| Be Still Gently Drawn Away (Oil 16X20) Experiencing Jesus, a moment of quiet satisfaction. No way to run after the moment, one must stand quietly, just enjoy. Awakened b y the Spirit in early morning, Just to hear Him say, I love you.Oh! the love of God, received only in sweet surrender, His Lordship to last forever. I don't deserve His loving dedication. I'm far from rising to the occasion. My love is feeble - the best I try. He knows that, but keeps on loving me. Hanging on a cross made from a tree. "I lay down my life," He gently cries, "My death makes your love justified." How weak and feeble is my faith, My heart yearns to be in His presence. Will I ever learn to love Him as He serves! Be a loving servant? One who serves is all He asks, Look to Jesus! |
"Be still, and know that I am God Psalm 46:10
The Journey~~~~ Walk the Talk!
This painting was painted in 1977 when we first moved to Pagosa. It was the Winter of my soul. We moved from sunny Arizona to the mountains where we were snowed in for days. I learned in those winter days that God was showing me how to be still and hear His gentle voice.
I kicked and screemed but finally I heard His Voice, "I am drawing you into the wilderness to speak tenderlyto you." You do not know my voice, you think you do, but you don't, you are still full of wrath. I am the only one who can deliver you from yourself.
God told Job, "If you can deliver man from wrath, then save yourself." We can not save ourselves and we can not release ourselves from our own anger, it takes an intervention from God to give us that relief.
