Painting - Watercolor - Water Soluble Wax Pastels
Description
As I painted this watercolor the other day using wet colored tissue paper and water soluble wax pastels, I was reminded of the time twelve years ago when I felt impressed by the Spirit to make a prayer garden out of my back yard. As I worked tirelessly in my garden to make it a place of beauty and sanctuary for others, I learned how to enter into His Garden where the work has already been done.
As I entered by faith into the rest of His grace I found that it's a place where no work is allowed. That's because in His Garden the work is already finished! I learned that the only thing left for me to do is to enjoy sweet fellowship with Him as I hear Him calling me upon the gentle wind of His Spirit to enter more fully into the rest that he has already provided... Himself! ♥
