OUR PORTRAIT

Daddy taught me more about drawing than just about anyone I know.I had some
excellent professors in college, but I think the natural gift that my Daddy had
for drawing was passed on down to me. The very first thing he would tell me to do
when I drew something, was to sign my name .He would tell me to "always be
proud of what you do, Becky." He told me that I could do this because God created
me with these abilities to begin with ,and He would allow me to use them to the
best of my abilities. Daddy assured me that everything I drew would stand out
better when I outlined the picture after I finished. Infact, he was a big fan of shading and highlighting everything, because it always made the picture show up better!
In the same manner, God has taken each of us, and molded us with intricate qualities.
He outlined us with the golden character of His grace that sets us apart. We're
shaded with different attributes and personalities, but we're all in the family of
Christ. He highlights us with our own talents and we use them when we share our
testimonies, and our love of God.
When I see what my Lord has done for me, I am shaded with hints of
humility!
I don't have to outline His portrait though, for He is magnificent all by Himself!
The shades of His Glory and the Highlights of His life story, paint a perfect portrait!
The perfect Portrait of a Sinless King!
I'm signing my name on this one too!
Becky
