#Gift Of God

[wiirocku]

Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV) - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

Wisdom and Joy Given to One Who Pleases God

24 There is nothing better for people to do than to eat, drink, and find satisfaction in their work. I saw that even this comes from the hand of God. 25 Who can eat or enjoy themselves without God? 26 God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy to anyone who pleases him. But to the person who continues to sin, he gives the job of gathering and collecting [wealth]. The sinner must turn his wealth over to the person who pleases God. Even this is pointless. [It's like] trying to catch the wind. — Ecclesiastes 2:24-26 | God's Word Translation (GWT) The Holy Bible, God’s Word® Translation Copyright 1995 by God’s Word to the Nations Mission.

February 6, 2024 - Exhortation

"Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the LORD has risen upon you." - Isaiah 60:1 NASB

"Arise and Shine." He says to you, "What is your mountain? Where do you have to go to shine to be seen? What do you have to do? For there is a mobilization He is calling you to that is far greater than you've ever known before. You will advance in the day of His power, so stir yourself up, stir yourself up on your most holy faith and get on your boots and get ready to be a mountain climber.

He is calling His people together to go forward -- even now receive a new anointing of faith, receive a new revelation of His PURPOSE for your life, receive a new anointing of strength, receive a new anointing of grace --  fear not for He is in you. Resist the devil and he will flee, so it's time to "shine."

2 Timothy 1:6 Stir Up The Gift

Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 2 Timothy 1:6 Children, as they are growing up, individually, often have certain abilities that they can do better than most other people. Parents and teachers who recognize those abilities will encourage the child to run with them and build them up and use them to do great things in life. One is…

The Face of Grace

The Face of Grace Romans 11:5-6 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.  And if by grace, then [is it] no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if [it be] of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. Grace has a face.  It is a face of great beauty shaped by the hand of God’s goodness and so pleasant and…

Why Grace is Hard for Many to Accept

God’s eternal salvation is based on a grace paradigm, not a works paradigm. Grace means undeserved or unmerited favor. It is the kindness one person extends to another without any regard for the beauty or worth of the recipient. All are lost sinners, which means no one deserves salvation. Good works do not save; therefore, God’s gift of salvation cannot be earned by human effort. Salvation is…

" A Special Piece in my Heart"

As someone who was exposed to art at a very young age, I always believe that life is mysteriously beautiful like any another form of an art and in every chapter you unfold must make sure to make the most out of it as if you're creating a masterpiece of your life time.

Growing up as a kid , I really love to draw and explore different kinds of art due to the influence of our supportive grandma who would always send us art materials from Switzerland and because of this my parents decided to enroll my sister and I to art classes every summer which literally filled half of my childhood life.

I must say that even after so many years of creating art pieces from sketching faces , places ,moments and doodles on canvas, papers and even tissues , it's really still fascinating to see how can your visualizations and stories come to life.

There's really just something magical about art that keeps me inspired even if when I'm facing hardships in life and this is what drives me to be passionate any in craft that I do and I hope that other people would also view and appreciate art because it's more than just an art . Behind every colors and shapes on the canvas lies a story of an artist who it crafted wholeheartedly . Truly, art will always have a special piece in my heart for my life itself is an art.

But strive for the greater gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.

Grace is never cheap. It is absolutely free to us, but infinitely expensive to God... Anyone who is prone to use grace as a license for irresponsible, sinful behavior, surely does not appreciate the infinite price God paid to give us His grace.

Unstoppable villain, meet immovable agent of friendship!

I was wondering in what circumstances Charlie would just OFFER her soul to Al.

And he would short circuit as all his manipulation plans become unnecessary.

Cause Charlie cares about her friends and if they need help she won’t hesitate.

god. Vivienne really is just. that character. She is taken to the circle so young she does not remember what her parents even looked like and someone had to tell her. She wouldn’t even know if they were telling the truth. She is ruthless, the terror and nightmare of the Orlesian court. She almost weeps when you find the Tranquil skulls in Redcliffe. She hates drop waists. She is harrowed younger than any other mage in living memory. She teaches Bull the steps to the dance of the six candles. He likens her to a Qunari dreadnought that has half the enemies on the ground before he’s even reached the front line. Her accent’s not Orlesian. No Free Marcher can tell where she is from either. Is her original voice another part of herself she cut off? She enchanted a duke within one meeting and they scandalised even Orlesian society. She was good friends with his wife. They possibly fucked too. No can control her. She’s been owned since the moment she was first brought to the Circle. She belongs to no people. There are a dozen leashes around her neck claiming otherwise. She makes fun of an elven god for setting his coattails on fire.  She is on the verge of banishing Cole back to the Fade all the time. She can’t help but grow to care for him at the end despite her best efforts to pretend otherwise. She hates herself for it. She thinks caring makes you weak. During the first conversation you have with her unmasked as a Trevelyan, she begs to know if you also cared about her childhood friend, Lydia. She tries to import illegal fur into Skyhold. Did she kill everything soft within her soul herself or did the Chantry sisters do it for her? She is impossible to prank. Some might say she’s even better than Sera at pranking. She was pulled into the game by the time she was nineteen. She’d faced worse things since she could first remember her dreams. Life has never been fair. One merely needs to be hard enough to survive. The blade at her neck when she lay on the floor of the harrowing chamber was no different from the hunger in her belly as child, a necessary pain that only drove her forward. Maker, was there ever any chance that she did not see cruelty as simply another word for life? Is there any version of her that does not end up surrounded by moral filth?

The Holy Pendant of God is an holy pendant necklace given to Darlyn Paguio by Sister Olive after she nearly ran away from home unintentionally when she was 14. It could heal any sickness or injuries, revive the dead, and bring miracles, hopes, and dreams to come. Furthermore, it allowed the wearer to communicate with the guardian angels through their prayers.
