The Great commission
Matthew 28:20
“Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Hi friends, I am so blessed to release the designs of, " I am with you always." after the overthinking, the preparation God continually pressed it deep in my heart to share the inspiration behin these designs.
These designs are so special and I will be dedicating them two my loved ones who have passed away these past two years.
A year ago as I was preparing to release these designs our family was positioned in a place where we had to say goodbye to, two loved ones. During my grieving I found myself in a place where I could no longer run to the vices of the world, I sat still and faced my pain with the Lord. Have you ever lost a loved one?
The Grieving process is a journey, but thank God there is Jesus, and the help of Grief and share support groups with a Manuel to aid the process. However, the process does come with so many emotions and you began to look at life and people differently.
When my aunt went Home to be with the Lord and then my uncle unexpectedly passed right after. This left me in a stance where I needed to be reminded of God's Truth. At the same time I wanted to tell the world about the Good news in Jesus, but the pain was heavy.
I kept thinking we will all perish one day? The world needs to know that Jesus can give us eternal life. John 3:16. How does this look like I began to ask myself?
God being merciful and sovereign gave me a glimpse of it before my aunt passed.
In 2019 during in our trip to the holy land- Jeresulam, Pastor Tommy Cota shared with us Matthew 28:20, while sitting in the garden of gethsemane, it was then where in my heart something grew, a very strong desire to share the love of christ with others. It came with challenges, and obstacles but in faith I stepped out and made t-shirts and tote bags.
In the beginning of 2021, I began to study Matthew 28:20, the reminder was clear, God wanted me to know and share with others to believe, to teach, and finally Obey in Christ.The scripture is a promise and assurance of knowing Jesus will always be with us.
Last year during January, the pandemic was in full effect, the heart of man was filled with so much fear, and the vision for this design was to have it stitched over the heart as a reminder that he is close to our heart.
Before my aunt passed she saw me wearing a sample of the sweatshirt with the words across the chest. I remembered she simply nodded and said, “yes”, she knew the Great I am was with her. After her passing, eternity became so real to me. In my grieving, God constantly reminded me that He will always be with me; even when I feel inadequate, or fearful to share His truth it’s Him living in me who sustains me and does the work. Just as it was a reminder to my aunt, His word continues to remind me that we need to be closer to God’s Heart. When we lose Hope we need to reassure ourselves of God's Promises. His truth brings us closer to Him and He desires for us to grow in intimacy with Him.
I was left challenged and I want to challenge you, to Share the good news, wherever you go, it could be your neighbor or loved one. Wherever you find yourself with an opportunity today, at your job, while shopping, or simply picking up coffee. Let us be bold and share the Love of Christ.
John 3:16 is the heart of God, from the heart of God came the great commission.
This is my inspiration for this design I pray you are blessed.
God Bless you!!!
