Book Cover & Preview Text
Pause, breathe, surrender, and remember. God placed these words on my heart as I was creating the illustrations for “Arise Beautiful.” My hope for “Arise Beautiful” is that it would be a personal, intimate, and sacred space to experience the Holy Scriptures in a creative and deeply meaningful way. Whatever season of life you are in, I pray that you are able to pause amidst the busyness, breathe in the Holy Spirit, surrender your worries and concerns to the Lord and remember God’s promises for your life. “It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.” Proverbs 25:2 KJV. May you be blessed in your search for God’s wisdom and truth as you reflect on the illustrations of “Arise Beautiful.” Diane Ford.
