visual re-presentation of a radiant god

the other day, i posted some pics of a painting i created. i am not really much of an artist, so the painting was a risk. but over the past few years, and more deeply in the last few months, i have been seeing images in my head...they're vibrant, they're probably symbolic, and they're occurring often. i got to a point where i felt like i had to draw out of my head some of the images god had given me about my heart and our journey. 
so...i made a painting of it....

i am not an artist, but i do know the Creator. 

there was royal blue and bright yellow. i saw royalty and light. and then it became that the light was attracting transformation, sanctification, and giving love.

there was swishing and swirling. and that reminded me of the typhoon season god and i visited. 

there is an altar because god has asked me to put myself on the altar of sacrifice, because i needed to surrender, in a whole new way the image i have of myself. 

there are butterflies (i am not a butterfly person, really) because i was inspired to remember that i am a new creation, not just a cleaned up version of me. 

there are hearts, because that is me. i am loved. i am willing to surrender. surrender comes from love and god is love.

the yellow got brighter and brighter and is sparkly - to express the radiance of god.

the painting is personal and it is a representation of what god and i are journeying through. 

we are embracing unhindered abiding. freedom is coming. freedom and rest are here. 

god is radiant. 

god is majestic. 

god is near.
