Some years back I was meditating on the word ‘Ask’. I had a dream one night that I was placed into the word ‘Ask’. In the dream, there was total darkness. There are sparks of fire lighted in the darkness here and there. I asked what was that. A voice spoke : whenever someone ask and respond with faith, it ignites the darkness with fire. After that night, I have always wanted know how it looks like when we respond with faith after our prayer. Above is the painting is a glimpse of my understanding to our faith respond :
– Angel’s strength in God’s word (sword)
– Angel praises and worships (harp)
– Angel holds a balance (justice)
– Angel declare His righteousness (shofar)
– Angel with a shots open the doors to light (bowl and arrow with fire)
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.”
(Matthew 7:7-8)
