Many things in life try to bend us in such a way that we finally break. Violence, abuse, neglect, lies... the list goes on. The picture shows the portrait of a young woman whom I cherish above all else. Her story is so amazing it's hard to put into words. As so often when I paint, Jesus and I talked about our favorite topic "love"... He gave me Proverbs 4:23 for this picture: "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it."
You are the keeper of your heart, never let anyone break you. Sometimes it's time to let go, time to walk, time to shake the dust off your feet.
