All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

WWJD

What are the dangers of correcting an unbeliever, and does it really bring them into the family of God by doing this? Did Jesus Ever Condemn A Unbeliever? Lastly, what does the Bible say about how we are to approach an unbeliever?

It's not stupid. I think it's beautiful.

God's signature and fingerprints are every where in nature.

Here is a picture of a dogwood flower:

The shape of a cross, the crown of thorns, the blood where His hands and feet and head were ... I remember reading the legend of the dogwood tree (a nice poem but probably not true as far as what wood the cross was made of) when I was a child and it inspired my poem. Nature is revelation.

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. Romans 1:20, NIV.

My favorite time of year is when my Dogwood blooms. It's a reminder of Christ's expense for my freedom. And it's just a beautiful tree.

Amanda,

This is a very good poem. I think you should share and write more:)

I will have to share some of mine someday, although I have a very

interesting way of thinking. Maybe though, someday.

I also appreciate how you credit God for your work. Sometimes when I

write poems and songs...or even paint...Its almost like I am not doing

the work. People laugh when I tell them the paint brush does all the

work, and I'm just the one on the other end trying to make sense of

what just happened lol. Below is the first painting I ever did. I was

trying to draw the Lion of Judah. I also paint bricks and rocks when I

am bored..weird I know..

It is God, and he is using you:)

Not weird. Just self expression. I liked the third one the best. I am not an artist. Most of what I write as far as poetry goes now is pretty dark and not about God anymore. I have written alot of poetry. I had several Christian poems like that one published in a couple of different magazines besides those appearing in Decision. I haven't submitted anything for publication anywhere for many, many years. Everything is dark now anyway. Like this one. I don't have that light anymore that is in the other poem ... that hope.

She waits

On the rocks

By the sea

Only she

All alone

With the sea

And it splashes below

And the wet sand oozes

Between her toes

And the waves roll

Over the smooth rocks

And the sea looks red

Like a heart

Breaking, breaking

And there are tears in her eyes

To show how much she cares.

Sister, I like it. I read it and it caused me to smile(why's that good? Because I usually don't have a genuine smile).

I really like how you gave God credit. That shows great character and a humble spirit. :o)

I think I would call the poem that I shared above Shipwreck.

I think this painting goes with it and it is called After the Hurricane Shipwreck. I was thinking of buying this painting. I found it online. I think people who can paint are very gifted and very intelligent.
