Tiny globs of color

I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. (Psalm 139:14)

 When the life of a follower of Jesus is lived as Jesus intended it to be, it becomes a thing of beauty. Being a Christian and having a relationship with God should be something that permeates our daily experiences, is integrated into our decisions, and brings color to our perceptions of ourselves, others, and this life.
 Like a beautiful painting, a Christian’s greatest glory is often made up of countless little things. The tiny globs of color in the painting that appear to be so insignificant when viewed up close become breathtakingly beautiful when seen in their totality. In the same way, the countless expressions of God’s love shared with others in the course of a Christian’s life may at times appear to be insignificant in themselves, yet God sees them in the context of the totality of a life that glorifies Him, and He revels in their beauty.
 As our lives become more centered around God, He adds more sparkle to our eyes, more bounce to our step, and gives more strength in our weakness and more grace in times of struggle, loss, or suffering.
As our dependence on Him grows, He enhances the joy of His Spirit that overcomes our sorrow. —Maria Fontaine [1]

The act of faith is more than a bare statement of belief. It is a turning to the face of the living God. —Christopher Bryant
