STP is the Razors Edge

STP, an additive that boosts motor oil’s viscosity and optimizes engine performance, serves as a metaphor for enhancing the human body and soul. Just as dietary supplements like vitamin C, magnesium, and fish oil enrich the blood and elevate the bodies physical performance, the Holy Spirit, promised by our Lord Jesus Christ, completes the human soul. This divine “helper” provides the spiritual action needed to fulfill our purpose in alignment with our Father in Heaven, ultimately guiding us toward resurrection and eternal life.

In my painting, I reimagined the STP logo, changing “The Racer’s Edge” to “The Razor’s Edge,” inspired by W. Somerset Maugham’s novel The Razor’s Edge. In the book, the character wanders the earth seeking meaning, ultimately finding spiritual fulfillment through a transformative journey and in the end writes his story. Similarly, I’ve faced profound challenges and losses, yet I see them as part of a divine path toward completeness, guided by the Holy Spirit.

One of my brothers once dismissed divine intervention, wary of God “disrupting” his life. In contrast, I embrace this guidance, recognizing it as an extraordinary gift from God Almighty, shaping my story into one of purpose and redemption.
