Symmetric Perfection

Yeshua is divine. He is the miracle maker and the sin taker.

Its been 7 weeks since my shoulder fracture. Most of my pity parties have been centered around not being able to drive a car. Dependency on others is a true challenge. I trusted they volunteered out of love. For that I am grateful. My appreciation for your free Uber services is forever cherished.

Still not given the release to drive for several more weeks, I find myself a subject of divine healing. I do NOT require surgery as previously anticipated. Apparently my fracture was very serious. I would look at the xray and say……….”Wow that looks really bad. Yeah I see. Wow how awful” not having a clue what I was looking at until compared to the final one.

SO here I am. Faced with weeks of PT and a continued faith in the One who heals. The One who healed me.

I have been pondering lately on symmetry and the balance of two identical sides. My left side has become dominant and is likely to conflict with my right hand as my right slowly attempts to take over where it left off before the fracture.

In this visual , I divided the face of Christ in half. My students will be given a half and be asked to mirror the opposite side on canvas. This is the first drawing I have done with my right hand in 7 weeks. I’ve got to say, the left hand made several attempts to grab the pencil and take over. They are already bickering.

God created us with differences as unique as snowflakes. His symmetric design in the human body is astounding. If we lack in an area. He compensates. As we enter His court with fractured souls, He compensates with the blood of the lamb. He heals the fracture with salvation. As Shakespeare said “ “That which we call a rose by any other name is still a rose.” YESHUA by any other name, cannot be. Yeshua is salvation. Jesus is salvation .

SO what I have learned as an artist in my experience of losing use of dominance in a hand is I have never taken the time to get to know my weaker physical side. And as in His face you see here, There is a side of Christ that will always be a mystery to me until I seek understanding. And even in that , His sovereign nature will still hold out on mysteries that wont be revealed until……..
