Jesus in the Clouds - background painting

"Jesus in the Clouds"


An excerpt from my manuscript:

"That night, before the teachers went out to dinner, I had an intimate session with the Lord.  As I looked out a window in the hotel room, I shared my heart with Him (Jesus).  I always feel close to Him through nature, and He reveals Himself to me through His nature.

I cried and talked with Him as I was by myself.  I wept for Mom and said to Him, 'I just want to touch you.'  There before my eyes, was one of the neatest things He has shown me through His nature.  A cloud formed in the shape of a man with his arms outstretched.  He had a shroud around his head, and the folds in the garment were visible.  The figure had flowing garments as they wore in Jesus’ day.  The facial features were defined as well.  In the middle of the robe, there was a space missing in the shape of a heart.

This was very moving to me, and I watched the cloud as it started to drift over the top of the hotel room out of sight.  I was enjoying every second of this journey He was allowing me to walk down with Him."

I painted what He showed me that day, and I hope to have this painting as the cover of my book!
