The Turning Away

“Why are you marching, beloved?

Why are you shouting?

Why are you rioting?

Why are you leaving the love of My Son?


Why do you call Him ‘Lord’

but reject the way He taught you?


Do not turn away from the world

that I loved so much and gave My Son for.


Do not plot violence against them

or keep violence in your hearts.


Do not leave My heart, beloved.

Do not leave the Spirit of My Son.”

Art: “The Journey Away”


Note about the painting: I was moved to paint this on the evening of New Year’s Day, 2021, and only realized the similarity and parallels to the riot at the U.S. Capitol some days afterward. The word accompanying the picture, however, was written today.
