One of the Glories


'One of the glories 
of Scripture 
is that it can embrace many
meanings in a single passage.'

      When I first began reading Scripture, (thankfully) many years ago, I wondered if I would "tire" of it - as one would tire of reading the same novel over and over again. Exactly the opposite! God meets me year after year, in the same words, FOR the precise times and situations I am in. Isn't magnificent?!

      I love the painting too. It's obviously a detail, but I haven't had time to look up the original (I found this on Wikimedia). I love Georges de la Tour, especially the way he paints LIGHT in many of his works.
