Blessed is the Man by *GraceVisions



This is a man of faith, a man who trusts the Lord with his whole being.....

“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence.
They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water.
Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought.
Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit."
Jeremiah 17:7-8 NLT

Give Me Tears by Wesley Duewel

Give me tears in my eyes, loving Lord, I pray!
Give me tears when I intercede.
Give me tears when I kneel at Your throne each day;
Give me tears when I learn to plead.

Pierced Lord, break this cold, stony heart of mine;
Melt my heart with Your holy fire!
Flood my soul with the passion of love divine;
May I hunger with Your desire.

Take the callousness all from my heart again
Till I hunger and thirst and yearn,
Till the longings for souls of sin-ruined men
All-consuming within me burn.

Fill my heart with your tears; there unveil Your cross
Till all else of this world has died,
Till all else in my life I shall count but loss,
Save the cross of the Crucified.

May my heart be a crucified heart alway
That it bleed for the souls of men.
May the burden for souls melt my soul each day
Till I share Your travail again.

Give me tears when I preach of Your dying love;
Give me tears when I plead with men.
Give me tears as I point to Your throne above;
Love of God, melt my heart again.

-Wesley Duewel

The Blessings Of Brokenness by Alison Burrow

"This is a symbolic picture. The dark post in the middle is me and the cracks in the post represent times of brokenness and pain in my life. The ribbon of colour wrapping around me is "Father, Son, Holy Spirit" representing His presence with me during those times. If you look closely between the cracks you will see a mosaic of colour with shooting colours coming from them. These two things represents the miracles and lessons I can learn if I embrace my brokenness and allow God to teach me through those times."

Light of the World by Alison Burrow

"This picture represents Jesus Christ as the Light of the World. If you look carefully, you will see a cross with a candle inside. The candle represents Jesus as the Light of the World. The candle has what appears to be blue wings in it... this represents the Holy Spirit. Outside the Cross you will see many repeating lines. These represent the Father."

"Out of each point of the cross you will notice rushing colours and shapes. These represent the infinite ways in which the Cross works in our lives. I have attempted to display, in colour and form, the power of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ."
