God is the varnish
that covers me,
protects me,
soothes me,
and coats me
with a beautiful
glossy outer layer
that shines and glistens
from the inner light
and intense love
that comes from the Holy Spirit
deep within my heart and soul.
God’s love shines through me,
and touches you,
covering you and all His creations
with His powerful and protective varnish
of beauty, grace, peace, love and everlasting life.

Grace is the free and unmerited favor of God, as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowal of blessings.
Amazing Grace (My Chains are Gone) by Chris Tomlin
This next song is one of my very favorite songs and is one I listen to often, especially when I am struggling. It helps comfort me and feel the presence of the Lord in my heart and soul. I know He is always near.
“Lord I Need You” by Chris Tomlin

This is truly beautiful. You should develop a Hallmark card with this written inside. 🙂
