Black and White

                                     Have you ever seen a painting, and you don't know how on earth an artist does that!? How they can just look at a blank canvas and see a beutiful picture, or a black and white coloring page, and the little kid turns it into something beautiful...something only they see in their imagination, no matter how it turns out?  All they gotta do is fill it in! It's amazing! I love to draw, and I want to get into painting yet, but still, I'm not that good! When I see the Mona Liza, or just a bunch of scribbles with a picture or emotion hidden in the details, or the mood it gives out just by the different use of colors...it's incredible. That's how God is and does His work. Only it's better! He fills in our heart, our life....is a black, and white picture, or a blank canvas. If He doesn't fill in the the picture or create something beutifull in our empty lives, we are nothing to look at. We are not worth even a penny! God created the world we live in. And do we even stop and give Him the credit? Or thank Him for letting us use His painting? Or for allowing us to ruin His picture, by adding garbage!? Such as; bars, littering, drugs, evil, hate, blood, war, famine and so on?...He died on the cross, to give us freedom to do what we want. But we need to realize is that what we want isn't always good, or used for good. God wants to erase all the black smudges on our canvas, becasue the Devil tricks us and claims that he "accidently" spilled over the black paint in our lives. Just like a painter starts over on his painting, with even the slightest mistake...God is willing to erase the black smudges and start over, when we mess up and put black smudges in our life...are you willing to allow God to paint a masterpeice in you?
