Lord, please don’t let me fail to see the glorious view you have placed before me while I’m searching for what I think is missing! I don’t want to surrender to the old self. Human nature is no match for spiritual renewal! I know and trust your word – that you are transforming me into a new creature. I know that my life is never on hold; I will press on for the prize.
Philippians 3:12-14 (New International Version)
Pressing on Toward the Goal
12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Transformed, 2008Acrylic on Wood Panel
24” x 12”
Inspirational and Compositional Description:
Transformed was inspired by 2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” This composition has undergone a complete transformation a multitude of times. How fitting that the final outcome is a cross made of beams of light that form an overlaying image atop of a mingling of color. This vision echoes the way Christ covers all the old ways and makes us beautifully new!
