"God, I love the way you color in my world. You make everything sing. So here is a picture of what my life will look like. See? I'd like you to fill it in and make it your masterpiece.
"Wait... You're...You're coloring it outside the lines...wait. It doesn't look right! That's not how my life's suppose to look at all! What are You doing, Lord?"
"My child, if you want it to be my masterpiece, you will have to trust me with it completely. Even when I draw outside your lines. Will you do that? Can you trust me with the design of your life?"
"Yes, Lord, I will. I do."
It was hard at first to watch Him do the unexpected with the picture of my life. At first I winced to watch the lines disappear under His colors and other parts of the picture cut out. But I after much watching, trusting, conversation, and waiting I saw things start to take form. It was... Beautiful. Free. Alive.
I soon saw the picture of what my life was to look like. It was the most precious masterpiece of all. It was a picture of my Salvation's face. The picture of my life was to be the image of Jesus. <3
