In the last few years I have begun to develop an appreciation and love for visual art. \u00a0I was walking through a museum a few years ago\u00a0when\u00a0a light bulb suddenly went off in my head as I realized what\u00a0billions before me already knew… each painting represented a moment in the life of a soul. \u00a0That day I saw that some had shared a moment of their pain, others had shared a moment of their joy, some\u00a0shared a moment of their fear, and at least one had\u00a0shared a moment of deep understanding, a moment when that soul\u00a0dove into the infinity of\u00a0their present moment and then translated it onto a canvas.<\/p>\n

I cried that day as I walked through the museum feeling humbled and amazed by so many souls laid bare\u00a0before me.<\/p>\n

Tonight as I was reading\u00a0the book Crazy Love<\/strong> by Francis Chan<\/a>, he wrote\u00a0about God’s art throughout creation and interestingly enough I read about this a few weeks ago in Romans<\/a> during a bible study. \u00a0Oh Lord please forgive my inability to quickly grasp what You are trying to tell me… tonight I think Your message finally broke through.<\/p>\n

God\u00a0has bared His soul before us… and oh how AMAZING\u00a0it is!!!<\/p>\n

What more is there to say other than – Thank You, thank You, thank You\u00a0for the Grace to truly see Your Art, Your Heart, Your Soul!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
