He is WITH you. Through the fire, through the storm. Planting something that will stand the test of time and grow a long-suffering you could not have gained any other way. The forest green in this piece represents the steadiness of evergreen trees always keeping their color and reaching upward. The peachy orange tones and copper metal leaf represents the fire- where these giant sequoia pine cones find their purpose. I love that the only way the seeds are opened and released to grow new life, is through the immense heat of a consuming fire. After putting down roots they are there for the long haul! To endure for up to thousands, yes thousands, of years! 

He is WITH you without doubt. Be encouraged today. His love never runs out. And He is using every fire in your life to produce something that lasts, when you yield to Him to 'plant it'.
