I’ve chosen Rev. 1:7, depicting Jesus coming to us to rule as King forever. This is a promise that all believers of our Lord Jesus Christ hold fast unto. Like all promises in the Bible, it will eventually come to pass. Amen.

We may face many ‘storms’ in our lives, but the Bible reminds us that there is hope. Just as Jesus was in control of the storm in Mark 4:35-41, God is in control of all our lives. The hands that calmed the storm are the very hands that lead us, guide us and protect us.
I chose the story of Noah and the ark because it shows a promise from God that is true up till today! I also chose it because I love animals.
Noah was a righteous man amongst the corrupted in his generations. During the flood, he was kept safe along with the animals in the ark, for he had found favour in God’s eyes. When the flood was over, God made a rainbow appear and promised Noah that He would not destroy the earth again.
My painting is in semi-abstract form. It shows briefly the 3 aspects of a Christian life. On the bottom right hand corner of the picture, it depicts pre-believers as represented by the colours of sin (i.e. evil, wickedness, disbelief, greed). There are also believers who are led astray by the evil one. However, 1 John 1:9 clearly gives the hope and promise of God’s forgiveness. The centre of my painting is painted in green which represents salvation, repentance, restoration, growth, and most importantly, faith. The musical notes, the opened door to receive pre-believers, the crucifix, the bible, the open palms are icons of joy, eternity, God’s Word and faith. Lastly, the Dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit and also represents God and His Unconditional Love. His Heart which I have painted in yellow indicates the supreme power of God, His blessings, His promises and hope as recorded in the Bible.
