A Colorful Masterpiece

Don't you just love to watch the sunset? I love to see the sky illuminated by beautiful swirls of color...pink, blue, orange, purple. As a kid my dad used to always say that his favorite color was "sky blue pink with purple polka dots". I often wondered how you could even have a color like that! But since then I have had many opportunities to see God's beautiful artwork coloring the sky. I love watching the blue sky turn pink and purple with swirls of clouds!

And what about the autumn leaves? Today was simply BEAUTIFUL watching the leaves blow in the wind. And it wasn't just green leaves....instead it was a swirl of bright orange and yellow leaves, cascading through the air. Even though I dread the thought of the cold snow, I still feel drawn to the beauty of the fall season.

All of this is such a marvelous look at the beauty of God. He takes a beautiful sky...and a strong, tall tree....and He makes them even MORE tantalizing to our eyes. He is the master artist.

But it's not just nature. He can make a beautiful masterpiece of our lives too. He can take the person we are and help us turn into the masterpiece that He wants us to be! His plans far surpass what we can even imagine!

There's a catch, though.....

We have to give Him our lives. He have to give Him control. We have to let Him draw a masterpiece with our lives. And that is only done by letting Him have control of everything.

EVERYTHING??? Are you sure?

Yes, everything. When we release the grasp we have our on lives...on our will...then, and only then will He do more than we can ever imagine. He's a gentlemen. He won't force us to obey Him. He's left that part up to us.

Are you willing to hand over the paintbrush and let God have control? You won't regret it!
