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!

Mat 22:14 for many are called, but few are chosen...

I believe this scripture does not refer to God having favourites and therefore does not want to choose some, but rather because some are consistently refusing God's grace and love to shape and mold their hearts.

Do you realize just how much God loves you...? He created the universe with words, yet He took the time to mold, shape and create you...this has to make you wonder; who is this God that thought of me before the foundation of the earth and if He thought of me, that must mean that I am worth so much in His hands...?


LOVE...WHAT IS LOVE AND DO YOU TRULY KNOW LOVE?

Do you know LOVE? Have you gazed into HIS EYES, whilst hanging on your cross?


Have you ever been cursed, falsely accused, beaten, spit on, humiliated, rejected by the ones you care for, left for dead...?

Have all of the above or some of the above been done to you after you gave your heart, your help, your time, yourself to the person?

Now, my question...do you still love that person with all of your heart and do you still look to that person with JOY in your HEART and HOPE in your EYES?


If yes, then you are tapping into the ONE called LOVE and His name is Jesus Christ!


Jesus Christ's destiny was to lay Himself down for the world, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him will not perish but have eternal life...

Picture this...

The very people whom Jesus loved so much that He was willing to die for them was the very ones who cursed Him, falsely accused Him, beaten Him, spit on Him, humiliated Him, rejected Him and ultimately left Him for dead...YET, He still used His last breath to cry out to God for their forgiveness because they know not what they do.


This is Love and His name is Jesus Christ, when you get to 
know Him...you too can become love like Him.


Lord forgive us for our arrogance and ignorance, forgive us for holding on to grudges, bitterness and hatred...thinking that our feelings are justified because of what we have gone through...thank you Jesus Christ for loving me right up until the point where it cost You Your life and help me to receive Your gift of life and make the most of that gift by leading a life that follows in Your footprints.

Matthew 16:24 AMP

Discipleship Is Costly

The Jesus said to His disciples, "if anyone wishes to follow Me (as My disciple), he must deny himself (set aside selfish interest) and take up his cross (expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come) and follow Me (believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me).



HIS LOVING GAZE...
