This painting of Julia's Rose, a 4" semi double, 17-25 petalled bloom, was inspired by one of the most beautiful coffee colored and frangrant tea roses in the world! The treasure of this earthly, hidden garden sanctuary leads us to discover yet another one of God’s garden ‘glories’. Yes, Julia is dependent on caregivers to develop, nurture and protect her life, but her delicate beauty radiates God’s glory to all who behold her. So too, we find that our strength rests solely in our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. Indeed, as we reflect Christ-like character, He is glorified. Although we are weak and frail, it is as we continue to rest quietly, trusting in Him alone that we discover Jesus is our life, strength and beauty!
