Let us paint a
picture
Have you ever gone for an art exhibition and then
heard a lot of people exclaiming and cooing over this beautiful piece of art.
You walk over to also examine it with rapt attention. However, when you get
there you see absolutely nothing. You close your eyes and then open them to
stare at a painting of green and orange. It has no form it is just green and
orange. You are told that this is an abstract painting and then you hear
someone say that they see peace engulfed with a bit of danger and then you
wonder where they got that from. However, in order to blend in you also say you
see a bit of this and that and then quietly walk away and wonder if you are in the
wrong profession. I can do that, I can just throw a few colours together and
then call it an abstract design. Well, before you also dream of changing
professions let us redirect our thoughts to the correlation between the
painting and real life.
Do you know that every day you add a few drops of
paint to this lovely picture called life? You add a bit of black, white, orange
and then a shade of yellow. You move on to the next colour and it continues.
Life is a painting. Some view it as fun and yet others see only hurt deep
within.
What have you been painting? What will people say when they view the picture of
your life? Do they see happiness? Joy and the fruits of the spirit of do they
just see gloom? We are the architects of our destiny and faith. Be intentional as you paint this picture called YOUR LIFE and ensure that you add a bit of sunshine to it daily through the joy of knowing christ and living for him alone. Now let's get to work and start painting...
