There are 20 Bible verses about seek written on the base coat. I left bits and pieces of the words exposed in the trees to represent God in all things. The journey starts with seeking out who Jesus is by reading the Bible. The open window represents our hearts and minds that we must open up to become receptive to what God has in store for us. I searched the world for 20+ years trying to fill an empty hole that would never be satisfied.
Then I met Jesus again after completing inpatient rehab for alcohol. I felt this intense pull towards the church, I started reading the Bible and creating art based around sermon series. When I started to seek the word of God and learning who Jesus is my life began to transform. I found unconditional love, peace and an unshakable joy that is rooted in Christ and what he has done for us.
The fox looking in through the window is a symbol of us all uncovering our purpose and seeking our community of believers. The white dove is a symbol of the Holy Spirit that stirs our hearts with the desire for God. God seeks his lost loved ones. “The Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10). In the power of the Holy Spirit open the window to your heart and mind to truly seek a relationship with God.
