Through the water


Isaiah 43:2,4
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze
Since you are precious and honored in my sight,
and because I love you,
I will give men in exchange for you,
and people in exchange for your life
I've always loved this passage and wanted to do a painting that would show this idea of God being with us through the difficult times in life. I tried to picture what it would look like for Him to be with me through the waters. Holding hands, side by side? I decided to show Him holding us, protecting us. Again I used my Husband and son as models, showing how strong our father is, and how much we need him.
