On Poverty and the Word of God

I love collage!

You can actually make several versions

and choose which one you like!

I thought the eyes on this one was too big!

And she did not look filipina!

So in this version, I made the nose broader.

I still did not like how she turned out.

Tried a profile.

I think I like this one! 

This is a commissioned artwork

with a theme,

Gandiji's Talisman.

She represents the multitude of

poor people in my country.

The houses on the side are a colorful

depiction of the many squatter colonies 

we have in our overcrowded cities.

In my journal, a verse from Luke 19:48:

"All the people were hanging on to His words."

God's word is living and active and powerful,

sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword,

piercing as far as the division between soul and spirit,

of joints and marrow.

It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.

That's what it says in Hebrews 4:12.

I believe if more people took the time to

hang on to Jesus' words and follow Him,

there would be less poverty and despair in the world!
