That Easter service sparked something in me. Something really powerful.
Because I know from Whom these gifts come from. Romans 11:29, “for God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable…”
Goosebumps and tears, I remember how I felt. I felt the awesome presence of God then. Marveling at how His people are manifesting just a facet of Himself, His creativity, His talents. Too often, people seem to have faith in Jesus, but not His bride – the church. But the church is His idea. Have faith in Him. It’s all about Him anyway, and not about us. It’s our privilege to be in it. : )
The anointing on Patrick manifested into such a wonderful piece of art.
I remember watching a similar painting style on a show, where the artist paints something only his mind knows, and at the end when he turns his finished portrait around, everybody becomes astounded at the image revealed. On that show, the face of a famous celebrity was painted. Here, there’s so much more meaning to the portrait revealed.
So beautiful is our Lord…

Should You have told me that every thing I went through this past week was so that I might have missed out on yesterday, tonight and tomorrow, I might have told You that I don’t want to endure the tumult. I just want to wallow and let the evil day pass by me. But I know You. I know that You have even greater things ahead for me. I knew You were there all the while, but for some reason You kept quiet. Now, I know why. You wanted me to trust You, in Your goodness and faithfulness. Even in the silence, through the tears when I could see nothing and no one, I know my Shepherd’s voice whispering to my heart, “Don’t cry.” Thank You.. Thank You Jesus. When the enemy comes against you 1 way, your God shall cause him to flee before you 7 ways… Thank You for this precious night of fellowship Lord. : ) Thank You for yesterday also… In Your light, we see light. Forgetting is easy. When familiarity seeps in, we need reminders. We need pointers. We need to be focused on Him once again. By beholding Him and Him alone, we are transformed. Thank You, sweet Saviour. You know the desires in our hearts, the hunger aroused in us and in our midst, You are there, fellowshipping with us. Thank you YW. : )
