"Godly love endures beyond life's hurts by pulling us relentlessly toward the never-diminishing care of the Father."

oil pastel on canvasetteI'm not eager for your wounds,
But I know they are faithful.
Putting self to death
And my heart full-blown will live again
Like a tulip in the doorway of your house.

Beautiful, Jodi, the words and the painting both. Yes, I too am so grateful for His relentless love...
We sang the hymn, "Lift High the Cross," on Sunday, and I'm always struck by the line: "Oh Lord, once lifted on that glorious tree..."
Glorious? I feel the same way about Good Friday--the day of ugliness and violence that was oh, so good in God's crazy, upside-down, paradoxical kingdom.
Love seeing your art. Always. Love. It.
i always feel fed when i visit here.
I love the poem and the painting.
I love your header too. SO cute!!
"...like a tulip in the doorway of your house." What wonderful imagery! And, with you, I'm so grateful for God's relentless love.

Such beauty here.
Him.
His life.
His love.
Through you,
Your words,
Your works,
Your ways.
I love you, {dear J~Bee},
And miss you.
And I'm thinking of you
And praying, each day
"His {moment-by-moment}
Never-diminishing care" xo
So perfect,
Your poem, and painting.
So good of you to share,
Your heart
And the preciousness it holds.
The eyes are so expressive. And I love this, "Like a tulip in the doorway of your house."
