The picture that you see here was painted by Tanya as a birthday present to me. She has never painted anything in her life, this is her first one. That's right, Tanya the Odenists, the racist, the cop killer, the meth addict, painted a picture of Christ hanging on the cross. When I go see her in a couple of weeks, I want to ask her what she was thinking as she painted this scene, was she thinking of Jesus, of His death for her, was she thinking about His sacrificial love?
I'm studying this picture as I type this entry and I really have no words to say. let the painting speak for itself.
As you've stated, God is doing a work in her life. Some of it she's aware of, but the way our hearts and eyes have been opened by being obedient to what God wants us to do has been an added blessing.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot to tell people ... she's not an artists. This is the first thing she's ever painted, which makes it all the more impressive.
