The Portrait of God in Your Life

Your Life is called to make history- His Story. You weren't created for mediocrity, for nothingness.  You were created with a purpose and a passion that comes from God.  You are a gift to the peoples of this earth.  A gift from a loving Father, who is a creator- an artiste of unlimited magnitude.  Your life is His expression.  Not necessarily everything that has happened to you, for this fallen world would seek to mar the beauty and turn off the music and put out the light.  But they cannot.  It lives inside of you.  So don't let disappointments, or fears or your self made limitations hold you back.  Throw yourself into the arms of the your loving Father, who wants you to discover all that He has created you to be.  Give yourself over to Him completely. Fall so in love with Jesus and Father God and Holy Spirit...that nothing is too hard, nothing is too small, nothing is too big or high to attain, for HE is bigger and stronger and His Love is more powerful.  It will pick you up, it will thrust you forth and it will keep you and it will lead you an it will compel you. But it is the most wonderful love that you cannot live with out. You cannot be whole with out this love of His.  It is time to discover His Love for you, or rediscover it. all over again.  Be refreshed, Be revived. Be loved this day as never before.  And let Him become your everything.... because YOU mean everything to HIM.

Acts 20:24 (New Living Translation)

New Living Translation (NLT)

²⁴ But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.

Is this your song? if not, will you make it your song? What is our life worth if we are not following Christ, if we are not laying down our lives moment by moment. What does our life amount to, if we are not BEING Christ to others, bringing His Presence, His Passion for souls and touching lives and allowing HIM to touch through me and you and transform lives...

Oh Lord-Pick me up like a paint brush and Paint YOUR Picture...





“Paint Your Picture / The Paintbrush” by Julie Meyer

Pick me up like a paint brush
God, dip it in the colors of my life
Paint Your picture
Father, fashion a heart that is wholly Yours
Take Your fingers, God,
Master potter come mold the clay
Tell your story as You mold me
Fashion a heart that is wholly Yours
And write Your name, write Your name in the clay
And sign Your name, sign Your name on the picture
And write Your name, write Your name in the clay
And sign Your name, sign Your name on the picture
Pick me up like a paintbrush
God, dip it in the colors of my life
And paint Your picture
Father, fashion a heart that is wholly Yours
Take Your fingers, God,
Master Potter, come mold the clay
Tell Your story as You mold me
Fashion a heart that is wholly Yours
And write Your name, write Your name in the clay
And sign Your name, sign Your name on the picture
And write Your name, write Your name in the clay
And sign Your name, sign Your name on the picture
Take all I am
Take all I am
I am Yours
Forever, Forever
Take all I am
Take all I am
And I am Yours
Forever
And ever
Take all I am
Take all I am
For I am Yours
Forever, and ever
Take all I am
Take all I am
For I am Yours
Forever
So, come write Your name, write Your name in the clay
Come sign Your name, sign Your name, on the picture
Come write Your name, write Your name in the clay
Come sign Your name, sign Your name on the picture
