Searching for God
Open Your Eyes The number of people in the world who call themselves atheist or agnostic is 850 million. These people either do not believe that God exists or are unsure. One of the main reasons that many of these people do not believe in God is because they claim to not be able to see any evidence of the almighty being. However, the girl in my picture represents these people who do not see any evidence of God and her eyes are closed. It is my belief that people who do not see the evidence of God's work in creation and design of the world need to open their eyes wider to see the sheer beauty of the world and the plain evidence that God does exist. From the beauty of the stars and the sky and nature to the amazing systems such as our own nervous, circulatory and digestive systems, God's remarkable skill is displayed everywhere My painting shows "God" written everywhere and anyone viewing the picture can see this very obviously. It is just as obvious, by looking at nature that God is everywhere, as is the evidence that he exists. The painting shows that there is evidence of God in absolutely everything and all we need to do to see it is to open our eyes wider. |
