With All Your Heart

16"x20" original oil painting on stretched canvas (framed, ready to hang)

Like faded wild flowers gathered from here and there, the highlights of life later age to reveal something even grander at work than at first could be perceived. The original beauty of the season wanes but if thoughtfully preserved the delicate blooms will unveil secrets for those willing to observe.

When held to the light, a desiccated petal's veins once flowing with life now map a glowing plan ordained from the beginning. A new appreciation of the hidden intricacies at work takes hold.

Each season has its joy for a time but those blooms hanging from the rafters of memory are ever more precious now for seeing the purpose and plan shining through. This moves one to wonder with ever more devotion and trust.

Inspired by Proverbs 3:5 & Romans 8:28
