It is always such a wonderful and gratifying feeling when you give a gift to a loved one that totally delights their heart. That in turn thrills your own heart and creates such mutual joy.

How strange it must seem to God’s angelic host as they observe the peculiar ways of man! I’m sure they must watch in shock and amazement as they witness mankind operating out of a system that says, “Seeing is believing!” I can imagine them scratching their heads and whispering to each other, “Don’t they get it yet what true faith is?” They must think we are insane because we have it all backwards. When are we going to learn God’s way of believing it before we see?

Have you ever longed to be a part of something so much bigger than yourself? When we allow ourselves to see through God’s eyes we will always find that his vision, unlike ours, is unlimited.

Come and be a vital part of a God sized idea to bless the whole world!

When I see a beautiful tapestry I step back for a moment to admire the overall pattern. As an artist, I like to examine all the different threads, textures, and colors that are woven together to tell a story or create a stunning piece of handiwork. Each one is unique. Likewise, what God, the Master Weaver, does with all the strands of each one of our lives is nothing short of miraculous and breath taking. We each are a “one of a kind masterpiece” in His hands!

When one goes to battle they had better be totally armed and understand the tactics of the enemy. Do you have a strategy for victory? Do you know what that looks like? Are you appropriately dressed for battle and totally protected? Is your shield failproof?
