IllustrationFriday: MyParadise 2

You're thinking, Why is this your paradise? Let me explain: when I think of my paradise, I think of "Better is one day in the Lord's courts than a thousand elsewhere" in Psalm 84:10. That verse of Scripture continues, "I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of wickedness." BUT in keeping with my vision of creating children's book illustrations, I made an illustration for the idea of being a doorkeeper! a detail: Besides, I am learning how to have more of a servant's heart. For "even the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and give His life as a ransom for many. (Matthew 20:28)" [my other "My Paradise" for I.F. is here]
