I designed this new print and I love it! It uses the words from Romans 12:12 and I think it is so inspiring and encouraging! The first part is fairly easy to do - hope is one of the most beautiful gifts we receive when we have a relationship with Christ, and having hope just naturally brings joy! The others are a little more challenging. Patience is HARD. Especially in this life of instant gratification. Bryan and I have talked lately about how easy it is to find information these days - you just jump on google and find out. You can find out anything you want to know, see anything you want to see with just one click of a button. But life doesn't always work instantly. Actually, I think life, real life, like the tough stuff of life, rarely works like that. We so often have to wait and waiting is hard! But these words remind us that we are called to be patient, even when it is hard and we are beat down and tired.
Prayer, although it in itself is so simple, can also be a hard practice! And we are supposed to be FAITHFUL in prayer. We are supposed to pray, and pray often. Why then is it that I can get to the end of the day and think, oh man, I totally forgot to talk to God today! He makes it so easy and wonderful and simple, and yet prayer can so often get thrown out the window.
I plan on finding a great place to hang this sweet print so I will be reminded of how I need to live!
If you'd like this print for yourself, hop on over to Etsy and place your order! This is one of those times when instant results are extremely satisfying! :)
