Because I call my blog
“Illustrator’s Way”, you may get the idea that I’m just going to write about
drawing pictures for children’s books. That used to be all the word
“Illustrate” meant to me, until I found this entry in our 1828 Webster’s
dictionary (facsimile first edition):
[My
edited version]
That was the moment I
realized that being an “illustrator” is what I believe God has called me and
gifted me to do. Whether I’m telling a story to children, painting a canvas,
inking lines that could become words or pictures, arranging flower bouquets,
lifting my hands in church, making a greeting card, or inventing characters
that people will want to go on adventures with, I am here to show the glory of
our Creator.
Can you imagine utter
darkness? Blacker than black, with no glimmer or glow anywhere in all the
vastness of space?
And then
God’s voice says:
“Let
there be light.”
Behold, He loved us so
much that He sent His Son, coming in human flesh, to look us in the eye and
say, “I am the light of the world.”
Jesus Christ came to illustrate the
Father to us, and I want to follow His way.
