"All Unto God" – Colossians 3:23
 
"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men." – Colossians 3:23
This striking graphite drawing captures the essence of dedication, perseverance, and faith. Featuring a well-worn Rawlings baseball glove cradling a ball, the composition speaks to the hours of practice, the countless plays, and the unwavering pursuit of excellence. Yet, beyond the physical effort, this piece carries a deeper spiritual message—one of working not for human recognition but for the glory of God.
 
During the creation of this artwork, I wrestled with feelings of inadequacy, struggling to meet expectations I had placed upon myself. I felt as though I had fallen short. But through this piece, God reminded me that He sees beyond outward achievements—He looks at the heart. It is not about being the best or winning accolades; it is about where our hearts are positioned.
 
In a world that often measures success by results, this drawing serves as a powerful reminder that true fulfillment comes from working with a heart devoted to the Lord. Whether in art, athletics, or daily life, the effort given in His name is never wasted. Man’s praise is fleeting, but God’s approval is eternal.
 
May this piece encourage you to find contentment in knowing that your work, when done for Him, holds eternal value.
