LOVE ONE ANOTHER
Jesus said, “A new command I give you:
Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you love one another.”
John 13:34-35

Painting Stages:
 |
| The painting began with splotches of purple and blue on the canvas followed by vertical and horizontal brush strokes. Then symbols of a bird, heart, circle, an "X" or a cross on it's side with a squiggle showing the horizon, and Hebrew letters: Alef, Dalet (backwards) and Yod were added in gold. |
Since Hey is formed from Dalet and Yod, it can also be a picture of returning to God by means of the transforming power of the Spirit. Dalet stands for brokenness, and Yod stands for a hand. Opening the door of the heart then is a picture of the Spirit of God indwelling the believer, and this image also coheres with the idea that part of Aleph (God) is joined with Dalet to form the Hey. The number 11 could be written as Yod-Alef, Alef-Yod, Heh-Vav, Dalet-Dalet-Gimmel or many other combinations of letters.
We love each other because He loved us first.
1 John 4:19
 |
| The gold was spread across the canvas with horizontal brush strokes. Gold represents the divine nature of God., His GLORY! The Bible also takes about being "refined as gold." Blue means faithfulness, Heaven and the Holy Spirit. Purple represents royalty. Jesus is the King of Glory and King of Kings! |
 |
| Red painted was sprayed over the canvas. Red represents the precious and powerful blood of Jesus, It is His ransom for our sins. "Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow." Isaiah 1:18 |
 | ||
| We all know that hearts mean love. Believers of Christ Jesus are to love one another as He loves us to show the world that we are His followers. This is NOT a suggestion or request. It is a NEW COMMAND FROM JESUS! |
 |
| Horizontal brush strokes blur the lines of individual hearts. Where does one begin and another end? "Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other." Romans 12:4-5 |
 |
| The Holy Spirit lead me to place plastic wrap over the painting and then lift it off. This technique of lifting off wet paint created the effect you see below. |
 | |||
| The finished painting is an abstract with compelling eyes (do you see them?) reminding us to SIMPLY LOVE as the Lord loves us. This prophetic art was inspired and lead by the Holy Spirit. I believe there is a specific message that He wants me to tell. There is also an individual message from God to you. Pause and ask Him for your personal interpretation and insight. |
WHAT IS LOVE?
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7,13
Love means doing what God has commanded us, and He has commanded us to love one another, just as you heard from the beginning.
2 John 1:6
