"Only Life Changes"

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

-John 3:3

But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD. And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

Jonah 2:9-10

Without love we are nothing.

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
1 Peter 4:8

‘Hosea’s Reconciliation with His Wife’

Hosea 3:1-5 NIV:  The Lord said to me, “Go, show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another man and is an adulteress. Love her as the Lord loves the Israelites, though they turn to other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes.”

 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and about a homer and a lethek of barley.  Then I told her, “You are to live with me many days; you must not be a prostitute or be intimate with any man, and I will behave the same way toward you.” For the Israelites will live many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred stones, without ephod or household gods.  Afterward the Israelites will return and seek the Lord their God and David their king. They will come trembling to the Lord and to his blessings in the last days.

Your descendants will be as many as the dust of the earth. They will go to the west and to the east. They will go to the north and to the south. Through you and your descendants I will bless all the families of people on the earth. I am with you. I will take care of you wherever you go. I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I promised to do for you.’ Jacob woke from his sleep. He thought, ‘The Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.’ Jacob was afraid. He said, ‘How great this place is! This must be the house of God. This is the gate of heaven.’
Genesis 28:14-17 EASY

Trusting God leads to confidence.

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation. Isaiah 12:2

And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD’S, and he will give you into our hands.

1 Samuel 17:47

Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave? Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in? For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters. For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

Job 3:20-26

Though it is a natural human trait, bitterness can and should be worked through and overcome.

Now also when I am old and grey-headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to everyone that is to come. Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, who hast done great things: O God, who is like unto thee! Thou, which hast shewed me great and sore troubles, shalt quicken me again, and shalt bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
Thou shalt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side. Psalms 71:18-21

God’s sandpaper people of yesterday, can be His masterpiece today.
Just saying.

This child that gave up their drawing, because they thought it was not good enough. Critiquing
this;

I see a cross on the ground, whereas Christ died for our sins. I see the other two crosses on a hill.
I see people standing around the cross. I see a heart in between the cross on the ground and the two still standing. Between the two could be the entrance to the tomb. the white lightening over the tomb, could be when Jesus rose from the dead. I see a 4 at the top of the cross on the ground. That represents, the Father, Son, Holy Spirit and you or me in eternity.
Art is amazing.
