ORIGINAL ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER©

The softness of this pastel makes me think of God’s tender mercy. He is usually seen as all powerful, full of strength and might, unmovable. He is all those things, but His gentleness is another gift He gives us. When tears fall – when problems seem insurmountable – when hope is diminished – when life hangs on a single thread – we need that quiet voice to comfort us – that is when we need His grace, His loving hands and His comforting spirit. Today, cuddle into that soft side. Rely on His tenderness. Let Him carry your load.

I need to be wrapped in the protection of God’s holy wings.

Each pinion gently lays over me – cuddling and nurturing.

The softness and strength are overwhelming.

He breathes His presence upon me and gives me life.

He speaks and I am comforted.

His touch is gentle yet full of power and strength.

His steadfastness feeds me – nourishes my soul – guards me from all evil.

His love for me is unfailing.  A love so great that it’s indescribable.

His tenderness is equal to His might.

I will never be alone as long as He is with me.

Be in my heart – my mind – my understanding.

Be with me in life so that I will know you fully when I meet you after death.

THANK YOU, JESUS, FOR ANOTHER DAY!
