I call it, “Compassion for the Sharks.” 8x10. Commission.
The best way to deal and heal from our enemies is to attempt to turn them into a friend. To kill them with kindness!
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by doing so you will heap burning coals on his head.”
If your enemy is hungry, feed him…
Have compassion and empathy for everyone, even those who continue to hurt. It’s often the hurting that do the hurting!
If he is thirsty, give him something to drink…
Be kind, be generous, and be loving to your enemies, even when they don’t deserve it.
For by doing so you will heap burning coals on his head…
What this means is that your kindness will cause your enemies to feel remorse from you returning good for evil. Killing them with kindness will lead our enemies to feeling regret, guilt, and shame for their words and/or actions.
This is why I know there’s good in all of us, even Vladimir Putin. We all have hard areas of our hearts, but we also all have soft parts that can be influenced and changed by LOVE!
Love is productive! Love is transformative! Love is worth it.
Daily Creative Quiet Time
Here I go! All through 2022 I’ll be sharing my daily creative quiet time routine. I’ll shoot for 10-minutes a day (at least) progressing through a Commission, or an Online Animal Art Masterclass tutorial, or a Youtube tutorial, or artwork for Collectors.
For me the creative process involves more than just colorful paint, it’s an act of praise and worship. I chose the phrase “Confidence in the Lord” as my art/life focus for the year. I plan to pull colorful inspiration from bible verses, the valuable lessons of life, and the vibrant paint I get my hands on! Now lets paint.
