We want to share with you the meaning and sybmolism of our lovely logo…
THE BUTTERFLY ~ Represents Renewal, Resurrection, and Transformation in Christ Jesus.
~~ “Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you].” ~ ROMANS 12:2 Amp.
~~ “You don’t have to wait for the End. I am, right now, Resurrection and Life. The one who believes in me, even though he or she dies, will live. And everyone who lives believing in me does not ultimately die at all. Do you believe this?” ~JOHN 11:25 MSG
THE BLUE CIRCLE ~ This represents The Alpha & The Omega, Hope Overflowing, The River of Life, and Each of us Joined Together on the Journey as Circle Sisters in Christ.
~~ I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the Lord God, He Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty (the Ruler of all). ~ REVELATION 1:8 AMP
~~ And He [further] said to me, It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I [Myself] will give water without price from the fountain (springs) of the water of Life. ~ REVELATION 21:6
~~ “I scrub my hands with purest soap, then join hands with the others in the great circle, dancing around your altar, God, Singing God-songs at the top of my lungs, telling God-stories.” ~ PSALM 26:6 MSG
~~ God’s angel sets up a circle of protection around us while we pray.
~PSALM 34:7 MSG
~~ May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope. ~ ROMANS 15:13
~~But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. ~ TITUS 3:4-7 NIV
THE TREE ~ This represents Growth and Strength and Righteousness.
~~ They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor. ~ ISAIAH 61:3 NIV
~~ Then the Angel showed me Water-of-Life River, crystal bright. It flowed from the Throne of God and the Lamb, right down the middle of the street. The Tree of Life was planted on each side of the River, producing twelve kinds of fruit, a ripe fruit each month. The leaves of the Tree are for healing the nations. Never again will anything be cursed. The Throne of God and of the Lamb is at the center. His servants will offer God service—worshiping, they’ll look on his face, their foreheads mirroring God. Never again will there be any night. No one will need lamplight or sunlight. The shining of God, the Master, is all the light anyone needs. And they will rule with him age after age after age. ~ REVELATION 22:1-3 MSG
THE SEASONS ~ This represents The Many Seasons of a Woman’s Life.
~~ Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “Why, God bless that man! God hasn’t quite walked out on us after all! He still loves us, in bad times as well as good!” Naomi went on, “That man, Ruth, is one of our circle of covenant redeemers, a close relative of ours!” ~ RUTH 2:20
~~ Yet He did not neglect to leave some witness of Himself, for He did you good and [showed you] kindness and gave you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with nourishment and happiness. ~ACTS 14:17
THE ROOTS ~ This represents Our Connection and Need to be Deeply Rooted in the Word and In Our Relationship to Christ as well as to One Another.
~~ May Christ through your faith [actually] dwell (settle down, abide, make His permanent home) in your hearts! May you be rooted deep in love and founded securely on love, that you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it]; [that you may really come] to know [pactically, through experience for yourselves] the love of Christ, which far surpasses mere knowledge [without experience]; that you may be filled [through all your being] unto all the fullness of God [may have the richest measure of the divine Presence, and become a body wholly filled and flooded with God Himself]! ~ EPHESIANS 3:17-19 AMP
~~ So keep at your work, this faith and love rooted in Christ, exactly as I set it out for you. It’s as sound as the day you first heard it from me. Guard this precious thing placed in your custody by the Holy Spirit who works in us. ~ 2 TIMOTHY 1:13
