Lilies and Rest

Concept Statement

This series grows from the scriptural images of lilies and green pastures. It is not about briefly escaping life, but receiving a deeper truth beyond anxiety and self-proving: life is given value before achievement, and grace comes before effort.

Rest here is an active form of trust shaped by provision, acceptance and shepherding. It allows a person to stop explaining their worth, to be renewed in God's presence, and to return from the need to prove into the assurance of being loved.
