What an encouragement to realize that God has reserved you and me for a special task in His great work. In His hands we're not only useful, but priceless.

The weaker we feel, the harder we lean on God. And the harder we lean the stronger we grow.

Well, painting is the one thing I do, that is just me. It's me and easels, and the pencils. And as long as I don't drool too much over the canvas, the colors come out pretty good. And it's a chance to express all that I've got inside, that I sometimes keep hidden. And I think that's why I paint big broad, wide open landscapes.

Faith means being sure of what we hope for now. It means knowing something is real, this moment, all around you, even when you don't see it.

I want to stay in the habit of 'glancing' at my problems and 'gazing' at my Lord.

God deliberately chooses weak, suffering and unlikely candidates to get His work done, so that in the end, the glory goes to God and not to the person.

God doesn't just give us grace; He gives us Jesus, the Lord of grace.
