"THE
ARTIST OF
THE UNIVERSE"
Written
by Johanna Hobrath
[2/15/06]
The newsletters from the Halo
Ministries
share everyday happenings from the spiritual as well as the natural
aspect of living. I am always amazed and firmly believe that
God permits spiritual blessings to come into people's lives.
I, in turn, am absolutely delighted to be able to share such
everyday blessings within the writings of the newsletters, articles,
poetry and/or booklets, etc.
Yesterday,
February 14, 2006, I was delighted to receive a puzzle that I had
ordered from the Collections, Etc. company. The puzzle is
absolutely astounding. 
The
square box contains 1000 pieces of a puzzle that I and others in the
family hope to complete some day. The puzzle is entitled
"Dove of Hope" by Sandra Bergeron. The puzzle is a
beautiful picture of a dove. Within the dove outline, you can
see numerous happenings in the life of Christ as well as other
scenes that delight the heart of any Christian. To view and/or
purchase the puzzle, click http://www.collectionsetc.com/Item71097.aspx.
Today,
February 15, 2006, while viewing websites that sell other
inspirational puzzles, I came across a picture that shows a
beautiful bride sitting at a window. In the background of the
picture, you can see a likeness of Christ. What does this
likeness portray? The bride is representative [spiritually
speaking] of the worldwide believers that are awaiting the
"Return of the Saviour; namely, Jesus Christ." Revelation
19:7 tells us: "Blessed are they which are called unto
the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These
are the true sayings of God."

The web page features the picture entitled "Bride of

Inspirational Art of William Hallmark." When clicking the
picture, you will then come to another page that reveals a larger
format of this awesome puzzle;
and, therefore, you will see the lovely picture of a bride
[the true Christians] waiting for Christ to return.
For
several weeks now, I have been attending a Ladies’ Bible
Study. The group is studying the book of Esther. The
book title is: "Esther, Character Under Pressure" and is
written by Patty Pell. It was on Wednesday, February 1 [2006],
when I awakened in the morning, that God again placed an article on
my heart. With great enthusiasm, I took a pad and pen and
wrote the article. The entire article was shared with the
Ladies’ Bible Study group. A portion of the article reads as
follows:
[February
1, 2006] "I believe that the 'Artist of the Universe',
our great God, has painted many beautiful pictures in the
universe. Is a Picture the likeness of a glorious
sunset? Is a
Picture the likeness of a field displaying sunflowers? Is the
Picture a likeness of a meadow with a tranquil babbling brook?
Is
a Picture the likeness of a path surrounded with trees that display
golden-like leaves? Is a Picture the likeness of a lake that
displays the sun cascading on top of the rippling waves with the
sight of majestic, snow-capped mountains?
"What
Outstanding Picture did the Artist of the Universe paint?
"The
hues of the outstanding Picture contain colors of white, red, blue,
and darker colors. Does the Picture represent my life?
"You
see the outstanding Picture is a Portrait of someone that was born
in a town called Bethlehem. It is a Portrait of someone that
healed the sick, made the lame to walk, gave food to the hungry,
caused Lazarus to live, taught Mary and Martha the Eternal
truths. The Portrait is someone that died and rose again and
sits at the Right Hand of the Heavenly Father. 
The
Portrait is someone that will split the eastern sky and return for
you, if you are a true believer, and for me who is trying to reach
the world with the message that the trumpet will sound some day, the
dead will rise, and those that remain on earth will be caught up in
the air to meet that someone that is Jesus Christ, the Saviour of
all mankind! [I
Thessalonians 4:16-18]
"The
question: Is my life portraying the likeness of Christ in my
daily living? Tomorrow,
February 16, 2006, I am to lead the worship portion of the Senior’s
“Sonshine Circle” prayer meeting. It will be a joy to
share a portion of the article entitled 'The Artist of the
Universe'."
