Melissa Schroder, Teaching Artist here.

I have been holding space for people in various ways all of my life but a new setting emerged after I chose love over fear in 2013. After that I spent 1.5 years painting, writing and listening to music solo style, in all of my spare time. Being left handed and right handed, I was able to discover a world that not many do. Most people work in a controlled environment offering the public illusions and forced creations that lack understanding, meaning and purpose that is for the Greater Good. After spending 1.5 years working on this new discovery I invited friends of the music and art fields to join me. We simply painted to our singer songwriter friend then friends and then more friends. The final project that emerged was painting to the drum. This took place in personal settings and we reached all sorts of organizations since 2014. This is what I do, share what being whole through faith, art, music and writing has to offer. Miracles are always taking place. Divine orchestration in every way. God’s Hand runs the show. 

Absolute and unconditional love. God is Love.

1 John 4:7-21

English Standard Version

God Is Love

7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

13 By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. 16 So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 17 By this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so also are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. 19 We love because he first loved us. 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot[a] love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.

Luke 1:37

New American Standard Bible

37 For nothing will be impossible with God.

John 3:16

New King James Version

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

Much Love, Melissa Schroder
