we say. He returned my greeting with a bitter, yet painful expression. I knew something was wrong. He later opened up about a beloved pet that was dying from cancer. I could understand how he felt, for I too have lost a precious pet myself. The walls now broken down by shared experiences; we had a  conversation about God and the ...
