God paints a picture of each of His saints; the first brush strokes are made when their knees doth bend. Each saint is a unique portrait, painted by God the Father, of a hue of His own special blend; Each saint requires God’s personal brush stroke to fashion a character to His delight. Each brush stroke can vary; some effecting painful admonition, some blessing the soul, all pleasing to His sight. From God’s Palette, comes a beautiful portrait; a peculiar work, always wrought for the good Of each of His saints that love Him, to all those whom He calls, who follow Him as they should. We are the apple of God’s Eye, the object of His Son’s love, the product of His shed blood. Our souls has He purchased; we are no longer our own, we are bought with a price by the crimson flood. Each portrait has a background as different as each of God’s saints that receives His Son in salvation. Some backgrounds speak of poverty, some of privilege, others of a plight of desolation. God’s brush applies its colors from His Palette of grace and mercy; more richly to those who are weak. His colors increase in brilliance, His art work in value, of those whose background was the most bleak. The Master’s Hand has produced many priceless treasures down through the years. Many broken lives have been rescued; in many eyes, God has painted sparkles that had tears. All of His Creations are priceless, one of a kind; His unique Finger Print is on each one. Every one of God’s Masterpieces will be on display in Heaven; the curator of His Gallery is God’s Son.
