For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. (Galatians 6:8)

This painting is a kind of follow-up to Despising the shame with Asa Dillenbeck as model again. fav.me/d4cqz9m A plentiful harvest is a natural result of a sowing of good seed and hard ploughing. Inspired from Galatians 6:8, this picture illustrates the satisfaction and peace, but also the blessing that comes from investing in the Spirit and refusing to follow the passions of the flesh, the dove symbolizing the Spirit, and the caged crow, the sinful nature.
The dove appears to be a continuation of the boy’s shirt as he has put on the new man: "And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." (Ephesians 4:24)

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. (Psalm 126:6)

A photograph of Asa by Louis Comeau was used with his kind permission.
