Abstract cityscape “The Way” painting of London was inspired by. “I am the truth and the way and the life”. John 14 v 6 The verse popped in my head as I painted. I did not know its meaning so had to read it for context. The full title of the art is “leading the way forward”. I think God worked this way in my life because he knew I was too impatient to read and painting was the only time I was still enough to listen. When I paint, I let go, I relax and I would encourage you to try, forget the outcome and just paint. Feel calm in the process, forget the outcome or end result. Enjoy the moment. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+14&version=NIV

I just discovered John 14 v16 “And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them.” As I was researching I found this is so beautiful I had to share it too. Random! I love the way God turns even a google miss-typed search into a blessing! He works like that in my life too. Thanks to God He forgives all sin and mistakes upon repentance. Psalm 116 is very reassuring as I make plenty of mistakes. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%20116&version=NIV
Finally this popped up John 4 v 6 “We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognise the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.”
