I knew Tessa in high school- she is such a lovely, kind, and talented disciple of Christ. I’m so grateful for her courage and love of the Savior! 💕 What a beautiful message!

Brought this rough, big, tough guy to tears. Thank you

I love this - so inspiring. Thank you for sharing - Catherine

Beautiful message. This was really helpful for me to remember that the Savior will help me and lift me. He really does lighten our burdens.

❤ this was an answer to my prayers this morning. I was praying to know who to talk to this morning about something, and the answer is God. Looks like I was talking to the right guy and looks like I need to go back and talk to him about some more. Thank you! #GiveThanks

Very nice message and artwork.

This is beautiful and a wonderful message to share to others who are struggling. I am going to share this with my second (adult) son. I pray it will lift his spriit and help to start to fill his heart.

Maravilhosa obra de artes senhor Jesus Cristo faz de você um grande milagre na obra dele beijo e abraço do Brasil 🇧🇷🌺🥀🌸

Beautifully said and beautifully painted❤

So many of us are hard on ourselves to an unhealthy level. Your thoughts are spot on and so very helpful! Your hard work on your mural is very inspiring to me as a musician.

Beautiful..

Have observed that within The Church, good therapy can be found. Outside, you need to have a lot of money.

What an unbelievably gorgeous painting. It's obvious that it is a Divine inspiration. The message is so valuable because we all have those rocks in our backpacks. Thank you for sharing your story.

Beautiful ❤️

love this

I have somehow felt that I had to be solving every issue for everyone in my family on my own. They all came to me for help, and I got in a lot of trouble. Returning to reading the scriptures, walking in the footsteps of Jesus, turning my problems to Him for help, I increased my faith, and got my balance restored.. I learned my lessons. I will rely on God in my prayers and following Jesus's teachings. No more going it alone.

The mural is beautiful, and the message will bring joy to those who see it.

Thanks for this

Hanks for your art!!!! Its one of the best ways o heal our brein. Art is healing. Our Savior gives us art talent to make a wonderful world. Thats what I feel every time Im painting. I like your story. Follow your star please, although you may think that nobody maters, the Savior does. Greetings from Argentina.

I saw a post on Instagram earlier today. It said something along the lines of "Failures are mirrors that show you that YOU NEED GOD." What an indescribably beautiful message it is that we can call upon God, an He will lighten our burdens.

I so gotta see this mural next time I visit NYC. Wish I knew where it is. ❤

Ahhh! I love this so much!! ❤❤❤ Goes right along with the talk "Jesus Christ is Relief" given in April's General Conference. 🥰

She was in my ward as a missionary back when I lived in Kansas. Good to see your growth Tessa! I always looked forward to seeing you and hanging out! Been going through something similar for several years and this is just what I needed to hear. ❤️

Jesus Christ is the only way. He is the truth and the life. I am in love with our creator. It is simply how much knowledge, enlightenment, that I have learned this reading God's word in the Holy Bible. (King James version KJV) Merry Christmas 🙏🕊️🙏🐿️👑

Wow! Such a beautiful painting and a beautiful message that your painting conveys. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your thoughts. You have quite an amazing gift and talent.

Thank you for sharing your story.& Being genuine. Little by little my rocks are crumbling

Inspiring on so many levels, thank you for sharing your story!

This is beautiful! Such a perfect description how Christ helps us carry our burdens. We are not alone! You can also see the Manhattan Temple as they are walking down the street!

Amazing talent and testimony thank you.

This really helped me!

Amazing drawing and messages so powerful in the name of Jesus Christ.

This was so inspiring, Have you made a print of the mural? I would love one to put in my home😊

Thank you for sharing this wonderful story about you and our Savior. So helpful to me right now. ❤

I didn't know her or her job as an artist but watching this video and hearing such wise words I had a impression I always knew her, somehow ❤️ Beautiful art! Thank you for sharing!

❤❤❤

I so needed to watch your story, it brought me to tears when I saw what you were painting. God Bless you sister for being willing to tell us about your walk with Him.

Thank you for sharing your story with the world. I especially love the mural. It definitely depicts the light of Christ. You are a very talented artist. Thank you!

I didn't have a father that I could trust to share my experiences with or feelings because it would end up a situation of him telling me what I SHOULD do according to his opinion. I often got opinion blessings from him instead of blessings through him from Heavenly Father. So, I have struggled with being authentic and coming to God in prayer. As of late, I have been leaning into talks, videos, anything and everything the church has to turn to Christ and also to make greater efforts to pray and ponder the things of God. I am trying to trust that He is the ultimate kind father who I can come to. I appreciated so much the comment she made about when she is honest with her prayers and truly vulnerable she feels a greater sense or relief, and I might add peace. So I am trying.... and I am grateful to all who were involved with this message especially the artist! This is marvelous.

Awesome story & awesome young lady! Thanks soooo much for sharing....Lovingly in Christ, from St George, Utah.....

Tessa, you are a beautiful woman, your face reflects the light of God so well. I hope we all can find that relief through Christ!

What a beautiful mural, and what an wonderful opportunity to share her testimony with others. Great blessings have come from her personal struggles. ❤️
