Surrender by Erika Masterson
God is doing something amazing right now, a new thing. It’s a mystery that will reveal itself in his timing. I will be patient.
Transitioning with my art is very much like dying. Given that my art is a reflection of my heart, this is a heart change. This old thing has passed away to make room for a new thing. This is growth. Growing pains sometimes hurt.
A rose bush needs to be pruned of all the flowers that aren’t thriving. The bush looks all chopped up, but in time the roses flourish to extraordinary beauty.
Pruning is love of the deepest kind. Letting the pruner do his work is total surrender...”

“I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.”
John 15:1-2
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.
See, I am doing a new thing!
Isiah 43:18-19
