Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. Romans 12-1
Have you ever felt unloved, abandoned and without hope? I’ve found that my most personal and cherished times with the Lord Jesus are those darkest of days when I have no where else to turn. It is in those times of deep pain and despair when I discover my need to surrender all, and offer to Him the sacrifice of my praise.
He has promised to never leave me, even though he knows all about me and the mess that I’ve made of things. As I look back and remember all that He has done for me, I am reassured that He still loves me as His child.
* This painting has been uniquely rendered with a time-intensive method that uses only the text from the selected Bible verse above as the paintbrush. The Painting with Light technique takes more than 40 hours to render as the verse is repeatedly “brushed” millions of times. The final result is a never-before possible work of modern art, using only God’s word wondrously repeated in a vivid palette of colors.
The tiny key-strokes of color are too small to be seen when viewing from a distance; but resonates a vibrant spiritual message of purpose, hope and joy from our Heavenly Father for those whom He has given a “heart to perceive, and eyes to see”.
The creative method is much like Seurat’s pointillism technique that creates beautiful large paintings using only small dabs of color. This modern variation unites points of color with powerful and purposeful scripture from the Word of God; a true marriage of color and everlasting light.
It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit.
It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.
Isaiah 55:11 NLT
