"Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?"
This is what one of the disciples asked when
Jesus wanted to feed 5,000 people.
I am sure that most of us would have asked
the very same thing?
Whaaat? You expect us to feed all these people?
Why not send them home?
There's this boy with a measly 2 fishes
and some bread.
How many can this feed?
Sometimes we ask the same thing
when our money situation is low.
But God's economy is different from ours.
If we need food or lack money,
we should GIVE it away!
If we need love,
we should GIVE it away!
If we need time,
we should GIVE it away!
Give it away to God and God's people!
Give food to the hungry.
Give love to the prisoners.
Give time for prayer and serving.
God does not ration His gifts!
He didn't then
and He won't start now!
I never lacked food but we did
run out of money when we were building our house.
I was reading Streams in the Desert
and I remember a line which said,
God won't come late.
And He didn't.
The money came and
we were able to finish our house!

Beautiful illustrations of the scriptures, Patsy. Your paintings bring the Word to life. Thank you for faithfully putting it out there! God bless you. And choosing Karen makes me so happy. Karen is one of the Barnabas people, always encouraging. So glad you are honoring her this week.
ReplyDeleteYour gift(God given)but nourished by you is to really touch people's hearts. Thank you again for my beautiful ATC that you sent.
ReplyDeleteReally wonderful words about giving....and lovely paintings as always. Happy PPF xox
ReplyDeletea very important reminder about giving - beautiful work. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteI sure love your art!
ReplyDeleteGod is NEVER late - He always arrives right on time! We have similar stories:) "Give and it will come back to you, pressed down, shaken together, running over" - it took me a long time to give without looking for the running over. Now - the giving - His kind of giving - it sparks my soul and makes it just burst with shine - and life - His kind of life - and love:)
ReplyDeleteI love pictures with writing - and your art takes your ideas even further:) simply beautiful!
Really beautiful.

ReplyDeletelovely illustrations to this scripture. Beautifully put.
ReplyDeletePraising God for provisions! I love the colors you used in the art. Scripture makes them come to life.
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful message... give it away!! He will meet us in our needs! thank you, patsy!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful paintings - and beautiful message as well. I have learned (and hope it sticks - because when tough times come I seem to need reminders) that God is never late and when He does show up it's more than we can imagine. HPPF
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful - I love your work - so rich in perception and thought!

He did indeed give it all away. Bowed down in adoration. Love your portrayal of ... what might be Mary Magdalen serving
