I love how the
apostle Paul wrote to encourage us to never become weary in doing good…
“Let us not become weary in doing
good…” Galatians 6:9
He was
persecuted and imprisoned, yet he never despaired or wearied in fighting the good
fight.
Often my heart
becomes weary and I feel discouraged in my walk of faith and the path the Lord
has given my feet to tread…
“Even youths grow tired and
weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will
renew their strength.” Isaiah 40:31
I am weak and
tire easily; my faith wavers and my wings begin to lose their strength to soar…
But I believe my
cries do not go unnoticed by my Saviour…
He sees how desperate I am for Him to draw me closer to Himself and
restore my ability to see through the rain.
When I feel like
I just can’t take one step further, He comes and breathes life into my soul…
…maybe through
something I read, other times a song of praise…
Sometimes He sends a fellow sinner redeemed by grace, to reach out and pour water into my thirsty soul!
Sometimes He sends a fellow sinner redeemed by grace, to reach out and pour water into my thirsty soul!
“I lift my eyes to the hills –
where does my help come from? My help
comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2
It is during times
such as these that I long for a light to lead me back to the Path of Life...
I am frail and
need the strength of the Lord with every step I take.
“Blessed is the man who
perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the
crown of life that God promised to those who love him.” James 1:12
And I love how
He sends someone – or something - to be His hand, speaking words of hope and
life and transforming a discouraged heart into an encouraged one…
~ In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for
you will answer me. Psalm 86:7 ~

This is gorgeous!! And what's interesting is, I got to see the original of this painting by Charles Curran at the Frick Art Museum in Pittsburgh, about 5 months or so ago. It is so much more unbelievable in person. Thanks for reminding me about his work.
Ih my! That is must have been magical! I love Charles Curran's work!
Blessings!
