The Artist Spirit

Betty Slade, Artist

The Master Artist speaks. He opened my human heart and His paintbrush danced across the recesses of my dark soul.

The canvas surrendered, love awakened and a new creation began. And the Master Artist dipped His brush into the paint and gently wrote His name upon my soul. "I have set you as a seal upon My heart, as a seal upon My arm." Song of Solomon 8:6 "Now you must set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon arm, for love is as strong as death."

Linda "I'm Still Here!"

Song of Solomon 1:2 "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mount - For your love is better than wine. Because of the fragrance of your good ointments, Your name is ointment poured forth; Therefore the virgins lovve you. Lead me away.

"Portrait in Paint! The spirit of the Lord came to me in the death of Linda. Her body caved unto death  but her spirit lives.


She said, "Come up thither, and let me show you things you have never seen before."


"Are there windmills in heaven?" I asked. "I know you loved windmills. We painted a windmill together just a few weeks before you left this earth. Your frail body gave way and I finished it for you."


Linda "I'm Still Here!"
The Master Painter speaks, "We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open.  You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections." 11 Corinthians 6:11,12


And the Bride Spirit responds. I have been restricted by my own affections. No longer do I want to kiss my own hand. The ointment of my right hand, by which its fragrance "betrays itself", betrays me.  I cry out, "No longer will I look to others for love that does not satisfy."


The Master Painter speaks again, "If a man would give for love all the wealth of his house, it would be utterly despised." Song of Solomon 8:7


And the Bride Spirit in me responds again, "Come to me, my love. I want Your kisses upon my lips. I want to become the portrait of your bride. I want to see Your face in righteousness. I shall be satisfied when I awaken in Your likeness." Psalm 17:15
