I will follow Jesus



Revelation 21:23 (KJV) says, 
“And the city has no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: 
for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.”

I'll follow, I'll follow
I'll follow Jesus everyday, all the way
I'll follow by his grace
I'll follow to the land of everlasting day

This was the song I sang when I painted this. 
It just stuck with me, when I started to paint, thinking that she is going somewhere, 
following the Light of her life.

Who is the Light of your life?

Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, 
I am the light of the world: he that followeth me 
shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
John 8:12 KJV

To follow Jesus was the most important and best decision of my life. 
There is no turning back. Off course the road is not always easy, 
as depicted in my painting, I painted the soil rocky. 
In Gr 8 I had a school dairy which I loved to decorate with pictures, memes, 
almost like a scrapbook. Other girls loved to page through my diary as it was so 
interesting and colourful. One meme read "If He leads you on a rocky road, 
He will supply sturdy shoes". They asked me what it meant, all confused. 
As young girl I could not explain in detail, although I kind of knew. 


Today I know that Jesus will not lead where you cannot follow. 
He promise in his Word to make straight and plain your path. Proverbs 3:6.

Verlustig jou in die Here


'n Rein Hart






In die hart is die oorsprong van wat ons dink,
se of doen (Matt 15:18-19)
Die hart is uiters belangrik vir God.
Hy gee om wat ons is in die mees
privaatste dele van ons menswees en lewens.
Jesus het gekom sodat ons vuil harte gereinig
kon word, want slegs die
rein van hart sal God sien (Matt 5:8)
Soos die Psalmis kan jy God vra om
vir jou ‘n rein hart te skep. (Ps 51:12)
Jesus het alreeds aan die Kruis gesterf vir die
reinigingswerk, al wat Hy vra is jou hart.

💙

Skep vir my 'n rein hart, o God,
en gee my n vaste gees om U wil te doen.
Hou my standvastig in U wee.
Suiwer my binneste, o Heer.
Ek maak my hartsbesluit vas om U my wandel
te hou na U Woord.
Dan sal ek juig en bly wees in U,
en uitsien na die dag wat ek U sal sien.
