The supreme artist

"Jesus is the supreme artist, more of an artist than all others..

One cannot do better than hold onto the thought of God through everything,

under all circumstances...

at all places, at all times, and try to acquire more knowledge

about Him,

which one can do from the Bible as well as from all other things."

~Vincent van Gogh, 1882

At the beginning

"I now consider myself to be at the beginning of the beginning

of making something serious."

~Vincent van Gogh

Like a spring

"The Lord will guide you always;
You will be like a well-watered garden,

like a spring whose waters never fail."

~Hosea 6:3

Only by God, the Creator

"There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled
by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator,
made known through Jesus."

~Blaise Pascal, Pensées

A Beggar

"A ragamuffin knows he's only a beggar at the door of God's mercy."
~Brennan Manning

More than your mask

Though we're 'strangers',
still I love you,

I love you more than your mask

They said to the olive tree ..

"One day the trees went out to anoint a king for themselves.

They said to the olive tree, ‘Be our king.’

But the olive tree answered, ‘Should I give up my oil, by which both gods and humans are honored, 

to hold sway over the trees?’"

~Judges 9:8,9

No one has ever become poor by giving

"No one has ever become poor by giving."

So, thank you ....

Whoever loves money never has money enough

"Prosperity knits a man to the world.
He feels that he is finding his place in it, while really
it is finding its place in him."

~C.S. Lewis
The Screwtape Letters

 "Whoever loves money never has money enough;
whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income.
This too is meaningless."
~Ecclesiastes 5:10

An eternal house in heaven

"For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed,

we have a building from God,

an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands."

~2 Cor. 5:1

Clothed with splendor and majesty

you are clothed with splendor and majesty."
