On Holiness: Subtle CrossesOn Holiness: Subtle Crosses

We have to be careful of how we approach holiness and how we better ourselves in Christ Jesus. Indeed we are to 'pick up our crosses and follow Him,' but how often is it that we chase holiness as if we know what is best? For Paul says that "God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with [that] trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it" (1 Cor 10:13). Indeed James also says "Each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire" (James 1:14).

What does this mean? Simply this: even our desire for holiness can be a cause of temptation and s

CandlelightClose my eyes
Let the rain wash off these painted lies
As thunder signifies
The war over this candle heart

Daughter cries
Angelic mourning as innocence dies
A new soul shall rise
Who I am, who I was, apart

[Chorus]
As I look on my heart begins to shine
A wick of faith has sparked this holy candlelight
Father, I cry to You, forever now I belong to You
Even in my chosen death You kept me alive
Candlelight

When the poison of fear paralyzed
And my choices left me back to die
And all I could do was say goodbye...

Close my eyes
Let the rain wash off these painted lies
As thunder signifies
The war over this candle heart

To Forgive The Unforgivableby ~Tahnja

Traditional Art / Paintings / Portraits

Acrylic on flat sheet of canvas.

Standard A4 size.

To forgive the unforgivable...that was not just a standard Jesus set for us all, it was a call to be just like Him, for He said that unless we forgive, we shall not be forgiven.

Pope John Paul II forgave the man who tried to kill him. I love him so much.

Beautiful artwork, and a wonderful point. Many people think that some people are undeserving of forgiveness. The truth is we are all undeserving of forgiveness, but God offers it to all.
