The Canvas

Vision of The Canvas

I see a blank white canvas on an easel. Paint of many different colors was being splattered onto it. The paint was all over the canvass except near the edges. The edges were still blank white.

Then the Painter, who is a master Artist, takes His brush and begins to add distinction, definition, shape and form to the paint that was just splattered on the canvas. He begins to add accents and highlights and shadow where he desires and where He sees that the painting needs it.

God is that Master Artist and He is making a masterpiece of you. You may only look and see a messy blob of paint on that canvas. But God is looking at the image He has in His mind. The image He had when He began to create this masterpiece. He is a Master Artist!

Remember; do not look at the paint on the canvas. For all the while the Artist is working with the paint; it is not the paint He is concerned about, but the canvas. It is the canvas that becomes His masterpiece, not the paint. You are that canvas and He is making a masterpiece out of you.

Don’t be discouraged by looking at the paint.

Philippians 1:6 (NKJV)
being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;
