This print comes with a prayer
from the artist, even as David asked of the Lord God in
Psalm 90:16, "Let Your work appear to your servants O Lord,
and Your majesty to their children."
In preparing for this drawing, the children
who gathered to pose for a picture later to be painted around
the theme of following Jesus, were to discover a sweetness of
God's presence which came upon us. Upon leaving the beach
setting, one of the little girls remarked, "the man who
was our Jesus, seemed so much like Jesus, I forgot he wasn't
real" and tears streamed down her cheeks. Another
child said, "I know, the same thing happened to me",
as her eyes welled up. The first child continued with saying,
"You know how you feel homesick when you miss your mother
Mrs. Bosworth? That's how I feel inside..... it makes me want
to go to heaven."
As we had asked the Lord that day before
we began, to come and enable us to portray the joy of following
Him. He had honored our prayer.... and He came..... and when
He came, joy came and so much more.
We were to discover a taste of
Jesus, that left us with a longing within us for Him.
The Gospel of John expressed it
this way: John 1:4 "In Him was life, and the life
was the light of men.... and John 1:14 "And The Word
became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory"..... |
