The Perfect Gift ~ wfw

The other day I was rummaging through some old pictures in an attempt to locate something to complete a “present” that I’m working on but I couldn’t find what I was looking for. Ever been there. Up, down, in, and out. I could NOT find it.

Frustration was getting the best of me when this watercolor fell out of a stack of pictures.

Humbled I was.

This season isn’t about the “perfect gift.” It’s about THE gift.

In all their wildest imaginations could they have imagined it “this” way?

I doubt it. We have the “rest of the story,” and we find ourselves in states of unbelief.

Believing in God. Believing God.

He’s always done what He said He was going to do. He’s faithful like that.

He did it so we, the broken, could be set free.

All He hopes is that we’ll believe that and act accordingly.

Welcome to WFW!

There are very few rules, in fact the beauty of this ministry is the creative expression that God reveals Himself thorough. We marvel at the creativity that participants post with this meme. We encourage the ” post behind the picture,” or the reflections that many of the participants share. We ask that non-biblical resources not be used.

WFW is not about books, authors, artists.. it’s about God and HIS WORD ONLY. WFW is about celebrating the gift of creativity through God’s Word.

    Lori, the image is beautiful — Isaiah is beautiful. I treausre those prophecies, and I treasure that God stepped into a point in time to become light to us in such an unexpected way. I’m so thankful for His Word that makes it clear and for the time which I was born . . . because I wonder if I would have recognized it without the rest of the story.
