Sharing the Gift

God's Creation and Word

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it."
-- John 1: 1-5

The Glory of God

How amazing are the things we see in our world? Sometimes we spend too much time working, worrying about our problems or just staying busy that we fail to stop and look at the incredible world in which we live. The framework for our incredible world was set in motion a very long time ago, but the beauty and incredible architecture are still bearing fruit to us today.

God's Greatest Gift

Sacred scripture, inspired by God, has been handed down for thousands of years and continues to have a great impact on us and the world we live in. It is truly amazing that text two thousand or more years old can still be so relevant to the world we live in today. The greatest gift bestowed upon man by God, was providing the guidance to do His will - the Word.

Sharing the Gift and the Glory

God's Creation and Word is bringing together a small part of God's Word, using scripture, and God's Glory, using images of the world we live in today. The inspiration for each piece, a reflection or other such description will be provided herein in the hope that the sharing will continue to inspire others.

Why Does It Happen?

Weekly Reflections - August 2009

I will announce the name of the Lord. Praise God because He is great! He is like a rock; what He does is perfect, and He is always fair. He is a faithful God who does no wrong, who is right and fair.
Deuteronomy 32:3-4

You Will Find Rest in Me When you see the rain comes down does it make you sad or does it make you happy? You may say it all depends if I have an outdoor plan that day. Okay, that’s fair, all of us see it different and sometimes we make the weather dictate the kind of day we’re going to have. I guess I see it different most especially lately that I’ve been trying to live to the fullest everyday, meaning I’m pretty open to what life brings my way with or without all those things that we long for in the world. I’m more appreciative of all that I have with family, loved ones, my health, all I have through the grace and goodness of God. With a series of experiences that my family have encountered the past several months, and I will witness them to you later on in God’s time all for His glory I’m sure, I’m learning to be more open minded on what comes my way, learning and seeing everything in a positive way, even if in human ways they may seem a little tough to bear at times. They all happened because God is good to us and He is doing His works in our lives and I see it more and more clearly as I go through the molding process. He continues to refine all of us everyday, just like a blacksmith who places his iron craft on fire until the metal is somewhat more flexible, and then pounding on it with his hammer to get rid of all the bubbles and all the impurity out of the metal molding it to a desired shape to last forever.

So, next time the rain comes, or the storm, or things that tend to ruin your days sometimes, have appreciation for it instead for God is doing His works, all have its own purpose that contribute to a greater world and life of greatness. Enjoy the ride though it may feel bumpy at times but we must have faith that in His time we will reap the reward of all of our troubles.

Jesus has the power of God, by which He has given everything we need to live and to serve God. We have these things because we know Him. Jesus called us by His glory and goodness. Through these He gave us the very great and precious promises. With these gifts you can share in being like God, and the world will not ruin you with its evil desires.
2 Peter 1:3-4

God began doing a good work in you, and I am sure He will continue it until it is finished when Jesus Christ comes again.
Philippians 1:6

May you open your hearts and minds to God’s goodness and all His works and all His ways.

General Message from Artist

I felt that God spoke to me in my heart. He says, “My creation is no less than perfect if everyone will learn how to see and appreciate it, your guide is in the book of life.” I must be obedient to this message. Ever since, I’ve been moved to truly see and appreciate His wonderful creation and words which truly give me peace. It’s not like I didn’t know how to compose properly when I shoot pictures nor didn’t know how to organize and gather the proper elements when creating an image. I just have a true conviction and the passion using my God given gift to capture the beauty of His love and creation in our natural environment.

We all are given a special gift, planted in each of us when He created us. Each are special and was meant to be used for His glory and to build His kingdom. Analyze your strength and find that special gift within you. Develop it and use it for the glory of God and you will be rewarded.

Appreciate the sunshine, all that surrounds you, the beautiful environment that God has given us which meant to give us comfort if we learn to appreciate it. All material possessions can all be gone tomorrow but the trees, the sunshine, and the free air we breathe, our loved one, all came from God will always be with us. Focus on loving God and family and do your very BEST with the given talent and undertaking His given you and He will do the rest!
