“Redeeming Love”
36”x48” Oil on Canvas
Everything hurts. Where is my God to redeem me?
I finished this painting 2 weeks ago. Every time I’m about to share it something stops me. It’s hard to find the words. I understand Van Gogh’s need to paint - Painting is a way to escape reality. To help put your mind back at ease. I paint things that I think are beautiful and happy. It’s a way to live up to something. If I paint only the way I feel it would bring me down. So I try and look at things God made that are beautiful and put them on canvas the way I see them. I’m done pretending. Life is the hardest thing we do. I don’t claim Jesus because I’m worthy. I claim Him because I need him to save me because I’m unworthy… and in-spite of that He loves me and I love him back.
“The Lord hears his people when they call for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the broken-hearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.” Psalm 34:17-19
“Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.” Psalm 31:24
