A Nail...

All of a sudden I heard a "CRASH" and I discovered that the nail holding Johnny's copper art work came out of the wall causing it to fall to the floor.  The artwork was still very much in tact, however the frame was ruined.  The weight of the painting was obviously too heavy for the size of the nail. 

Jesus Christ was nailed to the cross and endured the pain and suffering in order to showcase the Father's love for us.  With out those nails, the will of His Father would never have been fulfilled.  He came to do the will of His Heavenly Father.

I will never forget a wonderful Godly woman saying, "We are just a nail in the wall to hold up a picture of Jesus Christ."  Whenever we stop to enjoy a beautiful piece of art, we never take thought of the nail that holds it to the wall.  However, to see and behold the beauty of the art, the nail is so very necessary.

                                                                    Hebrews 12:1-2
Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us.  Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame and is set down at the right hand of the throne.

                                                                    Morning Prayer

Dear Lord,
    I want to be a nail that others might see Your beauty, power and Your Love!  Amen
