Description
I used soft pastels in this artwork to express what I had seen in a vision that I received during the Christmas season in 2008.
Out of the darkness of the night a pine tree appeared, perfect in symmetry and beautifully decorated with sparkling white lights. But the many artificial lights only lit up the tree, not the darkness around it. After thirty seconds the pine tree faded and was replaced by a second pine, a little bigger than the first.
This second tree was covered with blue lights that were perfectly placed throughout its branches, but like the first tree it only magnified itself. It gave off no light to the darkness around it, and soon faded from view and was replaced by an even bigger pine.
Like the other two before it, this third tree was also perfect in symmetry and decorated with multicolored lights that were evenly spaced throughout its branches. However, even though each successive tree was bigger and decorated with more lights, each seemed to give off less light.
This third pine tree also faded from view and was replaced by a dense forest of artificially lit trees. Gradually the forest faded from view and its artificial lights disappeared also.
I believe God is saying to us that He is the Light! He is the very Source of Light, and we were created to reflect His light--not make our own light. Any light that we try to create will eventually go out in darkness. For He is the Light and in Him dwells no darkness at all. ♥ (Isaiah 50:10-11)
