The Painting

Think of a painting...and how its not complete till the artist says its complete. A painting may have little details on it that no other person may even notice...the painter does. The painting is not like any other painting...no one can remake it but the painter. No one knows exactly what he has put into it but the painter. Or its truest secrets...a painting is extravegant. No two paintings are alike exactly. Each painting gives the person viewing it new ideas or new vision. Each painting gives off a new light...and if you look at a painting...you dont have the same opinion about it as another person. Some people see the good side of the painting....some see everything that is wrong with the painting...the way it looks or the way it was made. You need to look at the painting with the painters perspective with their eyes. Then you can see the "real" painting. As the painting gets older it gets appreciated by more people..and has a higher value...the painting is understood. Look at the painting and look at it with an open mind and you will see its true beauty.

lol.... Hazard, you took the words right out of my mouth! Isen't that right cinderella!?! Very well versed, excellent portrait of God and His works of art (a.k.a. us)! Sometimes we see things within a painting that we call 'flaws' or 'imperfections' when God means for them to be there because they speak to someone, give someone hope, dreams, good things. One must see the worth of the peice through the painters eyes! The thing i love is when we bring our mangled paintings, our tattered and torn works of art to Him, He delights over them even though they aren't compareable or even come 1/8th of the way close to His paintings. They are beautiful and have worth in His eyes... and that my friend is heart warming! Fantastic Nikki! Love ya, be blessed!
