❤️ The Heart Behind This Piece

This piece was created during a time when my relationship with God was no longer something I visited…
it was something I was living☀️

I didn’t just believe in Him anymore —
I was beginning to feel Him, hear Him, and be led by Him🕊️

And with that… came a FIRE🔥

Not a loud, overwhelming fire —
but a steady, growing one.

The kind that starts deep in your spirit
and begins to change everything.

As I painted this piece, God introduced me to something I had heard before…
but never truly understood:

The Fruits of the Spirit🍇

Not as words to memorize…
but as a mirror to look into.

Love.
Joy.
Peace.
Patience.
Kindness.
Goodness.
Faithfulness.
Gentleness.
Self-control.

As I placed each one into this piece, something shifted inside of me.

I began to see where I was walking in alignment…
and where I still needed Him.

And if I’m being honest —
patience and self-control were (and still are) my hardest.

But instead of feeling discouraged, I felt something different.

I felt invited.

Because being “On Fire for Jesus” doesn’t mean perfection.
It means awareness
It means returning
It means allowing Him to refine you — over and over again💝

This painting became more than art🎨

It became a checkpoint.

A place I come back to when something feels off…
when my reactions don’t reflect His heart…
when I need to realign.

Because every time something goes wrong, I can trace it back
to a place where I stepped outside of one of these.

And instead of shame…
He give us Grace❤️

This fire is not meant to burn you.

It is meant to refine you.

🧵 The Cord of Hope (Signature Meaning)

Running through this piece is the Cord of Hope —
a reminder that transformation doesn’t happen in the mind alone…

It travels from head to heart ❤️

This cord represents the journey of:

Knowing → Believing → Surrendering

It is the bridge between understanding God…
and fully trusting Him.

And at the end of that cord…

is

HOPE.

Anchored.
Steady.
Unmoving — even when everything else feels uncertain.

💛 Reflection

Being on fire for Jesus doesn’t mean you have it all together.

It means you’re willing to let Him shape you.

Daily.
Gently.
Honestly.

It means when you fall short… you don’t run away.

You come back.

And over time, that fire doesn’t fade.

It grows 🔥
