Don’t you just love it when something comes together when you didn’t really expect it to? That’s how I feel about today’s art. Last night, I started yet another piece to help me deal with a recent less than wonderful experience. I left that encounter very disturbed by humanity and how very far we are from God’s intended design in how we treat one another. The ugliness of that place lingered and aside from the obvious I couldn’t understand why. Until I asked God – Ha, why is it I always try to figure it out on my own first! With His wisdom it became clear, once again, I was choosing to believe in the lie which tells me I am a failure. I had this vision of a person kneeling on the bible as their foundation, broken and in need, while the cleansing water of God’s grace and forgiveness washed their sins away.
This is my attempt to paint what he brought to my mind. It is based on: Hebrews 10:22-23 “let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.”
