The Heart Of Jesus

The heart of Jesus, painted at First Alliance church in Hockessin.  I knew I wanted to portray  Jesus' love for us. a I started with the heart.  While I was painting,  my heart was aching for what Jesus did for me!  The Cross and the Crown of thorns, ever present in my mind when I think of Jesus' love for ME, for what he did on the cross.  He will always love me!  No matter what I do, I am forgiven. I can't escape this love!  It is UNCONDITIONAL!  It is UNDYING! It is TRUE AND FOREVER!
And IT. IS. ABSOLUTELY. FREE. No strings attached!  Just let him into your heart.  Pray this prayer; Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I know You died on the cross for me. Now I turn from my sins and ask You to forgive me. I now invite You into my heart and into my life. I now trust You as Savior and follow You as Lord. Thank you for saving me.
That's it!  Find a church that follows God's biblical truths.  it may take a few tries.  My mom said finding a church was like finding the perfect shoes!  Make sure it's good fit!  Now, begin your journey, your personal relationship with our Savior, Jesus Christ!


Some biblical reference...

John 6:35-40

Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes will never be thirsty. But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

Take It To The Cross

This painting is from a series of paintings called "Take It To The Cross."  It is done is oil paint and was completed in my studio while we were living in Hong Kong.  It was a gift for a dear friend, Shwu Min Woo.

Jesus died for our sins.  He was nailed to a cross and crucified an innocent man.  Everything He did for us, comes back to the cross.

You can bring anything to Jesus at the cross!  Your sins, temptations, praises, prayer requests, special needs, help in relationships, finances,  addictions, heath, family....

Bring it all to the cross and lay it at the feet of Jesus.  He is there for all who seek him!  Praise God!

Hello and Welcome to my Blog

Hello and welcome!

I am a Christian, artist and teacher.  I am a worship painter!  That means that I worship the Lord through painting.  I have been blessed with the ability to create.  for as long as I can remember, I have been an artist.  All the back to kindergarten (you know, when they used rocks for money..) I had words spoken over me!  My kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Blamm, told me; after handing in my colouring picture of little red riding hood, "Gabrielle, You are an artist!"  I have been creating ever since!

A lot has happened in my life since that time.  In 2004, I accepted Jesus into my heart.  I hope to live the life that He has planned for me.  So far it has been an exceptional ride!

This blog will be a place of celebration of this personal relationship I have with Jesus!  I hope you'll join me.  I will post new paintings and try to share with you the message that God has given me through these images.

I have been blessed to find a church that embraces worship painting. I attend The First Alliance Church in Hockessin, Delaware.  Pastor Steve Smith is so in love with Jesus, that he affords me the opportunity to praise Jesus through paint anytime I want!  How great is that?  I look forward to this new Blog adventure and sharing it with you!  God bless.

In His service,

Gabrielle
