The Lion of The Tribe of Judah

For my whole life, I have loved to draw and paint. In fact, I have always enjoyed doing almost anything that involves being creative whether it was playing with Legos or doing arts and crafts. I got saved when I was very young. I don't remember what age I was exactly, but I do remember the first time I ever experienced God's love in a real intimate way. Our church took a group to a conference called Fall Ramp in 2012 when I was twelve years old. I remember feeling God's presence like I'd never known before and since that day I have never been the same! It is my hope and prayer, that every person would come to know God’s love in such a way, that they may behold the Glory of The Lord and be forever changed! I am sixteen now, and I have thought about designing T-shirts for a while, but it was not until recently that God gave me the vision for Behold Designs and the means to make that vision a reality. Our motto is “behold and be forever changed.” It is inspired by the fact that every time God said behold in the Bible, it meant you better fasten your seat belt because from this moment on you will never be the same! That’s not to say that a T-shirt in and of itself can change anyone’s life. No, only God can truly change your life. But, by wearing a shirt that points to God, it simply helps to open the door for you to share the Love of Christ and boast about The King of Kings! Who knows, you might get the opportunity to witness to someone who walks by and says “hey, I like your shirt.” Not only that, but it gives you the ability to proclaim the truth of God with boldness before you even say a word. Our God is the God who was and is and cannot stay away! Revelation 3:20 says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” I encourage each and every one of you not to wear these T-shirts lightheartedly but to wear them with boldness as you boast the Glory of The Lord! All my life, I have been told that we might be the only Jesus people see. We must not take that for granted but instead of worrying about getting it right all the time, we must trust in Jesus to use us to touch the lives of the people around us. We can’t do it through our own strength we must ask God to help us make the most of every opportunity. God has blessed me with this artistic ability and I want to use my gift to bring Glory to His name and I hope and pray that God uses these designs to change people’s lives, that they may “behold and be forever changed!”
