Reaching out from the darkness wanting to take God's hand and be led into Heaven. This painting captures God's hand opened with such warmth and welcoming demeanor towards a hand that has been lost in the dark for far too long and finally reaches out to be welcomed to take the loving hand of God.

Joseph Cantin was lying in bed one evening. He had an inspirational thought to come to mind after a loss in his family. He imagined what it would look like to take God's hand.  He jumped up and started sketching the image in his head.  After a few hours of intense focus and dedication, he completed his exact vision of what he had in his mind.

Joseph wants to inspire anyone that sees this painting. If you wish to receive God into your heart, reach for his hand.

As you think about heaven and God, the first thing that comes to mind is what happens after this life. A reflection of what God has given us. Jesus promised eternal life to those who trust Him (John 4:14).

In a dark place and need a promise of deliverance. Please reach out of the darkness and take the hand of Jesus.

Joseph feels in his heart that this painting will reach someone the way it did him. He has received Jesus into his heart, and he wants that for everyone. As you pass by this painting and stop to observe it, the emotion and faith that was painted into it would touch your heart. Sometimes Jesus uses his people to help those that are lost. God used Joseph to reach someone with this painting.  

That person maybe you or someone close to you that need to see this promise of salvation. We hope you feel inspired by this Christian themed painting.
