Story behind Jesus Smiles Love
Painting...
From the time I was a child I was always told that Jesus loves
us and that heaven is a joyous place, a place where we can be happy. I thought
about it more when my young daughter requested a painting of Jesus smiling. While I
had this mental image, I never saw a picture of Jesus smiling that represented
the love and happiness about which I had been told.
I wanted this painting to show that deep joy and peace
within the Savior, with a look of acceptance and friendship that our elder
Brother would have of those for whom He sacrificed His life. His joy is
something I want to have and to share forever.
I know that He will always love me and I want to live so that
when I meet him again I will see his loving smile.
