CONTRASTS

An artist paints so that people might see.

You share beauty, elevate the imagination, inspire and challenge the senses – and seek to do it all without being blatant or obvious. The good artist will let the viewer discover truth for himself…

God, too, is a Master Artist. And there are aspects of your life and character – good, quality things – He wants others to notice. So without using blatant tricks or obvious gimmicks, God brings the cool, dark contrast of suffering into your life. That contrast, laid up against the golden character of Christ within you, will draw attention… to Him… You are the canvas on which He paints glorious truths, sharing beauty, and inspiring others.

So that people might see Him.

-- Joni Earkeckson Tada in Glorious Intruder
