Spring Up!


Spring Up!

By Ramone - October 25, 2008

I didn't know what to call this picture... "born"? "our prayers"? It's a picture of the bride being born, arising and crying out in hunger for her husband, Jesus Christ. It came as some friends and I were at a cafe praying for people in the area, and we finished by singing "As the Deer" before prayer-walking.

The Japanese words are,
"As the deer pants for streams of water
So my soul longs for You, O Lord"
After leaving the picture to sit for a few days, I prayed and He gave me the title for it: "Spring Up!" It's a picture of the Bride "springing up" -- arising as a result of His grace, mercy, love, and our prayers. The water streaming forward is His grace and our prayers, and she is born from that out of a dry and weary land!
"I will pour water on the thirsty land,
and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring,
and My blessing on your descendants.

They will spring up like grass in a meadow,
like poplar trees by flowing streams.

One will say, 'I belong to the Lord';
another will call himself by the name of Jacob;
still another will write on his hand, 'The Lord's,'
and will take the name Israel."
- Isaiah 44:3-5
