“Joy in the Morning” is the second painting of my 5 piece collection titled “In His Abiding”. This 16x20inch oil on wood painting evokes strong feelings of joy and hope in the midst of or the aftermath of hardship. Whether you’re experiencing the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a dream..whatever may have caused sorrow and grief..may this piece and verse bring you comfort and renewed hope. Whatever you are going through, it will not last forever. When you place your trust in the Lord and know that He is with you- comforting you, guiding you in His gentleness and compassion, you will emerge from the trial more hopeful and able to comfort others who may go through the same things as you.

“For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.” Psalm 30:5

“who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.” 2 Corinthians 1:4
