The God of love sees a beauty in us that we cannot see in ourselves.  The Great Artist is painting an unfolding picture as we yield to Him the canvas.  He arranges contrasting colors in the painting that did not come from our imagination.  The circumstances of life fling paint on the canvas that causes us to think it is ruined.  But the Great Artist is not stopped in His work.  Out of disarray He paints design. Out of the ugly He brings beauty.

“Your vibrant beauty has gotten inside us— you’ve been so good to us! We’re walking on air!  All we are and have we owe to GOD, Holy God of Israel, our King!” Psalm 89:17-18 (MSG)
