May Daddy God protect and heal my family and friends. #shalom

Ezer KenegdoEve was God's last masterpiece “It is not good for man to be alone, I shall make him an ezer kenegdo.” Gen 2:18
The various attempts we have in English are “helper” or companion” or the notorious “help meet”. Hebrew scholar Robert Alter who spent many years translating the book of Genesis translates it as “sustainer beside him”.
She rides the waves, alongside; she sustains you | Above Troubled DepthsFinalist in 2016 Angelico Art Award -Open Category: Who is Jesus to me: So often, people believe in a God but doubt the deity of Jesus Christ. They say He is just another prophet. To me, Jesus is the son of God. God revealed Himself to us in a personal way by coming down to earth and walking among us. Cherished by Him, I am held above troubled depths by His Love.
If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. | Angel HeartWhen we see with our hearts, we see mythically, we begin to awaken and what we discover is that things are not what they seem. I may grow older with the passing years but may the good Lord always create in me a clean heart, renewed each day by His wondrous love. Ezekiel 36:26 says- I will give you a new heart." Thus, may I have the glory of a heart fully alive no matter no matter how old I grow!

Be StillOil on canvas-32×24 inches Be still – Nature is a window to the spirit within us.
“Still waters” - waters that flow very slowly and calmly - bring much peace and rest to one’s spirit.
One of the most relaxing things in life is the sound of a flowing stream of water… it is something that brings you to a place of calm, where you can focus without any distractions.

In verdant fields, our flesh becomes fresher and in play, we return to our days of vigor. I am also constantly reminded that Reading the Word is a cleansing fountain.
Prov 4:20-22 don't lose sight of my words.Let them penetrate within your heart, for they bring life and radiant health to anyone who discovers their meaning" | Focus onto ChristJesus calls to them saying "Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid." Math 14:27
The Lord never promised we will never see a storm in life (as a matter of fact, He has told us to expect trouble, John 16:33). He has promised that He will be with us in the storm. He will never leave His children alone in the midst of trouble; with perseverance they will overcome (Deut 31:8; James 1:12). This can be immensely comforting to the Christian in a storm. Faith in Christ is never misplaced |
