Posting this late as I've been trying to find the words to communicate the feelings I've had while creating this piece-but I don't think words could adequately express the perfect love the Savior has for each of God's children. But here are some of the thoughts that are on my mind tonight. As I worked on this piece, I imagined this being what it's like right before a child is sent down to earth. The love He must feel for this child He knows so perfectly- a love that is so tangible when in the presence of a newborn. They are so fresh from their Savior's embrace- they are pure, innocent, and filled with life and hope. I picture this also being what it's like when one of God's precious children returns to their heavenly home. When a child is already whole and their journey is complete, and they are once again reunited and in the presence of the Savior, I can only imagine what a sweet reunion it would be as that child is wrapped in His eternal love and grace once again, and that love the child brought into the world, remains to comfort their loved ones and remind them that they are safe and alive in Christ.
