Feedback: Sing

 

The original post for this piece can be found here.

I was pleasantly surprised to receive a small notecard in the mail recently.  I didn't recognize the return address, but the handwriting was lovely.  I curiously opened the small envelope and found a card from the lovely lady I drew the "Sing" prayer for.  Her name has been deleted for privacy, but her words touched me deeply and encouraged me to continue in this "accidental" ministry that we know is not an accident at all, but rather the will of God himself placed on me.

The handwritten note reads:

"Dear Delia,

I have been wanted to send this note for so long, in fact, I asked H for your address months ago!  When I received your picture I was in such a low place. I was discouraged and felt lost as to what my place was within ministry. Your incredible gift helped me to keep my eyes on the cross, and also on the fact the cross was empty... That His life, death & resurrection power is the reason I sing! That I can live a life full of love and gratitude and belonging. There was so much more that your picture spoke to me - and continues to speak (as it now hangs beside my bed and is often the first thing I see!) Thank you for using your gift to bless me.  Most sincerely, J"

You are most welcome, J, of course!  I pray that the image continues to speak to you and remind me to use your beautiful gift to send up praise and lead others to do the same.

I will keep your note in a safe place... I look at it often, I took a picture to keep in my phone to encourage me when I have drawing block or just need a pick me up.  This picture in my cell phone, in fact, has lead me to consider a new addition to this blog and my ministry - downloadable copies of the images that can be set at cell phone wall papers... Keep your eye out for that coming soon!

Much love to you and may you continue to grow in Christ!
