"Born to Serve" is in the Family Heirloom Collection
Inspired Brushstrokes
Giving viewers permission to see what stirs their heart, artists are willingly vulnerable. You'll discover that faith, relationships, and service is what drives my passion. Colossians 3:23 motivates me to, "Work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people." You'll see where God has opened the eyes of my heart; where challenges have matured my faith; and where God's Word deepens my relationships. From Landscapes to Story-Paintings, you'll find nuggets of truth, encouraging words of faith, and hidden treasures to inspire you. Be inspired by the visual records of life experiences that are driven by biblical principals.
Before reading his Bible, D. L. Moody prayed that the words would leap off the pages into his heart. What a wonderful prayer to borrow as you study your Bible. It's my prayer that you take time to think about the stories on the Family Heirloom Page. Though they are inspired by some precious people, the goal is to encourage you in the Lord. Ask God to prepare your heart and believe that you will receive a Word from Him.
There hasn't been much time for painting since I started transporting our Marine and Air Force Recruits. I've recognized a pattern where Satan tests me on the very thing I share with them. These experiences consistently prove one thing ...I'm not an expert in what I share. Thank God He doesn't need experts to serve Him. Each experience is an opportunity to encourage one another to LOOK UP and PRAY. You may not have the ability to literally LOOK UP if a Drill Sergeant is screaming in your face, but IN YOUR HEART AND MIND YOU CAN....LOOK UP. ASK GOD how to respond to this situation. What does He want to teach you? He will speak to you through His Word. Scriptures like James 1:19 will come to mind, "Be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to get angry." Philippians 4:13 will remind you, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Don't dwell on the problem. Trust God to fight your battles for you and through you. The power of God's Spirit will equip you to respond to trials, difficult people and hard times in a way that bring Him Glory.
Also, be encourage to recognize the devil's lies (thoughts that are negative and are not pure). Be ready at all times to stand firm, dressed for battle with the full Armor of God because the "Master Distracter" (Satan) will shoot his fiery darts when you least expect it. Speak God's Word, Beloved. He will fight your battles for you in the same way He did every other Bible character. Before trouble comes, submit yourself to the Lord. Then, when trouble arrives, you can resist the Devil and he will have to go James 4: 6-8. I visualize God's Armor to be like a tin roof, covering me to protect me from the storms of life. And Satan's fiery darts are like a raindrop...ping, ping. I can hear them threatening to destroy me, but he can't touch me. If you are a Follower of Christ, your vessel and and your battle belongs to the Lord. Stand firm and trust Him. God will fight your battle for you, IF you let Him. Let go and let God have control over ever area of your life.
It is my hope and prayer that my work increases a desire to develop your personal relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Be encouraged that God uses each of our gifts and experiences to align our hearts and minds to LOOK UP....and focus on Him, Joyce Girgenti
