Oliphant

I consider myself to be like Oliphant.
I may not look like Oliphant.
But that is not the point.

Oliphant liked to create spiritual music.
I am not as clever or as gifted as Oliphant.
My artworks are mere attempts at creating an image.
My spiritual input relies only on the reliable..
the Scriptures...

Acts Chapter 26:18
The Lord speaks to Saul re his future role...
"....To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light,
and from the power of Satan unto God,
that they may receive forgiveness of sins,
and inheritance among them
which are sanctified by faith that is in me."

"But we were gentle among you,
just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children."

Philippians 3:13-14
'Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do,
forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead,
I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.'

Jonah 4:2
' So he prayed to the Lord, and said,
"Ah, Lord was not this what I said when I was still in my country?
Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish;
for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God,
slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness,
One who relents from doing harm."

The good Lord gave me a dream to show me I was in error...
I was so grateful to him.
And the next evening I stumbled on this scripture....

Psalm 19:12
"Who can understand his errors?
Cleanse me from secret faults."
