Let’s grow together!

I've been guilty of doubting the gifts God blessed me with. The enemy's lies used to echo in my mind: "Who do you think you are? No one will buy your art." But over these past few years, I've been encountering God and experiencing His promises firsthand as His beloved child. "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future'" (Jeremiah 29:11). Proverbs 31:18 reminds me that "her merchandise is profitable," and the work of my hands has value. What gifting has God given you that you're hiding away? Jesus tells us, "You are the light of the world... let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:14,16). All glory belongs to Him—it's only through His grace that any of us can fully walk in our gifting. My daily prayer echoes John 3:30: "He must become greater; I must become less." ❤️, Jennifer Follow @thejennifermehling Using canvas from @blickartsupplies Paint @goldenpaints #ChristianArtist #FaithAndArt #GodGivenTalents #CreativeLife #ChristianCreative #BibleVerse #Proverbs31Woman #ChristianWomen #FaithInspired #ArtistsOfInstagram #ChristianCreators #EncouragementDaily #GodsPromises #FaithJourney #CreatedToCreate #HandmadeWithLove #ArtisticGifts #ChristianEntrepreneur #FaithOverFear #BlessedAndGrateful

"Slow down. Savor. Simplify." Good things take time. Home-cooked meals are better than microwave meals. Flowers don’t always bloom in their first season—my peonies took nearly five years! God also moves at a slow, intentional pace. The more I slow down and study God’s word—not out of obligation, but out of awe of His goodness—the more I see beauty everywhere. Yes, there’s a battle, but I’m choosing to focus on God as a promise keeper. The more I slow down to honor my body, the more I see God’s hand at work. The world pushes us to chase everything but Him. But Jesus paid the ultimate price so we could be free to slow down, savor, and simplify. What’s one way you’re choosing to slow down in this season? #SlowLiving #SavorTheMoment #SimplifyYourLife #FaithFilledLife #GodsTimingIsPerfect #HomemakingWithPurpose #RootedInChrist #WomenOfTheWord #ChristianCreative #PeacefulLiving #TrustingGodsPlan Follow @thejennifermehling for more inspiration!
🎨 Art pieces tell stories, and this mixed media work shares mine, layer by layer. Created during the intense season of writing and editing my book, I could only add small touches at a time - each layer representing a moment, a feeling, a prayer. This piece, "His Life is Everywhere," emerged during a season of both blooming and waiting, growth and trust. Healing has been a daily choice, showing up and seeking Jesus's guidance. While I wished for quick healing, I've learned to trust that His timing and ways are higher than mine. God's beauty surrounds us, though we often get caught in tunnel vision, focusing on life's negatives. In spring, instead of celebrating new life and blooms, we can fall into complaining about pollen. But when we choose to break free from the world's negative perspective, transformation begins. After all, He first placed us in a garden - this was no mistake. 🌸 36x24 inches$388.80 + $23.33 tax Total: $412.13 ❤️, Jennifer @thejennifermehling #ChristianArt #MixedMediaArt #PropheticArt #ChristianArtist #FaithfulArtist #ChristianCreative #JesusArt #ArtistsOfFaith #ChristianCreatives #BiblicalArt #ArtAndFaith #ChristianArtCommunity #ProphenticPainting #Healing #GardenInspired #SpringArt #BloomingSeason #GodIsGood #OriginalArtwork #ModernChristianArt
