.........But God
Hello,
I know I must seem like a stranger after being gone for 5 days! Thinking I had strep, I went to the doctor, but the results came back negative. Whatever this ugliness is, it has been sticking close by for almost a week now. That being said, the other reason I have been amiss was due to an exhibit coming up. I finally completed the pieces and am back on track with editing all my notes for our daily writing =D
While we are thinking about our story lines think about this:

…..But God

We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God—those whom he has called according to his plan. Romans 8:28 GW
We know that God did not create us to be weighed down by fear and doubt; He created us for good things! All He asks of us is to take a chance, cast down all false imagination and believe He will under gird ALL success. Not because of how faithful we are, because of how faithful He is. Not because of our great abilities, but because He has a desire to be seen in our weaknesses as we show our confidence in Him to step out even when we know we will probably flail.
The next time you think, “But I’m not smart enough, skilled enough, well known enough…..”, remember ……But God IS! So, take a do over. This time LET it be a new thing He’s doing in you, for you and for us all.
Kisses to you all,
Candace

Eternal Flame
When I was reading the devotion from Ministry in Word yesterday I was reminded of an oil painting that God graced me with the ability to accomplish as a witness to His hearts intent. I am loading the picture below as well as what God translated through the image and His written word.
I am also reminded and thankful for the Ministries He has put in place to reach beyond the walls of His body. Drawing to the Rock and Glimpse of His Glory are just two of such Ministries spilling the creativity of our God out from the hearts and minds of His people to meet unsuspecting individuals right where they are. I know it is their and the artists hope that the individuals gazing upon these works that Christ will be seen, God will be heard and the Holy Spirit will be received.
It is not the skill of the artist that should be magnified, each work no matter how we deem the skill level is precious in His sight. He looks at the hearts intent and uses it for His purposes, in His timing, for His will to be done.
Let us remember to encourage those doing the work for Him, not because they are perfect at it....but because they listen and obey for His Name Sake and Glory.
With the Love of our Christ I pray that today each of us take a risk, move out of our comfort zone and believe in the reality of the Lord God Almighty - otherwise the ones along our way might not see Him, turn to Him and be healed for eternity.
Kisses,
Candace
The cross is God's salvation plan for the lost. Noone gets to the Father except through the Son. It is through our belief in Him and acceptance of His gift that we have eternal life. When I hear the firehouse alarms, I think about the day of the Lord and wonder if anyone else thinks about when it might be, or if they even know what we as Christians know. I think about how God provides the perfect situations in our lives to communicate His love and His desire for us to have life in abundance. We are called to listen, hear, and look deeper than this life and to share with the heart of our Savior.
How tragic if all that transpires from such a calamity is the replacement of lost earthly possessions. I pray that we all look deeper, move more swiftly and reach more passionately - all the while thanking Christ for His life.

2 Peter 3:10 (GWT)The day of the Lord will come like a thief. On that day heaven will pass away with a roaring sound. Everything that makes up the universe will burn and be destroyed. The earth and everything that people have done on it will be exposed.

"I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe."
Ephesians 1:18-19
The beginning of faith is to believe. I look at the fragility of a butterfly and then ponder the strength it took to break free and the knowledge that it comes through with such complexity, splendor and wholeness. I cannot help but believe our Father aches for us to believe in Him, always - in all ways; deeply, honestly, passionately, so that we can break free from any and all bondage that tries to keep us crawling and inching as the caterpillar does. I also believe it is His desire for us to forgive and keep forgiving so that we all can be free to rise above and flutter our beauty in the Higher Community of His Love. Hallelujah, Shalom and Amen in Christ.
