Description
As I was painting this piece I was thinking of all the terrible things that have been occurring in this world and how downright hard life can be sometimes. Then I thanked God for His grace and mercy. What a gift it is to have a God of second chances- a God whose love literally cannot fail us. A God who gives us the blessing of joy so we can dance with exultation through this often unkind world. Being a cancer survivor I know this to be true- and while many saw this experience in my life as a terrible ordeal, God turned it into something good. I thank Him every day for it. He gave me new eyes so I can see the world more as He does, and He gave me a new heart so I can feel for others more like Him. He gave me an inner strength so I can stand before the darkness in this world fearlessly and still embrace His beauty that is all around me. My paintings are mere reflections of God's fingerprints- He is ever present.
This piece called "Surrender" is inspired by the following passage of scripture:
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11
I think so often we get caught up trying to control the various aspects of our lives and forget that we have a Heavenly Father who knows our past, present, and future. We can have peace about all of the things we may be facing if we would just surrender control of our life to the One who has the best plans and knows every desire of our hearts.
