Your Hand in Mine

October 7, 2001, One evening as I tried to sleep, words kept swimming through my head. I knew I needed to arise and write it down. I knew by morning the words would be gone if I delayed. I sat down and wrote this little poem for an artist friend of mine, Sandy W. I would like to share it with you, so that the next time you have a paint brush or chalk in hand, you will remember the words written; because I am sure it pertains to all who try to put a picture together to explain what words can't tell.

I come to you in the wee hours of the morning and gently brush the brows so dear...I breath upon your face, and whispers from Me, you hear.
I call to you, arise My child, there's much work to be done...Together, as we work today, for the souls that must be won.
I will paint for you a picture, set it deep within your mind... Together we will express the scene, it will touch the hearts of those it finds.
You will put My thoughts on canvas. I will guide you each step of the way... You will paint for them a picture, that will explain the things that are hard to say.
You will show My many emotions, My powers, and My strengths...You will show the things that I can do, I had gone to ultimate lengths.
I had paid the price for all who sinned, My body shows the signs... I have scars to prove My love for them, yet, their uncertainty still binds.
You must paint for them a picture, something for them to see... It will help for them to understand...You must draw them near to Me.
I will take your fragile hand in Mine, I will guide you with such skill... You will touch the hearts of those I love, you will work within my will.
Each and every brush stroke that is made, each color that you use... will be the way I design it, it will be just what I choose.
Remember, I will have your hand in Mine, I will guide you each step of the way...Together, we will accomplish much. You will show, what words can't say.
My child, you have let Me work through you, a willing vessel, that you are... Your works will be appreciated by My other children, near and far.
I will comfort you, I will love you, I will always be at your side...I will pour out My many blessings to you, the desires of your heart, I will not hide.
With Me in your heart and a paintbrush in your hand, we will paint a picture for all to see...It will show the world how much I care, and how I want them drawn to me. svs 2001
