I love the book of Isaiah, and this is one of my very favorite verses from it, I have used it on my blog before and will again. I love your graphic! Is that a quill or feather of some kind? I have signed up as your follower. Your blog reminds me of Stacey Dawn's and mine, but I have not managed to be as concise and lovely.

Ginny, it is the downy end of a feather which I suspect dropped from a gosling. My grandson found it by a lake.

Glenda said...

One of my favorite Bible verses . . . and so exquisitely illustrated!

Beth said...

I can almost feel the softness ---the picture is so REAL! I've not read much of Isaih,unless it's part of a devotion, but perhaps I should delve into it more. You always make me think.:)

Rick said...

both words and image are so beautiful and soft.

Kass said...

It's been a long time since I wanted to belong to anyone. To be tenderly held like your picture suggests would be lovely.

That verse caught me in His whisper during a time of great doubt. It hangs now in my writing office.

I need a next-step camera.

This is a lovely image. You've taken this ordinary feather and turned it into something new and artful and inspirational.

I love this verse, too. And the next part:

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. " Isa. 43: 2a

And the photo reminds me of another:

"He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge." Psalm 91: 4a

Thanks for reminding me of His loving care today.

Oh so beautiful....
and what a lovely, comforting thought!

MadSnapper n Beau said...

sometimes His love is a whisper and sometimes a shout. this is lovely and even more lovely are the words spoken in Isaiah. My Bible has the last 40 comfort chapters almost in one yellow highlight. beautiful. I glanced at the quote on your side bar, refjoice for what we have. I did that this morning. As I backed out of the garage and waited for the door to come down, I started to think of all the things i am blessed with. what started it was the door stopped going up and down and i can't open it with out the electric. hubby was able to fix it. so i said thank you Lord for the door closing and thank you for the hubby to fix it, that started me on a list that went with me to the grocery store as i thanked him for the store,the car the drove me there, the gas I could afford, themoney to buy the food and the health to drive the car. Your site is truly inspired and inspiring to me.

I feel a tranquil lightness after viewing the photo and feeling your words course through the image and then through me. Thanks for the comfort you bring me :)

The quote and the ethereal quality of your downy feather, marry beautifully.

ELK said...

one of my very favorite scriptures and so artfully woven in with the photo

Duane Scott said...

This is... wow.

Relyn Lawson said...

This is a verse to quote again and again, in dark times and bright. You are mine, He speaks to my heart. Mine.

Jeanne Frances Klaver said...

This verse holds special significance for me, as I know it does for others. The feather is soft, light, so fitting for the verse.
