A Hopeful Song for When You Don’t Feel Strong

God-is-love-the innocence mission

Sometimes songs say it better than anything else. As long as God surrounds us with His love, we will be okay. This song is perfect to sing along when you are losing hope yet want to put your trust in God.

Rain or shine, this street of mine is golden
Rain or shine, this street of mine is golden
With the gold of hickory leaves
I can walk under these clouds
Rain or shine, this street of mine is golden

God is love
And love will never fail me
God is love
And love will never fail me
If I’m driving there today
And I really am this afraid
God is love
And love will never fail me

Some birds I know are moving on this weekend
Some birds I know are moving on this weekend
And I’m under the sky, I am on the ground with my coat
Some birds I know are moving on this weekend

God is love
And love will never fail me
God is love
And love will never fail me
And some days I will decide
To let everything else go by
God is love
And love will never fail me

This original acrylic painting is partly inspired by my fascination for birds, especially how they seem to enjoy windy weather a lot. It often looks to me like they are having a party on moments like that. It is also inspired by Matthew 6: 25+26: "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?"

This painting is inspired by the next passage out of The Profundis by Oscar Wilde: “Of course the sinner must repent. But why? Simply because otherwise he would be unable to realise what he had done. The moment of repentance is the moment of initiation. More than that: it is the means by which one alters one’s past. The Greeks thought that impossible. They often say in their Gnomic aphorisms, ‘Even the Gods cannot alter the past.’ Christ showed that the commonest sinner could do it, that it was the one thing he could do.
