I have often been asked where I get my inspiration. Honestly, my first inspiration would be God. He is the original Artist and Creator. I am constantly in awe of what He has created.
There are plenty of times however, I start a piece of artwork and something distracts me from finishing it. Errands… never ending to do lists… my kids lives that I want to be an active participant in not just watching from the side lines… the list goes on and on.
Today as I was driving to go check on getting cards made of some of my artwork, my son was flipping through my artwork notebook… some finished most of it not. My son stopped at one unfinished piece… It was inspired by God and His Word. My son stopped flipping, and started to cry. He saw it, and so many loved ones came to mind.
I immediately felt ashamed I had not finished such a powerful piece. I will start working on it again immediately.
So many times we let ourselves get caught up in life, or things around us. We don’t want to let go of our pride, selfishness, desires, etc. each one a link in a chain we desperately cling to that will only pull us to our destruction. All the while, Jesus is asking us to let that go, and take His hand.
I am grateful for this reminder today… to focus on Jesus. Not the world. Not what I want… just Jesus.
I am humbled and grateful for a son who’s heart truly breaks for the lost. I pray for a heart like his. I pray also, if you are reading this and don’t know Jesus, that you reach out and find Him. He is waiting for us to surrender.
