Child Prodigy is a Picture of Faith
This is an amazing story about a child prodigy named Akiane Kramarik and the artwork she claims she sees in visions from God.
Check it out. I'd love to hear your comments.

It is amazing and glorious how God used her to reach her family, and will continue to use her to reach others!
Right or wrong, I have a strong steak of skepticism. While I accept the revelation of God to the Apostles, I am reflexively wary of all modern claims of visions of/from God, including this young girls. I observe that her concept of Jesus' appearance seems pretty American caucasion in the "leading man" tradition.
Her artwork is remarkable. My son was friends with a musical child prodigy years ago. It was spooky...perhaps a "God thing." I suppose ALL of our talents and abilities fall into that category.
I showed this to my wife last night and I again felt awe, confusion, and a twinge of unease ("spooky" is a good word) at the beauty of her artwork, her testimony, and her claims of revelation.
I love the fact that she's giving God the credit. It will be interesting to hear her testimony as she grows in age and notoriety.
Should we expect spiritual maturity in a 12 year old girl? Assuming that she grows in faith, she will eventually come to a more complete undrestanding of this gift she has. For now she needs the proper balance of praise, nurture, and correction. I praise God for working through his fallen creation.
Who said anything about expecting "spiritual maturity in a 12 year old girl"?
If she paints a picture of Jesus that was revealed to her in a vision by God I'm just wondering why God showed her the American, caucasion, leading man Jesus instead of the swarthy, Semitic, dare I say "homely" Jesus of History. What does her age have to do with that?
Like I said, I'm a skeptic about the visions but one can't deny her talent.
I'm a skeptic about her visions as well. That is why I think she needs to mature in faith.
I simply want to measure my criticism against her maturity.
I see this not as another person getting visions from God and painting them. I see her as an evangelist to her family. Without these "visions" her family probably would still be Atheist.
