I haven't painted once since I was a freshman or sophomore in high school. Some quick background information; I used to spend many hours drawing, shading, painting, critiquing my own drawings and sometimes paintings. Most of my paintings were in art class, yet still my own.
Tonight I picked up a paintbrush and attacked a crisp, blank canvas. I have to admit it was quite intimidating at first. How do I make this blank canvas beautiful? Do I have what it takes to create something that is worth putting on my wall? I didn't realize you had to have confidence in yourself to simply put paint on a canvas.
I had a couple of words mixed with a variety of vibrant colors that popped! It was an adventure to say the least. I was amazed that once I made the first stroke the ideas started to flow. No wonder God loves us more than we can imagine. We are His creation. We were once His blank canvas that turned into a literal masterpiece; intricate, colorful, textured, and powerful. I am God's masterpiece.
I am His creation. As I sat there and added colors upon colors I kept thinking, "This is mine." It brings me to God and that I am His. I am unique, like non other. For some reason that thought hasn't left my mind for about a month. God created me, then sent His son out to buy me that I could have eternal life hanging on His wall showing all His glory!
Anyways, those are some thoughts running through my brain. I forgot how fun painting can be. Not a burden...more enjoyable. Fun to see what you come out with and if you like it or not. Try it. Sit down, and paint away. Enjoy!
