Description
This beautiful abstract print was originally a pastel painting of a desert scene that I had done a number of years ago. Just recently I "accidentally" began digitally manipulating the colors in Photoshop and this beautiful abstract ocean scene was created!
The turbulent waters reminded me of the following Scripture... "When you go through the waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown". (Isaiah 43:2).
Then I remembered a time in my life when I felt like I was going through rivers of difficulty. Although it felt like I was not able to breathe, I did. Although it felt like I was going to drown, I didn't. Although I felt helpless and hopeless, and didn't know how I was going to be able to keep my head above water, the Lord became my strength and held my head high.
He lifted me up out of the pit and placed my feet on firm ground. He brought me out into the spacious place of His heart where there was plenty of room for me to learn to begin to trust in His love.♥
