A Life-changing Encounter

By Hazel Holland

As I painted this watercolor today it reminded me of the life-changing encounter we may all experience with the living Christ.  When we do, He makes us realize that we have been destined and appointed to live unselfish and love-filled lives for the praise of His glory.  

Our destiny in Him is never to remain a captive, crippled by fear, but to be transformed into His image.  He has given us wings to fly so that we are free to love and forgive others as He has loved and forgiven us. 

As the light of His love continues to shine in our hearts, we see the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.  And we are compelled by His Spirit to declare the glory of the risen Christ, and the amazing gospel of His grace for all people everywhere. (2 Corinthians 4:6) ♥
