I acknowledge with gratitude the creative Giftings of the here unknown and unacknowledged photographer.
We, who acknowledge our crucified and RISEN Saviour
Jesus Christ are called to be REFLECTIONS of Him.
He is more than Beauty and Love – He is Holy, Righteous, and Pure.
He is in and through the beauty and essence of this whole world He created.
God the Holy Spirit came to sanctify and make us ‘reflections” of the SON.
Frail, broken aging bodies of mortality will fall away
BUT,,,,,,,,
The Spirit Who came to live inside Christian believers is ever working to perfect these redeemed children into the Son’s Image spiritually to prepare them for Heaven. We are already clothed externally by the shed blood of the Saviour/Lamb.
We must journey onwards knowing in our own strength it would be impossible to ever reflect the HOLY and DIVINE
Our journey forward must be one of CONFESSION REPENTANCE And FORGIVENESS
This will then open wide the Door to an abundance of Christ-Life in these days of disbelief and turmoil.
We have our HANDBOOK …The WORD …and KNOW unquestionably……. HE IS LORD GOD ALMIGHTY and HIS KINGDOM will Come
. Have a beautiful day and an overcoming and fulfilling week ACCEPT and Give Divine LOVE to all you meet. IN his NAME a-men.
I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions.
I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
