Here are two verses one from the Old Testament and one from the New Testament of the Bible. They both use the word draw .(pull,drag)
God speaking through Jeremiah
‘ I have loved you with an everlasting love and because of this I draw you to me.’
Now Jesus speaking about God using this same word:
‘ No one can come to me, Jesus, unless the Father who sent me draws them.’
Jeremiah 31:5
John 12:32
A framed group of flowers in a picture.
It is interesting how in the framed picture the 3-D effect has been kept even when it is two-dimensional. It is something I want to work with.
‘ Art consists of limitation. The most beautiful part of every picture is the frame. ‘
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Is the most beautiful part its limit?
Then
‘Principles and rules are intended to provide a thinking person with a frame of reference.’
Carl von Clausewitz
from this young plant.
It lasted five days.
Next year it may be strong enough to produce more.
We were thrilled to see this as the plant had no leaves come to the top when we put it in.
‘We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.’
Dag Hammarskjoid
‘Trying to change ourselves in order to please others – so that we can feel temporarily whole for having won their approval – is like cutting a flower into pieces so that it will fit into a vase.’
Guy Finley
But here is a warning from God who is speaking through the prophet Jeremiah:
‘ When I say to the wicked,
“You will die”;
and you have not given them any warning and not told them to stop their wickedness so that they save their life;
that person will die in their wickedness but their blood will be required at your hand/ you will have the blame.’
Jeremiah 31:5
‘Choose your friends with caution; plan your future with purpose, and frame your life with faith.’
Thomas S Monsoon.
And a joyful quote:
‘ An hour is not merely an hour, it is a vase full of scents and sounds and projects and climates.’
Marcel Proust
Take care,
