About this website
I am a regular person; and work in an office. I have a college degree, but I am not a pastor, counselor or Bible teacher of any kind. Only by the grace and mercy of God, my children are grown and I am now a grandmother (Grammie!). For a period of time, I had walked away from the Lord, believing the lie from Hell that was telling me He didn’t care anything about me or what I did. By the grace and mercy of God, He did not leave me in that frame of mind or place in life and He called me back. One day, I was walking past a local church, heard the music coming from there, and a longing in my soul for the days when I was right with the Lord came over me, and drew me back in.
I find great comfort in the Scriptures that nothing can separate us from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39) or take us out of the palm of His hand (John 10:28-30). He truly does heal the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18; Matthew 5:4).
Lastly, you will note that there is no “donate” tab, because “picturesofhope.info” is not an organization and I don’t want anyone’s money. The only reasons for this website are to try to fulfill the mandate to spread the Gospel in Matthew 28:19-20, and warn those who have not received the Lord (Ezekiel 3:17-18).
Revelation 12:11 (KJV) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony…
