INSPIRATION BEHIND THE NAME OF THE BLOG

When an artist decides to make a painting, he "conceives" a picture. He then takes out the canvas, brushes and paint. After getting out all he may need, the artist starts picking out the colours and brushes he wants to use...then; he begins! Now, somewhere during the process of this painting he comes to the point where he decides to use a very fine brush to put in the some detail on the painting, but for some reason that brush just does not want to work...and having to finish the painting, the artist chooses another brush which even though it is not as fine (able) as the previous brush becomes a skilful wand in the hands of the artist, not due to the capabilities of the brush...no, due to the willingness!

When you seek Jesus as a fixer, you know of Him and what He can do, but you still do not know Him. - This is not faith BUT When you know Jesus as your salvation, you no longer seek Him because you know that you found Him and you no longer have to look outward but instead you can just look inward because He is inside of you and just waiting to reveal Himself strong and mighty through you. - This is faith Faith is a continual trusting and reliance on Jesus as the source of life (and all that it entails), knowing that what He said will be! 2 Corinthians 2:14 Amplified But thanks be to God, who always ...
