We all judge - and are judged by - appearance.
I know that a majority of people will view this painting
and immediately decide if they like it or not.
It will happen almost immediately.
It's a gut reaction. It happens on a subconcious level.
Those that do, will be completely overlooking
the intent and the beauty of it.
Some will not even bother reading this, based on the image alone.
But I've already forgiven them.
“Forgiven” is an image of your worst enemy, in a different light.
It could be whoever you want it to be. He is holding his head apologetically.
His heart is burning for forgiveness yet it is bound by our hatred.
The blood is representative of the blood spilled by Christ
to forgive us all.
We are all worthy of, and at times, need forgiveness.
We could all be somebody’s worst enemy, or best friend.
The key is that until we learn to let go and forgive even our worst enemy
(which at times may even be ourselves) we can not begin to heal and move forward.
As long as we harbor hatred and anger in our hearts
we are bound to repeat the cycles that keep us from reaching our true potential.
