  • Such simple words and yet so true and profound. Monica

  • Thanks, Ryan. I've come back to this post several times just because of the challenge it has been to me. The verse and graphic combine to create a powerful reminder to the true priorites in life. Somehow a pictoral representation gives a whole new depth to words often passed over for their familiarity.

    Have you ever considered making such graphic/verse combinations for desktop wallpaper? I know many who would be blessed to find something like that!

    Keep using your talent for the Lord!

    Blessings on your upcoming trip!

  • Hi Andrea,
    You are welcome, but give the praise to God! Yes, I have considered doing desktop wallpapers, but I have not for several reasons. Firstly, lack of time, secondly, there are others who have way more talent than I do, (aSourceOfJoy, for example) and thirdly, lack of good graphics. I could use my own pictures, but sometimes a painting can speak in softer tones than a picture could... Anyhow, just some thoughts. Feel free to tell me that these are just excuses! :-)

    God Bless!

  • Hi there! I followed a link here from Andrea Herrlinger's blog and I too was blessed by this graphic and the words with it. These kinds of reminders are needed! I think of Psalm 138:6 - "Though the Lord be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off."

  • Hey, Shelly!
    It's good to hear from you again! Yes, humility is a very important asset to the Christian... And one that is lacking way too much in my life. The more I pray for humility, it seems like the more pride is exposed... I just marvel at how Jesus walked this earth in complete humility, and yet he had so much to be "proud" of. What an example!

    God Bless!
