Glorifying God
I’m glad that I have the chance to do something that will
praise and glorify God this Easter. It is a task I thought will just remain a
dream. Last Maundy Thursday, I have started to paint an amazing artwork of God
found at the Underground River in Palawan.
Indeed it was the best time to have started this painting
task because as it progressed, the more I was amazed at His creation, and my
amazement was coupled with praises to God Almighty.
Of course I could not perfectly paint in canvass the work of
God but I will do my best to remind people that so many times, He performed
miracles to let people know that He exists. He even sent His Son, Jesus Christ
to show how much He loves us.
I can feel that God wanted me to do this painting now
because even the circumstances surrounding me pushed me to start it. An art exhibit to be organized by a school for
young artists gave me an opportunity to join the exhibit, followed by the Cherry
Blossoms Festival in Washington DC where my brother did an on-the-spot painting
that inspired me, and
the upcoming Holy Week.
Last year, I consider my opportunity to see the Underground
River at Palawan a birthday gift from God because there was no available day
for me to see it other than the day of my birthday. I wish to pay forward God’s gift by showing
just one of His wonderful gifts to the Filipino people. For this painting, I
will give the title “Divine Gift Underground”. The photo shows just 20% completion
of the painting.
