It served as a preliminary design for my painting titled "Spreading the Light Despite the Present Storm" which was featured in the Water for Life International Art Exhibition in Cancun, Mexico, November 2019.Through simple acts of love and faith like a little child’s, we can bring about positive change that ripples across the globe.A little girl stands in a flood and the rain continuing to come down, but instead of fear she looks down at a small amount of the water within her hands, and as the water runs through her grasp it becomes a bright thing of beauty. Jesus said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.”Matthew 18:3 NIV “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”Matthew 17:20 NIVThanks and God bless!Melani PykeArtist
