started inktober late as usual but i hope i can catch up :) using this one from
@indie.beginning this year! ill be writing some reflection thoughts and how i got to the art from the word each time below as well
day 1: arise
the word seems to mean to get up, but has a deeper meaning when we look at how the word is used. God usually uses this word in His commands for His people to do something or put into action eg. Arise, and go. We may overlook the word as just a sign to go but actually has a deeper significance in our action in obedience to God and His presence.
I thought that our heart and act in obedience to God is like a flower blooming from its bud stage. There is no questioning that the flower will bloom, even though it may not seem like there is much progress. But surely when it continues to rely on the source and nutrients from the root, it will surely grow. Be it rain or shine (in fruitful or dry seasons) the source still remains unchanged, and it is the True vine that we cling on to and grow from.
So, arise, but not just for new opportunities, but towards God's will for us. Arise in obedience for the root we rely on. Also, the flower I chose is a carnation, because it often symbolises devotion and unchanging loyalty to someone even till death.
