In Nehemiah, the people rejoiced when they rebuilt the temple. Their rejoicing was over something God had done for them. The people on the pages of the Bible are all experiencing joy in their circumstances. My audio recording tells the stories of these people, if you would like to hear about them. 🙂 Unfortunately, there are people in the world who are still in bondage to sin and do not experience God’s light, as demonstrated in the background. My favorite part of the painting is the Holy Spirit, who is gentle, joyful, encouraging, gives us strength and moves through all believers.
