Out of the Deep

At times, life can feel overwhelming, as if we are drowning in a sea of endless demands and expectations. But through it all, God is with us, here in the deep. May we find peace in the realization that there will never be enough—be it time, money, or resources. We do not need to try harder but let go of perfection and embrace the abundance of divine presence, trusting that who we are and what we have is good enough.

Beautifully Mended

Drawing inspiration from the Japanese art of kintsugi, we can celebrate the beauty of imperfection and the process of repair. Just as the broken pieces of a vessel can be mended and restored to something beautiful, so too can our hearts be mended and made whole as we embrace the journey toward healing.

Courage Dear Heart

In a society where differences are often demonized, may we be reminded that our commonalities are far greater than the ideologies that drive us apart. With courage, we can confront our fears and embrace love, bridging the gaps that divide us and recognizing our shared humanity is greater than the monsters we imagined.

About the Artist

As an artist, MELISSA PAPE works with acrylics on stretched canvas and paper. She likes to build up texture with palette knives and enjoy mark making with a variety of media such as colored pencil, pen, pencil, pastels, paint pens and charcoal.

Melissa also finds inspiration from books and music, with the prophets of the OT being one of her favorites! She hopes to lift up, encourage and inspire others through her art and believes that as we join with God, love and beauty can push back the darkness and transform hearts, minds and culture.
