Behold the Kingdom of God - by Ben Butcher

I had the absolute pleasure of seeing this journal page come to life on Saturday and Ben kindly agreed to share it with us.  IRL it is full of sparkle too - Sarah

"This is one of my favourite verses Luke 17:21 behold the kingdom of God within you it reminds me that God's kingdom is coming closer and that Jesus is coming to gathering his children and take them up to his father's house in heaven in the future. 
This picture I journaled today shows the gateway towards the eternal glorious city of God inside the city and has so many rooms .
The ladder resemble climbing towards our new home and take our place in the golden thrones which has our names written on the colours I picked resembles what heaven looks like red gold orange and browns." - Ben 

Introducing the amazing Ben Butcher!

Hi, my name is Ben Butcher and I am twenty five and I got Down’s Syndrome.

I’m a Senior Soldier in the Salvation Army and my Corps is in Cheshire.



Well, what can I say about Bible Journaling? 

It started when I saw my Mum doing journaling and I looked at her pictures 

and verses and it inspired me and challenged me to do the same. 

At first she posted two of my pictures and verses for me but then she joined

me to the Bible Journaling Community. I looked at other peoples pictures on 

Facebook and WOW! they looked spectacular!

I love Bible Journaling and it draws me close to God and to see what plans He 

has for me and to go deeper in my faith with Him. I love being part of this group

and my faith is stronger every day and I encounter God in my journey as I walk 

with Him.

This is so wonderful to be part of this amazing, talented, Godly group and I am 

glad to be a part of it. This is revival, BRING IT ON!

Ben has recently told his mum that he wants to be an ambassador or an advocate for people with disabilities to show them that you can still do things and be part of things - he wants people to know that they are important and have something to offer!
