Description
I took a photograph of these beautiful beauty berries in North Carolina in early Autumn. Purple is one of my favorite colors and I really wanted to have a finished product of this image. As I looked at the way I wanted to crop it I realized that I needed a space filler. So, I started thinking of text...something inspirational, and motivational. I started thinking of different scriptures and specifically, the words of Jesus. I came up with a very powerful statement He made to His disciples. "Even as the Father Hath Loved Me, I Also Have Loved You: Abide Ye in My Love."--John 15:9 These words Jesus also intended for ALL who would believe in Him! Learning to abide in His love is such an important and empowering experience for the follower of Jesus because as we abide in His love we are able to pass on to others His perfect and unconditional love. So what started out as being a space filler for the photograph actually was a wonderful opportunity for me to remember where I need to live.. In God's Love!

Beauty berries were all over the place when I was exploring some wooded areas in Texas a few weeks ago. They add much color to the landscape, plus birds love those berries! Wonderful nature capture and quote, Lydia!

You got it wrong Lydia..the berries have become the filler to the important message you wanted to share with us. Beautiful work and I love the reminder of the message of His word.
