"To whom much is given, much is required." Luke 12:48
This is not only a Biblical principle, but holds true as well in business, in families, in much of life. In Jesus' parable of the talents, He reminds us that when we are entrusted with 10 coins or 20 coins, He expects us to "invest" and use it. We are not supposed to just hide it and make sure it does not get lost. As part of Jesus' household, we are stewards of gifts, talents, resources and time. Much like God the Father told Adam and Eve to go forth and multiply, we are also supposed to use what He has given, to multiply it. Sometimes we can get intimidated by all that implies, but if we start out by giving God the best and our first fruits, He becomes our working partner in whatever we do!

Love that 'reveal' type artwork, how clever. And indeed, how true.
ReplyDeleteThe storms and hurricanes sound unreal, I hope you're faring well.
Lovely artwork and as always such an important message to spread.

Beautiful artwork about a very true verse. Someone preached on that verse last Sunday at the conference I went to.

ReplyDeleteHello Patsy. It's been a while since I've stopped by. That's great that you are getting inquiries into your art. It's always nice to hear that people appreciate your craft and are willing to pay for it!!
ReplyDeleteI especially like this canvas. I love how you created the background and then did a wash with the background exposed for the message.
I'm finally getting around to some desks today - better late than never.
Happy belated WOYWW
