Only Believe

Sometimes well meaning people can speak the most unhopeful things to you.  Sometimes not so well meaning people can speak the most unhopeful things to you.

Either way, it can be hard to believe in whatever it is that you were hoping for.

Do you know the story about Jairus and his daughter?

Well, he went to Jesus because his daughter was very ill.  The Bible says that Jairus "fell at Jesus' feet and besought Him to come to his house'.  Jairus wanted Jesus to heal his daughter.

And then those people came.

They could have been well-meaning.

But, basically, those people said that you have no reason to hope any further.

When Jesus heard those people speaking to Jairus, He had two words for Jairus.

As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe. -Mark 5:36

My Hand Lettering of a Bible Verse

Do you ever use "hand lettering" or use "hand type"?

Hand lettering and Hand type are fancy writing styles.  I love to write period so hand letting is like a way to just love writing more.

I tell you the secret to hand lettering calligraphy style here.

Sometimes when I read Bible verses, I want to write the summation of the verse  Ideally I use hand lettering of a Bible verse to hang around the house.  Yes, I need constant reminders of God, His goodness and His ways.

So here I share a verse that I wrote one day.

God is all these things to me.  He's kind to me.  He forgives me and He is tenderhearted to me.  I love Him for that.

So yeah, I need a reminder to be all these things to others.  ...because real people have real feelings that get hurt for real and this little verse is a reminder that other people need kindness, forgiving and tenderheartedness. ...from somebody.

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. -Ephesians 4:32

Every thing

Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord. -Psalm 150:6
...because I am surely tryna Praise Him with my pen!!

While scrolling through Instagram,  I saw a beautiful calligraphy writing that said "Everything".

'twas very pretty.

Since I am out waiting on my daughter,  I decided to try and write it myself.  

Then I thought hey, might as well use it for my 31 Days of Drawing His Word.

Day 13 - Love. Do good. Pray.

I doodled these words awhile back during worship after reading this verse:

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; -Matthew 5:44

Day 4 - Ask, Seek, and Knock

This verse is something that I love about God.

God makes life simple.

This verse is about as simple as it gets.

Just ask.

Just knock.

Just look.

Simple as that.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: -Matthew 7:7
