In the Bible, the first people mentioned to be filled with the Spirit of God were artisans. I did not realize how blessed I am to be a creative person just like them. I did not feel the weight of my responsibility as an artist because I did not have a real relationship with Jesus back then. Before I encountered God, I misused the talent He gave me for the sake of money. It has become my idol. Money became my source of security, and I relied solely on my own creativity as if it were something to boast about. For years, I sacrificed my own health and refused to sleep just to "build my own empire and make a name for myself."

When Jesus called me back to Him, everything changed. He took away everything I built and all that I possessed (which I gained by doing evil). In addition to that, several financial problems appeared one after another until my pockets were drained. 99.9% of my customers abandoned me just because of my faith, and my business crumbled like the walls of Jericho. It was painful, and I did not know the purpose of them all at first. But then I realized that He did this in order for us to create a fresh start and for me to learn how to rely solely on Him instead of myself.

It is hard to explain to a non-believer, but by losing everything, I have gained everything. People may call me crazy, but now that the old me has passed away, and Jesus has become the center of my life, I have received peace and satisfaction for the first time. Something money could never afford. I do not know the future of my new art and the course of my new business. I just know that even if my body perishes, I finally know where my soul rests.

Because I was the lost sheep God left the ninety-nine for, I made a covenant that I will rededicate my art to Him from now on. Everything I create is to glorify the name of Jesus.
