The Painting

A artist begins to paint and he dabs the color black. The brush replies why black , why sorrow, why the pain on what seems to be a white canvas. The artist replies to the brush let me paint without complaining what you don't understand you will in time when the masterpiece is done. The artist begins to dab on the color red on the canvas. Now the canvas complains I don't like this color it reminds me of blood. The artist replies when all the colors are put together you will see a grand design. The artist begins to dab on the color gray. And starts grabbing the other colors at a moment the work looks terrible and as those who are walking by start staring at the painting and start criticizing before the painting is done. They are told by the artist I am not done, the work is not finished. A light blue is dabbed on the painting. And now what seems to be a terrible darkness of random colors starts taking a design that leaves everyone's speechless and amazed at the artwork which many thought was nothing but shame. If one would look at this artwork before he's done , one might criticize as well, and say this artist has no idea what he's painting, he puts, everything all wrong. The picture is all wrong without knowing what it was intended to be. But one does not see the picture that is in the artist's mind , till his painting is complete. And so likewise God is making a painting, a marvelous artwork, that in time we will see that every dab of color was in its right place. Every tear we went through, every heart of pain, is working for a amazing, grand design. A painting so incredible that if one could paint one would not come close to what God has painted with the colors of Our lives.
