About this work

What an unexpected pleasure this artwork turned out to be.
Sometimes when one start a work of art, you have no idea what is going to follow and this one was like that. This process was purely play, play, play from beginning to end.
First I played with the background and then one by one group of flowers were added with the house at the end.
The title is LoveJoyPeace House which is part of #themindisahouse art series.
Love is in the red flowers at the top. We are able to love people and God since He showed us His love first by offering His Son for our transgressions. The Truth that He loves us means that we do not need to fear, for there is no fear in love (1Jn4).
True unselfish love is extremely rare.
It is humble.
Patient.
Kind.
It is a verb and a noun.
One cannot work for it nor can anyone be good enough for it.
It does not envy, boast nor delight in wrongdoing.
There is no dishonour or offense or keep score, but protects, trusts, hopes, perseveres and never fails.
Without the Spirit of Jesus, it is unattainable.
However, this is the most powerful "superpower" a person can ever receive.
Joy is the group of yellow flowers.
Matchless. Again, we cannot strive for it. To achieve such joy, we have to surrender our control. OH MY!!! Is that difficult or is that difficult? Neither. It is virtually impossible. 
It is not a mind over matter issue. Will-power is lacking. Self-control looms far behind. Yet, this matchless emotion can be made possible through the Spirit of the Almighty. Even when one goes through the valley of the death or the vilest of circumstances on this earth, joy can reign over our souls and our bodies through the supernatural power of the Most High God. Through His authority, anything is possible. 
Peace is represented by the group of 5 off-white flowers.
Tranquility.
This is only possible when one escapes to quiet surroundings with peaceful music flowering in our ears, but is can also be present in the frantic bustle and noisy hooting of mid-city traffic or bazaar-type chatter above loud music.
Quiet souls.
God's Rest. 
This is not to restore and recover on a vacation after long hours of hard work, but is a constant state of mind.
It is a contented (1Tes2v2) and abundant life (Jn10v10) serving Him and rest in the knowledge that the eternal outcome of life is determined by God and because we put our lives in His hands.
LoveJoyPeace House.
What a delight.
