Ecclesiastes 3:1 "To everything there is a season. A time for every purpose under Heaven."

King Solomon said there would be days of sadness and days of happiness, tears and joy, our souls are full of every emotion given to mankind. I thank the Lord for He came to heal the brokenhearted and over time our hearts will be healed (Luke 4:18). All of us need to ask the Lord for His peace in our hearts and minds to get through each day (Philippians 4:6-7). Along with the most important words are in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Psalm 119:105 Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my pathway in life. I will share with you my heartfelt belief. Every artist dips his brush into his very soul, and paints from the inspiration of the moment. In doing so, gives thanks to the One who gave it! He almighty God shares His glory with no one. I am the brush in my Master's hand. May He use me in the world of art, for His Glory.

In Christ's name,
