He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly,
and to love kindness and mercy, and to humble yourself and walk humbly with your God? Micah 6:8
Dear Friend
As I work on a painting, I reflect on the LORD’s plans for each of us. His desire is not for us to remain in sickness, pain, or heartache. In His boundless grace, He walks with us through every storm.
A painting begins with a blank canvas, cleaned, prepared, and made ready. In the same way, God lovingly takes us as we are, cleansing, shaping, and preparing us for the purpose He has placed in our hearts. With divine artistry, He holds a vision far more significant than we can see, crafting beauty from every brushstroke of our lives.
Perhaps you are in the cleaning phase, where things feel stripped away, or in the early preparation phase, where the picture is unclear. Trust in His process. His hands are steady. His grace is sufficient. His love never fails.
With gratitude, embrace the journey, knowing that He who began a good work in you will complete it. You are His masterpiece in the making.
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you, ” declares the LORD, “ plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
My prayer. Father, I don’t know what the future holds, but I believe You are already there. You are the same yesterday, today and forever. I don’t fear the future because You have a plan for my life. LORD, please take me and make me Your masterpiece. Amen.
God's grace is sufficient for you.
