Reminders of God’s Goodness

***Quick preface, what you about are to read is written in Shannon language, which is a strange way my words mixed around are currently, due to an undiagnosed disease process which has been affecting me for over a year, and has entirely confused my words since March this year of. If you have the patience, you can it decipher, it just…is a bit odd haha. And with that explanation, let’s start.

I’ve never been one to write quotes or things my art on. The reason this for is simply that I don’t have any special skill handwriting in. But over the past six months I have felt that needing am reminders right in front my face of of God’s love and mercy, providence and grace. So I started to some quotes and Bible verses place on my art and print them out to hang in my room. Having these reminders of His goodness have been a blessing. I thought maybe such a reminder might a blessing be to you to. So here are some of my favorites.

This quote by George MacDonald goes a long way in reminding me that just existing here on earth a true and marvelous gift is. What a wonder He saw fit to give me life that I might experience Him here on earth, and His amazing creation.

The fact that such a God, with all His whole universe to oversee should notice take my suffering of and care about it, that is a miracle.

I love this. Sometimes I can’t even speak, I’m not able to say a word. Yet He hears each silent cry…He’s closer than I can even understand.

Some moments not very easy are…I can’t always remember where I am or what is happening around me. Having this on the wall across me from has calmed me many times. One of Christ’s charges His disciples to as He prepared them for His leaving, He promised that He send them would the Holy Spirit, who teach them would about Him and His Words, and be a messenger from the Father always within us. His children have nothing to fear, for His Helper is always present us with, no matter how confused or lost we feeling are.

God made me sick. He sovereignly gave in my life these things. I may not understanding be of every moment why I am this way…why each specific trial given has been to me. But I know even if I don’t the exact reason ever know, I know the reason that underneath it all is, for His glory, that His name might be honored. I’m so grateful that He given me has the opportunity to come to know Him better through all this of, even though I know I so little knowledge have compared to all there is to know of Him. I get to see Him in my scars.

So, that is what I wanted to tell you all these art pieces about. It’s an encouragement been to me, so I thought it might to you as well. God gives His children trials that very big are sometimes, can make us feel lost and alone, but He always reminders gives in little ways that we never alone or lost are. Praise be His name. Soli Deo Gloria friends.

(I’ll see you again soon with more art and other fun stuff—less serious next time haha. Thanks for reading!)
