Description

The image fascinated me because of the plays of blue on the window and in the shadows of the window-box and vines. I painted another version using wisteria, but this is of geraniums and the sweet-smelling white flower that I believe is virgin's bower. The reflection of the trees is a silhouette effect which intensifies the contrasts. I wrote this poem........................................FULLY ME IN YOU
Jesus Speaks to my heart:
I sought you; I bought you;
I chose and cleansed you.
I gave you a work designed perfect for you.
But more, much more, than the work
is the life that I give, a life, abundant,
of Me loving you.

Fill up your days with a heart full of praise
For there I am in the midst.
Open your eyes, ears, the doors of your heart.
Welcome Me.
Invite Me into your secret place.
I already know what you try to hide.
I already see what shames you.
I already have arms open wide, aching to hold you,
and healing hands longing to touch.

So as you walk with Me and talk with Me
in the intimacy of our garden,
you will know what delights Me.
As I know and fill you with delight, too,
your joy will overflow.

Though the path is not smooth,
there are many tough tests,
tougher than you can imagine
that lead you through to perseverance,
and overcoming
and joy overflowing.
Forgiveness is the key I have given you
that unlocks love’s door to hardened hearts,
of sin and fear bound souls.
So your mission is to live this life I give
with Me living in you the Incarnational Christ,
joyous and free, fully Me, in you.

‘Where has your beloved gone, O most beautiful
among women...that we may seek him with you?
My beloved has gone down to his garden…’’
