Title: “Belonging” - Acrylic Paint. _ There’s a truth that resonates within the soul, truer than most things in this world that have been told. _ Here’s a set of some truths: Heavenly Father is the Original Father who didn’t need us, but lovingly created and gave life to you and me. Christ Yeshua, His Son, Our Lord, Friend, and Saviour, who died for us, and set us free-that doesn’t mean do whatever you want, sin still has consequences. The Holy Spirit, who is sent from the Father and the Son, connects us to our Heavenly Father and Christ Yeshua, so that we have true life in us as long as we live._ Second set: Heaven is Home, we came from there, and by the loving grace of God, we may return there when we pass from this life._ Third set: The only true life that exists is where God is, and if God isn’t in it, or if it’s not God-sent, then there is no life._ Last set; it is this true belonging to Our Holy, Loving, Everlasting, Almighty God. Not the finite world, or the distractive, demonic, wickedness that’s in it, but truly to God alone._ Dear Heavenly Father, Christ Yeshua, Holy Spirit, may we, your children, continually be protected, defended, assisted, and blessed by you. To know how loved we are by you and who we belong to. That all evil, and all that’s not from you in life, be no more. Thanks be to you, oh God. All glory and honour are yours forever. Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and in Christ Yeshuas, amen.

Title: unveiled - Acrylic Paint. This isn’t about a symbol or Religion, but only the truth. The Flesh and Blood of the Lord made physical every mass is TRUE nourishment for our own infinite souls.___ Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day."-John 6:54___ Yes, the Lord died and rose for us, setting us free, but we humans still tend to sin. This holy act of receiving Christ is TRULY purifying, sanctifying, unifying, repairing, and intimately deepening ourselves with the one we are made for- Father God, Christ Yeshua, and the Holy Spirit. ___ brothers and sisters, if we are in a known state of mortal sin without the act of confession, please refrain from receiving the Eucharist. ___ Receiving the Eucharist in a state of mortal sin is sacrilege, which greatly harms Christ, yourself, and your relationship with Christs. ___ Dear God, thank you for you. May we genuinely continue seeking and partaking in you with an open heart, resulting in divine communion and likeness of what is being received. In you, Christ Yeshua, amen.___ And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.'" -Luke22:9

Title: Redemption. - Acrylic Paint. Statement: Samson, a man of God, a man of Divine strength, a Heavenly sent deliverer, one who is blessed and anointed by Our Creator to aid in His Glory. ___ The story of Samson serves as a reminder that all the good we are, have, and know, as well as all the good we do when we’re obedient, isn’t our own, but rather God working through and in us. The goodness that’s being done is our “Yes” to God by our choice of free will. Ultimately, the story of Samson serves as a reminder of his humanity through his own sinful downfall. God then showed His loving faithfulness by turning an ugly situation of sin, and using Samson to save the Israelites, His chosen people, for redemption. Again, it’s not our goodness, but it is God. Thanks be to you, oh God, forever.

Title: Restored. - Acrylic Paint.

Now we’re delivered, saved, set free, returned , and restored. Lord, thank you for your undeserving yet needed love you give to us, your children, again and again, leading us to everlasting life where we’re meant to belong, amen.

Title: Complete. - Acrylic Paint. Statement: Within this sinful nature, we are the white sheep made black, and Lord, you still decide to come to us. Not out of being chosen, or that we deserve it, no, but simply because you know You are the One we need. As our souls are in the shadows, we yearn to be in Your light. You come and deliver us, and we are now the black sheep made white. Truly in you we are reborn, satisfied, fulfilled, and made complete.
