The Artist & His Brush

The Master Artist, God, has the perfect plan for each of us, each of our canvases. Despite the imperfections that are inherent in our canvas, His sacrifice overcomes all flaws, painting a masterpiece in His image. These ongoing works of art are our lives.

Some paintings are meticulously detailed, while others remain abstract. They range in myriad colors, composition and subject matter. God adjusts the chroma, from vivid, bold colors to pale, muted tones, reflecting our personalities. Each is a masterpiece in progress, and no two are alike.

While The Artist has predestined the final masterpiece, He provides Brushes in our lives that add their stroke of color. These Brushes use the palettes He provides to bleed His colors onto our canvas in their own unique stroke, leaving a lasting impression on our masterpiece. Because of the Brushes’ devotion to The Artist, He equips them as artists in their own right, on earth.

In my life, you are His Brush. God has used you to paint His will into my life. I am blessed that with each stroke of color; through conversation, your love, support, and encouragement, you’ve added to my masterpiece. The time we’ve spent together has impacted me in so many ways. You have enriched my masterpiece in my view of God, love, marriage, and life. You truly are a Brush that The Artist has used in not only the painting of my life, but in more lives than you’ll ever know.

Thank you for teaching me how to paint, in more ways than one, while I visited you in Florida and known you throughout these years. You’ve given me devotion, love, patience, and support as one of your own grandchildren, immediately welcoming me into the family. I will now carry your artistry and unique stroke as His Brush into my own family members’ masterpieces. Thank you for being His Brush in my life.

I love you.

Love,
Emilia
