I am listening to a song by Gateway: FAITHFUL GOD...that really comforts me. I am trusting in a Faithful God, a God that knows all my tears. Every enemy is subject to my Faithful God.
To give some perspective to where I am at.....here is a description. It is confirmed and followed up by a painting.
A few months ago, I recognized old and unhealthy thought patterns in my life. It reminded me of times I had found myself in depression. I recognized those thoughts. They were without hope but full of despair and without perspective. I cried out to God in inner pain. I went to God's promises in the Bible and tot eh promises HE had given me personally. I know my mind, my sould and body needed to be aligned to HIS order.
In that time of agony, God spoke to me; He said:
"Kerstin, please don't be afraid, don't despair, I am here , I am here, I am taking your hand even now!"
One Sunday morning in church, a woman had a picture and as she was telling us what she had seen, I could actually see every single bit of it.
It was me walking in a dark valley, there was still a long road ahead of me and I was weary and weak. Then Jesus came from the left into the picture talking to me, He took my hand and I saw us walking hand in hand. Jesus said:"
Don't be afraid of the dark valley, I am here with you and I am the one who is going to pull and guide you out of it.
"
After that Sunday, I was inspired to paint the picture above. Here are some explanations to the picture: I painted dear sunrise behind the mountains.It symbolizes the HOPE to me that there will be sun soon in the valley.
I wanted to paint Jesus differently than so many artists over the years: my Jesus is buff (he worked as a Carpenter helping his dad Joseph for a long time), that's why I put Carpenter clothes and tools on him.
I am now working on a sequel to this picture since I am moving out of this valley....
