Emerging as a New Creation

Visio Divina on "Home" Painting

Part 3 in the “New Creation” Series

Over the past two weeks, we’ve listened, waited, and opened ourselves to the slow, sacred process of transformation. We’ve sat in stillness, walked with intention, and shifted our posture to receive the new thing God longs to do in us.

Now, we arrive at the threshold of emergence.

In this final reflection, I invite you to consider what is beginning to hatch in your own life. Like a chick breaking through the shell, or a dream just beneath the surface—what is the Spirit gently bringing forth in you?

This is a moment to notice. To breathe deeply. To rest under the Spirit’s hovering presence.

You’re invited to reflect on this process using my painting, Home—a piece created for IMBY, a nonprofit that builds tiny homes to address both the housing and loneliness crises. Each new resident will receive a print of this painting in their space as a reminder: You are home. You are seen. You are becoming.

Reflection Questions

As you sit with the image, take time with these questions:

• What thoughts or emotions does this painting evoke?

• Is there something God wants you to see or hear through it?

• Consider the vantage point of the bird above the nest—what comes to mind?

• Now consider the chick. What might she feel as she begins to break through the shell?

• What kind of prayer rises in you as you ponder this scene? Offer it to God.

• What about the other unhatched eggs—what dreams or ideas are still forming in you, waiting to emerge?

• How might the Spirit’s loving presence be hovering over you and your community in this season of becoming?
