- Welcome to Oasis of the Soul & Mara Glainne Designs
  
  Oasis of the Soul is a space for you if you are seeking and want to know God. It is also for you if you love nature and unusual jewellery.
  
  Hello… I’m Esther. I am a born again Christian, a mum and wife. I’m also a keen photographer and beachcomber. I’ve collected good quality sea glass for a few years now from my local beaches in Scotland. Originally inspired by my faith and the photos I took, I began to create art and bespoke jewellery from the uniquely shaped pieces of sea glass in my collection.
  
  Mara Glainne Designs (pronounced Mahra Glann-yi) which is Scottish Gaelic meaning ‘sea glass’, fundamentally evolved because of my love nature and art. I am blessed that the demand for my work is now global.
  
  While you are here, I invite you to take the time to visit the galleries of (some of) the photographs of God’s creation I have taken that continue to be the inspiration for the art and jewellery I create.

- The Gospel
  Are You Saved?Click Here
  The Gospel is the “good news” that through Jesus Christ, God became flesh. That He lived the life we should have lived and died the death we should have died – in our place. Three days later he rose from the dead, proving that He is the Son of God and through His atoning blood, He offers salvation, forgiveness of sins and everlasting life for anyone who repents and believes in Him. In His promised second coming He will deliver His people, judge the nations and will rule as King of Kings and Lord of Lords forever.
- The How To…
  1. The First Thing That Is Needed
  
  No matter how good a life we try to live, we still fall miserably short of being a perfect person. That is because we are all sinners. Sin simply means that we can’t measure up to God’s perfect standard of righteousness. The Bible says, “No one is good—not even one.” We cannot become who we are supposed to be without Jesus Christ.
  
  2. The Next Step …..
  
  The penalty for sin is death, but instead of giving that death to us, Jesus suffered death for us that we might be forgiven by God. The Bible tells us that “God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.” This is the Good News, that God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die in our place when we least deserved it
- …..And Get To
  3. Time to get right with God!
  
  The Bible tells us, “Repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.” The word repent means to change our direction in life. Instead of running from God, we can run toward Him. When we confess and repent, we are agreeing with God that we need His grace and forgiveness in our lives.
  
  Welcome to a New Life !
  
  Becoming a Christian is not merely believing some creed or going to church. It is having Christ Himself take residence in your life and heart. Jesus said, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in . . .” If you would like to have a relationship with Christ, simply pray this prayer and mean it in your heart:
  
  “Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and life. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. Thank You for saving me. Amen.”
