Description
There is a technique using what is called negative space, where one uses the larger amount of color(or in this case, the lack thereof, the white on the page), as a way to help form the created image. I was inspired to use this idea, with my next icon here,'The Face of Christ'.

Imagine that someone is out there, who has known you for years and years. Someone who watched you play, walk to your classes-even sleep, but not in any invasive way. More like, someone watching over you, in a loving way.

But they also knew just what you needed, and wanted. All your dreams, and even the ones that faded and were replaced by even more exciting ones.
Now imagine that person loving you so much, but like you, preferred not to settle for a friendship that was forced, but rather, a gift-given freely.
Well, that's a bit what it's like for Christ, deeply desiring our attention and friendship. He wants us to genuinely desire to know Him, and trust Him, no matter how things look, or seem, or what anyone else thinks or says. Real friendship, real love, is a gift, and never forced.
And consider this, because He always wants to get to know, each and every ones of us, and that we give our heart to Him finally,because we want to.

This image shows a portion of the suffering Christ endured for all our wrongs and mistakes, so we could get to know God and Himself, in the closest way possible. Christ is like the cord attatched to a lamp, we are the lightbulb, and God is the electricity. Once connected, can we truly be used for real purpose in this lifetime of our's, and shine brightly, full of love, depth and all things that make real sense.
