Promise of Hope

16x20in oil on canvas

“Promise of Hope” is a prophetic painting that tenderly captures the sacred transformation of sorrow into something beautiful and life-giving. Inspired by the words of Ariel Wachtel—“He will turn your sorrow into seeds and soon you will see beauty has come from this deep grief. May you look up to see the promise of hope in the midst of your sorrow.”—this piece speaks to the quiet, redemptive work of God in our most broken places.

This piece was created in the midst of deep grief and heartache, mourning in moments unseen but showing up in life anyway. I realized 3 years into this walk that God had gifted me such empathy through the heartache of grief. He had transformed my tears into a beautiful purpose. He didn't cause the pain, but He took it and made something bloom. 

Perfect for a gift for a grieving friend or just a reminder that sorrow can make you strong and soft, "Promise of Hope" speaks that there can be hope in the valley.
