:"Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy."
Psalm 126:5
I said to my family; "Oh, this is David Wilkerson's verse!"
A few days ago i decided to do this memorial painting.
Since a long time i also wanted to do a memorial painting for a missionary who was killed for his faith.
.
I felt led to sprinkle GOLD over the red paint...a symbol of heaven.
The palm branch stands for HOSANNA. A shout that was always in their hearts and the triumphant entry of Christ's second coming.
It took me a while to find a picture where he was looking heaven wards. Also a symbol of beeing a visionary, a prophet, a seer and most important a friend of God - like Moses was.
A lot of rock salt is sprinkled here...again a symbol: "You are the salt of the world"
A reminder of David Wilkerson's great burden for the church, the bride of Jesus, not to lose our saltiness!
As I worked on David Wilkerson's canvas i got a second canvas out and paralled the two. The second one will be for a missionary who died much younger and his life was strangely conncted to David Wilkerson's live. I have not finished the second canvas . It has much more red paint...a symbol for the blood of Jesus and also them beeing willing to shed their blood for the gospel. The major of the city that the young missionary was murdered errected a memorial and it said:GOD IS LOVE
...in French , English and Arabic. I cryed when i saw the photo of it.
It was David Wilkerson forsight to bild a damm in this area so that during the rainy season the water would collect and form this peaceful lake. We love the lake so much and are very greatful to David Wilkerson's creativity...A week ago I started to read the book;"My time in heaven " by Richard Sigmund and I am amazed at how creative every one in heaven is. There is so much beauty and creativity going on. Of coarse we will be with the Ultimate Desiner of this entire universe.
I know brother Dave has a wondeful time in heaven!
