We are all artists to a certain degree. Interpretors.
We paint people and situations with brush stokes that are most familiar to us.
Dark.
Light.
Chaotic.
Crazy.
Gentle.
Calming.
Negative.
Abstract.
Intimate.
We create imagery based on our personal experience, emotion, and filters.
Chasing after our perception. Formulating our comprehension.
But there is often a infinite gap between what actually is and our interpretation of what is.
Our interpretations are internal reflections based on our particular journey.
Each of us, as canvas, have been painted by many.
But there is only one truth that stands out, through all other strokes that have tried to paint you into someone you are not.
The truth that you belong to Him.
You are His.
Designed.
Claimed.
Fashioned.
We are His art... His masterpiece! Let us also be His artists.
Painting pictures of Grace, not accusation.
Painting pictures of Love, not indifference.
Painting pictures of Hope, not defeat.
Painting pictures of Faith, not self-effort.
So pick up your brush, the world is waiting to see Him through you.
Reflect your maker!
Reflect your maker!
