Description
I decided that I would try using pastels to draw a cartoon picture for my three year old grandson. Then I thought that he might enjoy receiving a new picture in the mail from me each week as a reminder of how much I love him. So this is my first attempt to try at do a kid picture.
However, I never expected that drawing this picture for my grandson would bring me such unexpected joy! I really was not expecting it to bring out the playful child in me, but it did. I just wanted him to get frequent reminders of how much he's loved.
And then God's Spirit began to speak to my heart about how drawing pictures like this for my grandson can bring about further healing of my childhood memories.
Have you received a "picture" lately of how much you're loved by your Father? If you have, go share it with someone who needs to know how much He loves them, too. If you haven't, ask God to give you a fresh picture of His heart of love... not just for yourself, but for someone who may need to be touched by Him through you.
You know... God sends us "love pictures" all the time. But they don't usually come in the way we expect them... So let's open up our hearts to His joy today.♥
