I have had in my mind's eye a visual showing the Anchor of Hope and the Vine. I saw the vine encircling the anchor with much fruit hanging. I realize these two would never really be in the same environment, yet we are given both the Anchor and the Vine as visuals and names for our LORD.
Stability and life.
Security and fruitfulness.
Strength and multiplication.
I remembered seeing what an anchor looked like in Jesus' day when I was in Israel. So, I sought to try to paint it with vines growing around it. It wasn't until I was done painting it that I realized that there is a heart shape. I love this because both the Anchor of Hope and the Vine are ways God reveals His love to us through His Son, Jesus.
I hope my simple painting blesses your heart.
"We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure" (Heb. 6:19).
"I am the vibe, you are the branches; whoever remains in me bears much fruit" (John 15:5).
