Tell Your Heart to Beat Again...

I dare you to decipher what this means! Take your time... :P

(I did hear a couple of versions already, so I am bracing myself for more..)


For those of you who are wondering, "What in the world was she thinking??"…

 Read on..

 

As mentioned in my profile, I enjoy drawing pictures from song lyrics, Bible verses, Quotes from books etc.. This particular Abstract Art was inspired by a combination of the first two mentioned above and a little bit of my medical knowledge .. :)

 

The Hippocampus is where all our memories are stored..  (FUN FACT #1)

 

Take a walk down memory lane today and you will see that you have scars from wounds both old and new… Wrong choices, Guilty pleasures, falling for temptations, repetitive sins.. Secret sins that stain scarlet have scarred us all .. 

Wounds like these may or may not heal over time.. If there's a chance at complete healing it would be because of a Savior who was wounded for us.  (1 Peter 2:24; Isaiah 53:5)

 

Imagine the contrast in that.. Sounds like acupuncture in one person heals another..  :P (to put it in the mildest sense ever..!)

 

Well the point I'm trying to make here is… Forgiveness is what heals you.. 

Allow Him to forgive you.. 

Allow your own self to forgive you.. 

Do not be too hard on yourself...

Jesus has forgiven me.. He healed me and gave me that chance to hope again… believe again…


And He will most gladly do the same for you - all you need to do is ask..

 

Find the song that inspired me and the story behind it here:


Danny Gokey - Tell Your Heart To Beat Again (Live)



The lyrics of the song goes like this:

 

You're shattered

Like you've never been before

The life you knew

In a thousand pieces on the floor

And words fall short in times like these

When this world drives you to your knees

You think you're never gonna get back

To the you that used to be

 

Tell your heart to beat again

Close your eyes and breathe it in

Let the shadows fall away

Step into the light of grace

Yesterday's a closing door

You don't live there anymore

Say goodbye to where you've been

And tell your heart to beat again

 

Beginning

Just let that word wash over you

It's alright now

Love's healing hands have pulled you through

So get back up, take step one

Leave the darkness, feel the sun

'Cause your story's far from over

And your journey's just begun

 

Tell your heart to beat again

Close your eyes and breathe it in

Let the shadows fall away

Step into the light of grace

Yesterday's a closing door

You don't live there anymore

Say goodbye to where you've been

And tell your heart to beat again

 

Let every heartbreak

And every scar

Be a picture that reminds you

Who has carried you this far

'Cause Love sees farther than you ever could..

In this moment heaven's working

Everything for your good

 

Tell your heart to beat again

Close your eyes and breathe it in

Let the shadows fall away

Step into the light of grace

Yesterday's a closing door

You don't live there anymore

Say goodbye to where you've been

And tell your heart to beat again

Your heart to beat again

 

And so my dear friend.. Hope in the Lord - He is able to restore you..

He has been doing it for years.. Trust Him on this..



DM if you'd like me to send you the original for prints.. :)

And I would love to hear your interpretation of the art in the comments below... There's a chance that you might notice something I didn't.. ;)





 


I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Messiah who saved me from eternal death. I am also the work of His hands.. a work in progress, as He fashions me and changes me - little by little - to be more and more like Him. The one Person I admire the most when it comes to creativity and imagination - it is this same Jesus - The Creator of all the earth, the skies, the sun, the moon, the stars, the animals, the birds... I have inherited a very tiny fraction of this gift of art and its appreciation, because I myself, am a child of God. I hope in the coming days, you will be able to see what I see in the little things of this life that has been granted me...

His hands and mine

Anesthesia is a very 'hands-on' department. It requires a lot of skill to advance needles (in various places!) with just the right amount of pressure when administering anesthetic drugs prior to surgery.  Steady hands. Nimble fingers.  It may be easy to assume that anesthesiologists hold a lot of power in their hands when we do things quickly. It may be easier to think that a simple needle or catheter insertion has nothing to do with God or His hands either. I have always wanted to "paint" myself a reminder of the fact that - it is always His power that works through me.  Was. Is. And will be.  For as long as He has allowed it.  Underneath are His everlasting arms, keeping me steady.  "Praise the Lord, who is my rock. He trains my hands for war and gives my fingers skill for battle." Psalm 144:1

The Names of God

 The different Names of our living God embed beautiful and precious promises in them. Have you experienced the providence of your Jehovah Jireh? Has the unexplainable peace of Jehovah Shalom quietened your deepest anxieties? Have you brought your broken hearts and crushed spirits to Jehovah Rapha who can heal you physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally? The eyes of El-Roi search the whole earth in order to strengthen the hearts of those committed to Him. How have you lifted the banner of  Jehovah Nissi  in your battle against the world today? In the person of His only Son, Jesus Christ, Jehovah Tsidekenu offers righteousness to all who believe. Do we look forward in faith, to the time when we can live together with  Jehovah Shammah  in all His glory? Imagine the power in a name.  Is it not amazing how He communicates with us even through His name? These are but a few of the many names of God found in the pages of the Bible, that sparkle like ...

ISAIAH 42:16 I will lead the blind by a way they did not know; I will guide them on paths they have not known. I will turn darkness to light in front of them and rough places into level ground. This is what I will do for them, and I will not forsake them. Ever felt like the directions in your life are all messed up? Like there are no proper 'sign boards' and you seem to be aimlessly wandering? Cling on to this promise... your real breakthrough might be just around the corner...  Do not give up just yet.. His right hand is never too short to reach yours..  And the Lord will never fail to perfect that which concerns you... (Psalm 138:8)
