Sweet Symmetry



   I have the great privilege of working at something I love – and making an income, too. Presently I am editing some wonderful books, and while I do it, I get to encourage the authors. God has been bringing me writers and creative people – and I get so excited. As I help them and cheer them on, I get inspired too – to write, create, paint, think higher…
   
   Today I took a drive to the Grand Mesa to photograph mountain wildflowers, listen to a rushing stream, and smell the pine trees. I can’t…repeat…I cannot (!) feel good sitting in my house when this beauty is so close. So…alone, but really not alone, I go to seek what I may find today – a perfect Colorado Columbine, a reflecting lake, and a seeded flower past it’s prime but perfect in it’s airy symmetry. These remind me that I, too, am perfectly made, a reflection of the Creator, and, wonderfully symmetrical in who I am. Yes. My God is good!
  
   
I bless your spirit today to discover the beauty of your life in God's creation – where you will find your own symmetry!

Not a Silent Partner


Prophetic Art by my
friend, Gary Rowell

“You just love your child and let me take care of the rest.” 
This was a response to my prayer of distress as I wondered how I would deal with a child of mine. It was Papa God’s response. I “heard” it in my head and it was more real than any word you could audibly speak to me. Sure enough, I held my tongue and focused on love and guess what? God showed up and my child was forever changed.
Do you know He is always with you? Holy Spirit – God’s very spirit – walks with you when you are a follower of his Son, Jesus. He wants to partner with you in everything you do – work, fun, ideas, art, relationships, everything. If you ask Him, He is ready to answer. For example, other times He has spoken to me:
"Chris – Get the book done and off your computer and I’ll take it the rest of the way." He did.
“Prepare the field, – just put the pieces together for this event. You don’t have to control it. I will do the rest." And He did.
"Just take your camera with you and watch. I will show you what to shoot." And He always does.
“Take the Prosperous Soul Class" (a class at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry that teaches about Kingdom wealth) "so I can bless you financially and you will know how to handle it.” We did and He is blessing us.
“Pray for that person and I will heal them.”And He did.
“Tell that little girl with the deformed face she is beautiful.”And I did and He showed her His love through me.
God wants to partner with us. We are both important to the outcome. It isn’t about us doing everything. It isn’t about Him being able to do everything without us. He wants us to partner with Him to advance His Kingdom on earth. He will show us and tell us how.

A gift for you!

Below I have a gift link for you that is so beautiful. My friend, Gary Rowell, is a wonderful artist and shared his gift with a beautiful musical artist, C. Denise Young. This is the result. It is so anointed with worship for our Creator...so blessed with the love of God for His children.


We each have creative gifts, because we are made in the image of the Creator of the Universe! What has He put into you? Are you a painter? An inventor? A writer? A photographer? A carpenter? A poet? A musician? What could happen if you gave your gift to God? Might you find another artist to collaborate with? How can you see God blessing it beyond your wildest expectations?


For me - I wrote a book. Gasp! And then took a risk and sent it off to a few publishing companies. One didn't answer. One rejected it. And one loved it and it will be released in 2013!!!! (My gift as a painting artist is evolving...see my handflower above left?)


Please dream with me as you watch this video. Wind down. Simply enjoy what these amazing artists have created. There is a message in it for you. At the end, turn up the volume so you can hear some amazing prophetic words for you. I hope you enjoy this. Please reply with your thoughts! There is a reason you came upon my blog today! Click on the link below and prepare to experience heaven!!!!
