When studying art, you’ll find many commonalities among painters. Generally their best works take the most time. Also, those great works generally didn’t escape being changed. Most times, the thing they start painting changes; they delete something, or completely change another. Pablo Picasso said “Art is the elimination of the unnecessary”.
I’ve heard it quoted many times when somebody asked a great scupltor “How do you sculpt a lion?”. The sculptor responded “I start with a big block of stone, and chisel away everything that’s not a lion.”
We are works of art.
I hope every day Jesus continues to paint my life and sculpt away everything that's not part of Him.
Chances are, if you’ve failed many times, you’re getting ready to be a champion.
Failure = future success.
When we let God paint our life, we won’t understand every stroke of his paint brush. We won’t get every color painted. But we’re a work in progress.
Let God work on you. Let Him erase a few things.
Let Him paint new lines.
Let Him create a masterpiece.
