Light is where you’ll find truth; truth is where you’ll find color.
Color is where you’ll find God.
Color is God.
It’s his love for you.
We know light is what makes color happen.
Color is a product of light. So, if God IS light, that means color testifies!
To the everlasting goodness of a good God.
One who wants us to fill us with COLOR.
Have you ever thought of color this way?
Now consider the absence of color. How does that make you feel?
When I wrote about the losses of loved ones in my memoir, I described what I was going through and feeling as a loss of color, though I wasn’t processing the idea of color as God at the time. It doesn’t take faith to recognize, however, that color is holy.
Or that there is a darkness out there, palpable and real, that wants to rob us of color.
And yet, the colors we see here on earth aren’t even close to what we will see in heaven. God has not only given us a glimpse of what awaits us, but what we can experience to a degree here on earth is highlighted this way. In this way, color represents so much.
No wonder it seems to fade in the shadows.
Our guest today is a woman who can testify to this. She is also a woman who can testify to the glory that awaits us on the other side.
On July 3 of 2021 Lisa lost her 22 year old son Jace after a two year fight with brain cancer. I think you will be very encouraged by what she has to say.
She has experienced God walking closer to her more than ever, and has colorful miracles to share.
I've heard it said heaven is filled with dragonflies, that dragonflies are messengers from heaven here on earth.
When you hear this story, you'll believe.
