Into God's Hands by Susan L.
I did something special for myself yesterday. Earlier this spring in Art Therapy a painting emerged from a sad and heavy heart. The session began as always by me surrendering my brush to the Lord and waiting.
The image was born the moment I chose black watercolour to begin expressing how I was feeling. It gradually took on a form of its own as I followed the colour flowing over the paper. It evolved into a windswept, grassy field and trees in the dead of night. Using acrylic paint, the sky was dotted with white and yellow stars. Other white and yellow dots became fireflies gathered in the sheltering Lee of the trees.
It's a very special piece to me. A game changer. When it was held up I was able to acknowledge, with some surprise actually, just how good it was. It is a tangible image of redemption. Out of sadness and melancholy a thing of beauty was born. Definitely God's hand on my heart.
I took it in to have it professionally matted and framed with UV protective glass. It will be ready in a couple of weeks. I can't wait!
"The hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil." Heb 6:19
