The portrait "Whirlwind" is symbolic of a troubled child on the verge of destruction. It also represents Jesus unfailing love as he carries this little boy in his arms in the midst of a dark and lost world. The tornado in the background is symbolic of destruction. The gun in the kid's hand is symbolic of retaliation for the anger, hurt and emotional scars of his childhood. Jesus said in the book of Matthew 11:28 "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest". We must come to a place of rest in the arms of Jesus and allow him to be our refuge. In the darkest hours of your life, Jesus will pick you up and carry you through any storm in your life.
