Roots of Grace
Roots of Grace
16” x 20” | Acrylic on Canvas
In Roots of Grace, a simple vase carries beautiful blooms, soft purples deepening into earthy browns, then lifting into gentle pinks, whites, and creams. At first glance, the piece feels grounded and quiet, but within its layers is a powerful message of hope and redemption.
The purples, deep and rich, remind us of the bruises we carry, marks of hardship and growth. Brown, the color of the earth and dirt, grounds the composition, a reminder of where we begin. It is from this messy, overlooked soil that life emerges. And then, as if surprised by its own resilience, the painting blossoms, delicate pinks whispering of tenderness, pure whites and creams offering a hint of grace.
We are not perfect, much like these flowers. Their petals are not without blemish or flaw, and yet, they rise. They bloomed from dirt for the world to love.
This is how God’s grace works. He does not wait for us to be flawless before He loves us. He meets us in the soil, in the dirt of our lives, and invites us to grow. Just as flowers accept the nourishment of the earth, imperfect as it may be, we are invited to accept His grace. It turns the ordinary into something extraordinary, drawing beauty even out of our brokenness.
In our own seasons of feeling buried or forgotten, may we remember: blooms can come from dirt, and by His grace, so can we.
“He has made everything beautiful in its time.” Ecclesiastes 3:11
