By His Wounds We Are Healed

"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed." - 1 Peter 2:24

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemn already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God." - John 3:16-18

Without Christ the whole world would be condemned, because of our sin and rebellion towards God. But God loved us so much that even though we all have sinned against Him, He sent Christ so that we might all have chance to be saved. We are saved by admitting we are sinners, believing that Christ is Lord, and committing ourselves to Him. I am so thankful for such an awesome God that has forgiven me of all my sins, and I pray that each day God will help me grow closer to Him and to become more like Christ!

"Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved." - Romans 10:9-10

In His Garden

Above is my drawing of a garden, and below is the poem I wrote to go with it.

God's love is a work of art,

It's a beautiful image on our heart.

Of how His son did come to die,

So we could be sanctified.

Christ shed His blood on the cross,

So we all might not be lost.

He rose on the third day,

In hope that we would pray.

So we might ask for His pardon,

So we could be with Him in His garden.

Music

"All music should have no other end and aim than the glory of God and the soul's refreshment; where this is not remembered there is no real music but only a devilish hub-bub."

~ J. S. Bach

Lost in God

"May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God and into the steadfastness of Christ."

- 2 Thessalonians 3:5

"A girl should get so lost in God, that a guy has to seek Him to find Her!  

- Dannah Gresh

Art

"Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere."

   - G. K. Chesterton

Helen Keller

Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing at all.

~ Helen Keller

 God, who got you started in this spiritual adventure, shares with us the life of his Son and our Master Jesus. He will never give up on you. Never forget that.

~ 1 Corinthians 1:9

The Phantom of the Opera

"Those who have seen your face draw back in fear. I am the mask you wear, it's me they hear."

  ~ The Phantom of the Opera, Andrew Lloyd Webber

You can't keep your true self hidden forever; before long you'll be exposed. You can't hide behind a religious mask forever; sooner or later the mask will slip and your true face will be known.

~ Luke 12:2-3a
