A Stained Glass Window

Oh to have the words! There are thought, swirling, moving, but to grab them, pin them down and make them logical is impossible, and would probably destroy them. But I have to try, if only to see them in writing and to better understand them. 


Light. It is intangible, but so powerful. In its smallest form it has the power to chase darkness away. 


Your assignment is to use light as a three dimensional medium.


Light. It flickers, glows, shines, beams. 


How do I do that? Light is beyond the three dimensional world. I know the beauty of light. I know the power of light, but how do I express that through art? I know how it moves me, I know what I feel deep inside when The Master Artist lets me see an especially beautiful instance of light, but I have never thought it possible to share that with anyone else. I wonder if it is possible.


Light is divine. God is light, and in Him there is no darkness. Light shone in the world and the darkness could not overcome it.


I know the Perfect Light, it shines in me and through me. Oh to be able make a piece of art that shares that.
Make a sacred space. Rather then bringing light to a space, bring light to someones heart. 


Light. Illuminating, watchful.


Oh God, shine through this project. Thank you for the gift of light, I pray that it might bring you glory.


"You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God you will not despise." Psalm 51:16-17


How can the simple act of filling a space with candle light move people so much? 


Light. It causes people to be still. It moves people to song. 


"It's a whisper in my ear, It's a shiver up my spine. 
It's the gratitude I feel for all that's right. 
It's a mystery appeal that's been granted me tonight. 
This peace." 

...

Color. Light, reflecting. Hues and saturation.

Your assignment is to change the color of an object in a way that will create a response.

Color. It makes the world beautiful.

Oh color! My favorite element! Oh color, how can I best show you off to the world? I want everyone to notice, if only for one day how beautiful you are. I want them to appreciate you and praise God for you, for what would the world be like without you?


Color. Bright paint, vivid tape, tinted light.


Go all out. Am I all in? Oh! The idea of colored light makes me excited. 


Color. Brighten my day, color it orange. 


Weekend laziness. Oh color, so much work. Oh Color! I stop and stare as you transform the drab, the mundane. Color on the window and on the floor. 


Color. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple.


I don't know how to react right now. My heart is singing with the beauty that is taking place around me. It isn't of my creation. It would be nothing without the sun. But oh, color! You tell a story without words, without pictures. You point to the One and sing songs to those who will listen of His unfathomable love. Who could ignore the song you sing now? 


Color. Redeeming. It transforms the drab, making this mundane space a cathedral.


Stained glass windows glow. They are blank, without a picture, because none is needed. Light and color dance together singing their divine song, a song of praise to their Creator and the love He has for his creation. Sing along.
