Good day, people! Another beautiful day that God has given us to enjoy.
As promised on my earlier post, I will share my thoughts on why I have decided to do more on wood crafts with christian messages, T-shirts with bible verses, or even peripherals such as mugs & etc. Firstly, I always admire people on pulpit that share a wonderful and well-crafted sermon or bible teachings. Something that is not for everyone, certainly, not for me. That person, besides being charismatic, needs the skills to arouse interests and captivate attention from the audience with its messages. Lot of time and preparations for materials and of course, the presence of our Grand Teacher, God, Holy Spirit, to talk about the wonderful person Jesus Christ. Over and above, the person needs to be bold and not stage fright to fumble his way through the torturous hours for his listeners. I am that person.
Therefore, if you are not cut out for that, do other thing that will still have the same impact on mass audience and captivation. That is the reason why I decided at this part of my life journey to start this adventure. God has given me talents on Arts and Designs, why not use it for HIS glory. Loving arts and designs since I was a kid, spent most of my adult and working life doing what I love. Saw God’s blessing and favors in my career. Winning awards and recognition for the job that I loved. Now, I really want and hope that I can share the message of salvation, the Father’s Love for the world and a savior who took our place on the cross. What can be the better way to do it?
Combining the passion of one’s with the desire to do something for God, I guessed this is the way to go. Tell me otherwise. Yea, there are thousand of ways to do and serve God in the world but I still think this is the one for me. I am not rejecting other ways but my strong belief is that one can only do well if he or she has the passion on the things, subjects or works.
Creating and designing with the Word of God needs my partner, God the Holy Spirit, before anything can be satisfactory to the senses. It must carry the essence of the message and the intention of the designer, to the audience, be it to inspires, saves, heals and restores. That needs skills. It can be humorous but when it needs to be poignant, with regards to one’s salvation, it must be uncompromising. That needs skills and talents, not easy to manage. That is why I have chosen my business partner carefully. With God on my side, who can be against me? Romans 8 :31
Writing is not for me but I am amazed that I wrote this much content to share my thoughts and hopes for the journey that I have embarked. Guessed, no looking back as in the old hymn, ” I have decided to follow Jesus”, which many my of generation can relate to. Hope it will bless and enrich the recipients with the messages on my created crafts.
Follow my pinterest too, as I will add my designs and collections on this platform of social media to broaden the reach. Happy viewing and see you people next time.
Shalom!
