Remember- He is the artist and you are only the picture. You can't see it. So quietly submit to be painted.This blog is called "a live masterpiece" because that is what we are, that is what I am. I am a living masterpiece that is being painted to show the hand of the Artist.
Sometimes I think I have a better picture in mind, sometimes I think I know what colors He should use, or how heavily He should apply the paint.
But ultimately He is the only One who can see the whole picture, He is the only One who knows what the end result will look like.
I feel ridiculous when I think about how many times I have tried to grab the brush out of His hand and do it myself.
Being an artist, I understand how important my paintings are to me. I get a beautiful picture in my mind and I know just how I want to paint it. I can't imagine how upsetting it would be if someone was constantly trying to grab the brush out of my hand and paint my painting, the one that only I know the end result of...
...He's the artist, and I am the painting.
That was a pretty eye opening post. I have heard that God is the potter and we are the clay, but I think I like the analogy of the painting a little better than the potter one. It make more since about the whole painting thing. Good job
