"Have you ever known perfect love? Perhaps images and sensations come to mind from tender moments with a significant other, or precious memories of family members long gone from this earth. These are good, good gifts and certainly priceless. Can you imagine it getting better than that? I set out to draw the embrace of this couple as a miniscule glimpse of the depth of love I feel from God through Jesus, whose love is so deep and so gracious, it makes absolutely no sense. Imagine a love that is given not based on mood or circumstance. His love will never betray or be retracted and is not given based on your worth. His arms are always warmly open, like a loving Father, ready to embrace you."
