The Weekend Brew: You Are Chosen!
You have captivated my heart, my sister, my bride; you have captivated my heart with one glance of your eyes, with one jewel of your necklace.
(Song of Solomon 4:9)
Beloved One,
Do you know how much you are loved by God? He desires you. Every time you look at Him, His heart skips a beat. The King is enthralled by your beauty!
I have often wondered how God sees me. This painting came out of my time with the Lord through the Song of Solomon a few years ago. God took me through a personal journey of affirming my identity and how He sees me. I wanted to share this with you today, my friends. This is how God sees YOU!
May you rest in knowing that you are significant, beautiful, loved, anointed and chosen. You are His. He Has chosen YOU and nothing will ever separate you from His love!

Hi Barbie,
Visiting you from Wanda’s; I was drawn to your blog by the title of your post since it was the same as mine this week! 🙂 How comforting and reassuring that we have been chosen because of His wonderful gift of love and grace! Beautiful painting too! 🙂
Blessings and hugs,
Denise
Thank you for stopping by Denise. I look forward to reading your post!
“Every time you look at Him, His heart skips a beat.” ~ I love this! This is beautiful, Barbie. I needed this today.
Blessings to you Rina!
Great painting and a great message, Barbie. So important that we know we’re loved by the Lord TRULY. Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you Melanie!
Beautiful art, Barbie:) Beautiful message, too! Wishing you a week of blessing and joy!
Thank you so much!
What lovely artwork! And, as always, your words are so inspiring and encouraging.
Thank you Lea! I pray you are having a wonderful weekend.
The knowledge that we’re chosen by our God, the creator of all that is and was and is to come is mind blowing. And humbling.
So true! I am so thankful that He choose me!
PS I love the paint and letter/words mixed.
Thank you friend!
ooooooooooooooooooooh, did you do that? I was in an art store today, Barbie …perusing and just wanting to create on canvas but am so clueless. I am going to buy some acrylics this weekend~
Yes Ma’am I did! I am a newbie artist, don’t know what I am doing really. I did this piece at home, but I get to paint in church during worship. Mostly with my hands (I like to feel the color and movement) and well, I am learning a lot, especially how to have the Holy Spirit guide me as I go. I have a new piece from our conference on my FB wall. Will post a better shot soon!
Wow, it’s the second time today I’ve received this beautiful reminder that God has picked me!
Sounds like He really wants you to know that! Blessings!
Barbie, you are very talented! I’m thinking you could sell your beautiful artwork!
Oh you are too sweet. At one time I made some cards out of a few of my pieces.
Oh, what a lovely place to sit awhile! I just found you, and so I linked up my post. I will stop by again soon, I love it here and I know I will enjoy getting to know you.
Thank you Gayle! Your blog is gorgeous!
I love your painting! You are so talented and yes, significant! – I have a quick blog question, which program do you use for your “link within” links at the bottom of the post?
Hi Stephanie! Thank you for the kind words about my art! I am using McLinky for my link ups! I hope that helps!
Thanks for the reminder, Barbie! I’m so glad my God loves me and that I am beautiful to Him.
Blessings this Saturday! Joan
You’re welcome Joan! So thankful you stopped by!
Thanks for hostessing the party, would love to have you join my new party. Mary
Thanks for stopping over Mary. I’ll have to check out your link up!
Oh, Barbie, I just adore your painting!!! How beautiful!! I am so thankful that He loves me, and I cannot imagine the despair of living without Him!! Thanks so much for this beautiful post 🙂 Have a blessed weekend!!
Thanks for stopping by Amanda. I cannot imagine my life without Christ, for it really would be no life at all! Blessings!
Oh friend, we had the same subject on our hearts today!
I absolutely LOVE your painting!
I can’t remember how many hours you are away from me, but if you can ever catch the church I linked with at the bottom of my post — you will be blessed. Their worship is so sweet. Last night God’s presence was so sweet and weighty during their service that it came through the computer screen.
Love and hugs to you!
Beth
Oh girl, first all I love when God shoots right through the computer screen and zaps me. It happens often when I am watching iHOP worship. I’ll have to check out the church you mentioned on line. And the title of your post today had me singing!!! Love you!
Hi Barbie
When I read your words about our King being enthralled by our beauty, my heart skipped a beat!
Hugs and blessings
Mia
Mine too Mia! Have a beautiful tomorrow!
I love this! I love that you are sharing your art too my friend! So thankful He is so romantic!
Thank you Karrilee. It’s taken me a while to embrace my creativity, but I can finally say that I AM AN ARTIST!
