broken/water

Posted by Chris (South Jersey, United States) on 13 February 2008 in Abstract & Conceptual.

All of us are broken.
We are imperfect people, living in an imperfect world.
We struggle with work, family, addictions, fear, hatred, selfishness......
We all have a hole in our heart and we try to fill it - with a prettier girlfriend, a bigger house, a faster car.....
But those things will never fill that hole - there is only One who can.

"Whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." John 4:14

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3

I am on vacation for a few days and will not be able to comment on your pictures - thanks for stopping by and I will try to catch up when I get back.
I hope that I can become a better photographer with the examples here on Am3 and by getting your feedback on my images.

I may not be able to reply to each of your comments - but they mean a lot to me and I thank you!

Anita from West Nottingham, United States

This photo and caption/quotes go so very well together. Do you think of the caption before or after taking the photo?

@Anita: Almost all of the time I take the picture first and then when I sit down to post think about what I want to write to accompany the picture (and I use BibleGateway to search the bible for appropriate verses). What is striking is that some subjects that I spend a lot of time on don't end up being very memorable - but others (like this one) are just "throwaway" type shots that I take on a whim and end up with a powerful image.

i agree. 'there is only One who can'
nice thought provoking shot.

@Hinah: Thank you for your kind comment - He fills that hole in our heart when He provided a way that we could again have a relationship with Him, through the death of Jesus on the cross (we can't do it ourselves).....

Ina from Krugersdorp, South Africa

Nicely taken shot, and interesting to link in with the caption and your words.

@Richard_Irwin: Thank you - as I said above it was a very "spur of the moment" shot - I saw it on the ground and snapped it without even thinking about it.
