This powerful painting by renowned artist Liz Lemon Swindle, titled "Seeking the One," captures a moment of profound spiritual connection. The artist began this work by painting the eyes, feeling an overwhelming sense that Christ was looking directly at them.

The experience was deeply personal, with some days feeling a sense of discomfort and others a feeling of great strength in His gaze. This feeling proved to be universal, as others who saw the painting had the same powerful reactions. It was then the artist realized that Christ was not only looking for them, but that He was looking for all of us.

This piece beautifully illustrates the parable from Luke 15:4: "What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine, and go after that which is lost?"

"Seeking the One" is a visual testament to the boundless love of the Good Shepherd, a constant reminder that He never stops searching for us until He has carried us home.
