Faith


my paintings are like having my journal entries all over the walls. this one, is an important one. the words are too hard to see but they say 'the evidence of things not seen'. it's the later half of hebrews 11:1, which reads, "faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen". this verse is being tested in my life, like no other time. i guess that's what happens when you ask the Lord to teach you how to be more dependant on him. anyway, her eyes are covered because what she hears God speak is the opposite of what she sees with her eyes. which i know is the essence of faith. but, it's just not easy and it's sooooooo stretching me. my hope is that in the end, i will see God. i think this painting will be a keeper.
