This famous Picasso painting of the bull skull, pitcher and fruit may at first glance seem somewhat gruesome, but to me it has always been a great encouragement of life emerging from dry bones! Life is so multifaceted, full of death and new life with fruit and water sustaining. Vibrant colours blend and give richness.
Sometimes we feel like "our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off" (Ezekiel 37:11) God does give us hope, replying that, "I will open your graves and bring you up from them. I will put my Spirit in you and you will live and I will settle you in your own land!" (Ezekiel 37:13)
I am reminded that there is always hope as I lean on God!
