God with Us | Imagery for meditating on God's redemption plan
Advent | 4- Giclée prints (2×3”) on watercolor paper in gold frames (2.5×3.5”)
These paintings are the expression of an advent meditation I explored several years ago and enjoy revisiting every year, especially when the world seems desperate— the response of the God of the cosmos to His creation’s groaning for him and for deliverance. How the plea in Isaiah was “Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down,
that the mountains might quake at your presence—As when fire kindles brushwood
and the fire causes water to boil—
to make your name known to your adversaries,
and that the nations might tremble at your presence!”
And how the response of God was willingly sewing himself into the fabric of us. The patience of a God who played in the earth as a boy, spoke truth and hope and love as a man and who willingly became the seed that would die so that we might be grafted back into the Tree of Life. How even as we groan and long for the full redemption of all things, we are given the gift of God with us through His Spirit, a down payment of the full healing he promises for those who receive Him.
In this series, the purple, starry galaxies represent the gift that God sent to us— forever love, forever life, God with us and Mary is the human connection with a special vantage of this God story unfolding within her and around her.
Im excited to invite you to adopt these into your Advent and Christmas decor & reflections 💜🌟
