Let the Children Come

Too often we look on the Savior as distant and removed from us. We remember Him as the God of the Universe possessing all power and might, yet forget that He is our personal Savior.<br><br>I painted this piece because I wanted to try and change the way my children and grandchildren thought of Jesus Christ. I wanted them to think of Him as a friend and the first One they turn to for peace and comfort. I wanted Him to be for them a light shining in the darkness.<br><br>In trying to change my children’s perception I changed my own. Each time I look at this painting I find myself smiling. I think He would like that. <br><br>
