The Painting

One of my friends recently struggled with wanting to know the end and what God had in store for her. I didn't know how to answer since, I don't know the end results either, so I simply gave her this analogy. All of our lives are like a painting with God as the artist. When God paints He paints with slow, deliberate strokes never making a single mistake. We don't know what the picture is going to look like nor can we rush our artist, but the end result is worth the wait. The final picture is a breathtakingly beautiful masterpiece that reflects the God who made and loves each and everyone of us equally and without hesitation and only wants the best for us. Like it says in Matthew 6 31-34, "So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your Heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
