We Love You, Lord!

By Hazel Holland

I created this impressionistic watercolor from a larger watercolor painting of mine because I wanted to focus on the beauty of His presence.  God is calling each one of us to come to Him just as we are and allow Him to perform the miracle of His transforming love upon our broken and imperfect hearts.  As we lift up our hands in worship we sense the sweet aroma of His grace being poured out upon us daily.♥

Light Shattering Darkness

By Hazel Holland

Although I painted this impressionistic watercolor a number years ago after having a dream one night of light in the shape of a cross shattering the darkness of the night, I felt impressed to post it today.  Ever since that time, the prayer of my heart has been that God's incredible gift of love given to us in Jesus Christ would be like light shattering the darkness around every heart who was ready to receive His grace.

May the Spirit reveal to you that although our world is but a speck in a universe of billions of galaxies, you are, and forever will be, His first love!♥

Transformed By Grace

By Hazel Holland

 

I created this impressionistic/abstract watercolor of a butterfly using colored artist's tissue paper, water soluble wax crayons and watercolor pencils.  The palette of colors came from my imagination as I saw these beautiful colors begin to take shape. 

To me the butterfly is one of God's special little winged creatures because it goes through such a difficult process before it can spread it wings and become all that God designed it to be...

To me it's amazing that a caterpillar that crawls around on the ground can be transformed into a beautiful butterfly that no longer crawls but flies...  But the process of transformation is not an easy one...

The restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get out of it is God's way of strengthening the butterfly's wings.  He is making them ready for flight once the butterfly achieves its freedom from the cocoon. 

The butterfly's struggle to emerge from the cocoon is exactly what is needed for it to become the creature God designed it to be.  It's destiny was never to remain a caterpillar, but to be transformed into a healthy and beautiful butterfly. 

Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in life, too.  They make us strong.  If God allowed us to go through life without any obstacles to overcome, we would become weak and crippled.  We would never be able to fly!

So God allows difficulties to cross our path because they provide opportunities for us to grow.  He knows that we will emerge from our struggles to get out of the "cocoon" far wiser, and with a courage born out of pain.  His purpose for us is to live life the way He designed... in freedom... NOT in captivity! 

Our destiny in Him is to be transformed into His image by His grace.♥

Grateful Hearts

I painted this impressionistic watercolor to express my love for Jesus Christ because of His amazing love for each one of us.  The rainbow hearts surrounded by the blue waves of His ocean of love symbolize the hope we may all have in His goodness and grace. 

How can we ever thank Him enough for dying on a cross and forgiving us for our sins once and for all time?  By responding to His loving invitation to believe in His goodness and grace.  We can offer Him our grateful hearts knowing that His heart is always for us!♥

God's Grace

By Hazel Holland

This is an abstract watercolor that I did to depict God's healing grace being poured out upon the cities and nations of this world. When we lift up our eyes and look to the light of His love we will see evidence of His amazing grace everywhere.

It reaches to the highest skyscraper and lowest hovel. There's no place too high or too low that God's grace has not already been there first. I praise Him for such unfathomable love!♥
