In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:16

Drawing Heaven

This is an incredible testimony of how God finds us.  Are Akiane is a 12-year-old who paints pictures of what she has seen of heaven.  She was 4 when she began this incredible journey and has made many beautiful paintings since then.

The most fascinating part of this story is that Are came from a family that were not Christians.  She told her mother of her visions of heaven and had to relate faith to her mother from her own personal experiences.  WOW - that could preach!  We ALL need to be sharing of OUR personal experience of how God intersects OUR lives and not just repeating some other person's revelation or experience!

Recently, Are has begun to play the piano and is now composing music and yes, you guessed it.  She have never had art or music lessons. 

James 1:17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.
