Draw Me (Into Your Circle)

Draw Me (Into Your Circle)

Oh boy. This one will have to do a lot of the speaking for me. 

It is a study, really, for a larger piece on this subject, but it may take over the spotlight, so to speak. 

6" x 6"
Painted with the finest quality acrylic heavy-body paint on Art Bite panel

This little painting is on an Art Bite panel, and is very heavily textured. Most of the paint is iridescent and shimmers like gold and copper. The greens remind me of copper verdigris. The 'circles' are out of alignment and not really circles. I am reminded of brilliance, but misalignment - shine, but weathered exposure. 

I am at a loss for the words to express my need to be drawn close to my Savior, Jesus Christ, today. I have no circumstantial reason to offer. I am not depressed or hurt or lonely - not at all. But I need Him so much. I cannot imagine living without Him.  I just want to be drawn close. 

I Peter 1:7- 9 "so that the genuineness of your faith—more valuable than gold, which perishes though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. You love Him, though you have not seen Him. And though not seeing Him now, you believe in Him and rejoice with inexpressible and glorious joy, because you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls."

Psalm 139:5 (HCSB)
You have encircled me;
You have placed Your hand on me.
