What's up guys!? While is was reading this morning I was struck with some memories of how I used to operate in a really hyper-paranoid way that alternatively manifested itself through violence or depression. I was often stricken so hard that I couldn't speak or even move. It SUCKED. It happened for years and though sometimes those same feelings will still flash across my mind, making some stomach sick, I can rest knowing that even when I can't control things, God can. There's freedom knowing that though I'm pretty spiritually destitute on my own, He has big pockets and doesn't mind sharing. Ephesians 2:4-5 God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— "Being needy may be frowned upon by our culture, but God not only welcomes it, He promises that our poverty of spirit will be met with the riches of His grace." -Jevon Washington #24daysofgratitude #illustration #cartooning #gospel #godsgrace #Jesus #cartoonistsofinstagram #cartoonist #bibleverse #biblejournaling #biblestudy #poorinspirit #beatitudes #characterdesign #itsbillmain #oncewasblind #art #drawing #watercolor #dailysketch #drawingaday #drawingaday2016
