Your Presence is Paradise
Psalm 139:13–18 reminds Christian artists and business owners that God formed us with purpose and intention. In seasons of pressure or uncertainty, this reflection offers encouragement, identity, and peace rooted in being fully known and divinely designed.
đź“– | Psalm 139: 13-18 NKJV
“For You formed my inward parts You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.”

Father thank you for forming my inward parts, weaving me in my mothers womb, taking great delight with artistic precision when forming me. Thank you for seeing me, giving me a specific identity, and dreaming about who you created me to be. y ou only create unimmaginable beauty way beyond my comprehension, but i long to reflecti it. measure the immeasurable, draw it, paint it, tell stories and testimonies about how I encountered your awestruck marelous ways. You breath life into me and died to take my place to reconnect me into perfect heavenly union with the God of the universe. Now i can stand before the father and his throne counted as a son , righteous in his eyes. Thank you Jesus. You write the story, you knew the outcome, and in your spirit my soul knows it very well. You are a God that loves me. You are a God the knows me. You are a God that has precious plans for my life, and you are a God that weaves me into your great redemptive story on how you are rescuing your children. Thank you for chasing after me, give me divine dreams and ideas of how I can echo that story to my family, friends, neighbors, clients, and everyone I encounter that you set in motion.

If all of this is already been written then there is no failure, just joyful faith and response on how much you love me. So that is why when I was mkingmusic with my band back in 2010 and i was frustrated I wasnt gaining ground fast enough and not building a bigger fanbase in my frustration you spoke showing me the end of my life and asking me pertaining to my art "did you have fun?" This put a smile on my face like the wisdom and reality was starring at me right in the face... "yes"Â I said gainning proper perspective that this life and my passions started out as having fun and being playful and I have forgotten to have fun. So i count all of this as a form of worship. my life is a collection of faith-driven art that forms a beautiful mosaic masterpiece that creates a picture of what you love. a choose your own adventure story with big events where blessings flow like raging river that is easy to get swept up in, to hard, scary, painful moments where your heart aches, and tears fall, soaking in fear. But then there is small quiet nights where you reflect with a peaceful heart learning how to become more greatful. All of it mosaics an overall theme of a life that is given as an offering to a God you know well or not at all. When you become familure with the God ofthe universes voice like a sheep to a shepherd there is no wrong direction. All you end up asking yourself is "do I live for myself or do i live as an instrument for God. People will see the art you are making and what your form of expression is today. the amazing thing is that if you seek the presence of God through the Holy Spirit you wil learn thay God knows exactly what he is doing and he knows all about you and who you are becoming. To understand that you are his beloved and he delights in you you have to stay close, like his child playing in your fathers courtyard. his atrium of beauty, staying within an earshot of the kings throne and playing in his garden. Remember you are only playing, having fun, running around, a game of make-believe and creating art to reflect the his utmost beauty.
