Matthew 3:16-17 King James Version (KJV) 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

No power in the sky above or in the earth below - indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NLT) -Romans 8:39
Isn't it refreshing to know that we can always count on God to love us? Even when we are unable to love ourselves, God will. How freeing it is to know that you can be in a relationship with God where nothing you can do, say, or think will ever halt His burning love for you. Rest in God's love.

As a boy I decided from the beginning that I did not want to sin against the God of Heaven. I wanted to honor God, my little heart was so loving, so deep, so sincere, innocent and pure. I loved talking with Jesus, it was just life that He was there and speaking to me and He explained everything in ways that I was able to understand. I could hear Him clear as a bell, undistrupted, uninhibited. The conversation never ended, it was just a constant.
As I experienced life, the only thing that I was able to cling to were the hopes in His promises. Eventually events occured that caused trauma as life ambled on, my mind was bombarded by a world that was beyond my comprehension or ability to bare; God held a broken child through it all, blind and confused still somehow crying to the Almighty for the peace that passes all understanding in the midst of the chaos. Sins and abominations and abhorrent actions and words escaped my tongue and flesh, a fearful heart corrupted by confusion and a youthful clinging to a promise given, yet an observant mind that somehow always missed that golden goose. Unable to bridle or withstand of my own strength or accord I constantly sought Him, yet was I given over to blindness and deafness; still small voice, that was the only hope for so many years.
Today I sit writing of Him while face the eviction on the tenth of this month, this morning I sit thanking Jesus for bringing me this far.
I would wish to expound on the prayers of my heart as they do differ greatly from my words as I was injured by the beating that I received yet did Christ heal me and restore me as does He continue to do at the present. My heart cries for the grace of God to cover each and every person that I have every known or connected to be it directly or by proxy, that His Holy Spirit would work in each of us according the gracious kindnesses of His Perfect Will. My heart exclaims thanks and praises to the Most High for each person that I have known and the greatest love for each and everyone. My heart cries for wisdom and discernment from that gracious loving spirit for each person. I thank God for the trials that He brings us through and for the joys that He blesses us with. I thank God for YOU! And I Praise Our Heavenly Father for your place in His Plan and for guiding your steps according to His Beautiful Heart for He alone maketh each moment and each event to accord to perfection and harmony. I Glorify and Magnify the Most High with the all of this little heart because it is truthfully all that I have, and that is beyond measure when there is no money; when you have been broken and offended your family and friends, when God promised.
As I do not ask ordinarily for donations, and I am passive in pressing for collections not for being offended but rather for my own faith that God will provide; I suppose maybe my heart truly doesn't push for money as others do, yet it is nice to have a living and these things have been my growing up but also my heart and my art. I do say my whilest I will acknowledge that I have so many artist friends who have aided throughout the years, and I have loved them with the love of God. We have sinned together and prayed together fallen to hell and been redeemed from the flames. By the grace of God many of us still stand on the faith that God is Good and graciously loving towards His Children and His Creation. That being said, I do state that these are my gifts from my Heavenly Father shared on faith that they would produce a living. I do not care for all of my words or songs or inspirations but I pray about them fervently and I have devoted myself to this art to the point of desolation on many occassions because this world has truly been a hateful world seeking self destruction for Lucifer would much prefer to undo God's Will that it would cease to exist rather than face an eternity in hell, yet the Holy Spirit did remind this spirit that the Heavenly Father would not allow variance nor rewording of His Word. Thus the young man prays and sings and shares and excerises the creativity he was blessed with in the full faith that His Heavenly Father would deliver him from the spirits that pervert, steal from His Kingdom and destroy His Children because God is Holy so the heart of His Children seek after holiness ceaselessly calling to Christ Jesus for instruction and guidance. Thus simply stated, donations are appreciated; and much needed as these artworks are strictly donation supported.
Thank you and God Bless you through blessed and Holy Spirit of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and as in all things to God be all Glory Honor and Praise. Shalom

bcockro@gmail.com for paypal donations if the Holy Spirit moves your heart.
Note: So are all ministry writings and all ministry pages that I am associated with, thus the load is taxing in a finance driven society when one has no finances. Shalom
