Pondering polar bear. & bookmark. gouache on watercolour
Do not bear a grudge. Polar bear thinking about not bearing a grudge. Heehee
I've done it, chances are you have too... I've held a grudge 0r two in my lifetime. The sooner you let it go - the sooner you move forward and experience JOY. Holding a grudge is pointless - most of the time the person you are holding it against, isn't even aware -so you are only holding it for yourself and robbing yourself of Joy, keeping yourself 'stuck'. There are so many more things to focus on than hurtful feelings towards another. Yes, I still get angry but understand - just let it go.. move on so I can paint & have peace restored in my own mind & heart, that's what Jesus would want. Forgive... unfortunately the trust is usually gone but it's all part of the lesson. It takes less energy to forgive than to hold a grudge, in my experience. Holding a grudge is a sign of immaturity, spiritual immaturity.
I trust in the Lord to look after it all!
Leviticus 19:18
18 “‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people,
but love your neighbour as yourself. I am the Lord.
Who has time for grudges when I hardly have enough hours in the day to paint? I think I'll get in the habit of adding a bookmark at the same time, it fits the paper and is like a mini area to experiment as I work on the main feature. I always have left over paint too & Now, a book mark! I will add a ribbon and gift it to a reader. This was just todays 'warm up.
I have decided to focus only on art inspired by the bible! Every time I read it - I am inspired. 40 days at least, dedicated to The Lord with painting, timing should bring me into March. I hope you continue to follow -if not that's o.k., I know we are not all on the same path but eventually we all arrive at the same destination! I have faith.
The day you start working to please God and not others,) including yourself) is the day you you feel free!
Everything becomes fun', a passion instead of a chore'.
Next a bear I've painting before, slightly different. Created to create!
