LET JESUS DO THE PAINTING!

 

 

I remember the night that I got saved.  It was the

  happiest day of my life!   I can still remember it as

 though it was yesterday.  After I was saved, Jesus 

took me to his studio.  You see, he wanted to do a

 painting of me.  He put me in this nice chair and 

gave me this beautiful Bible.  As I began to read, 

he started to paint.  After a while,  I saw him look 

around the corner of the canvas and say to me 

with a smile,  "Can you hear me beloved one?" 

I  smiled and said,  "Oh  yes Jesus, I can hear you."

I was so happily learning the word of God from 

the master.  But one day I told Jesus,  " I need to

leave the studio."  When I got outside, people were 

running in all directions.  They were in such a hurry

to do whatever they wanted.  After a while, I started 

to miss the love I had with Jesus, so I pushed my head

up against the studio window.  Inside I saw Jesus

 wasn't painting anymore.  I looked and could see

 a tear in his eye as he looked at the chair that was 

empty.  As I started to stand up, I noticed something 

in my hand.  It was Jesus' paint brush!  "How did 

I get this?"  I wondered.  "Oh no!  What have I done?"

  As I came back in the studio,  I tried to tell

  Jesus how sorry I was, but before I could even

 finish he had me in his arms.  Holding me, he told

 me how much he loved me.  As I sat next to him, 

I was able to see the picture he was painting.

I can still hear myself crying out,  "It's beautiful!"

I can see now what you are doing.  Only God could

draw like this.  You have drawn all the believers up 

to now.  We were on this narrow road.  I see all  the

 people you want us to share your love with and to tell

 of the things you've done for them. There are so many 

and the road is so long!  I see we have only a little time

 left to do the work that God wants of us.  "Oh Jesus

 why are we only a little ways down the road?" I turned

 to look at him, and I saw a tear coming down his face.

 And I remembered,  I had left the studio.  I had drawn

my own pictures and did whatever I wanted. "Oh Jesus,

 I understand."  Then he wiped the tears from my eyes!

 

Blessed be the LORD: for he hath
shewed me his marvellous kindness...
Psalms 31:21
 

 
This then is the message which we have
 heard  of him, and declare unto you, that
 God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
 
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive
 ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1 John 1:8
 
If we confess our sins, he is faithful
 and just to forgive us our sins, and
 to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1John 1: 9
 
 
 
"My little children"

these things write I unto you. ...That

your faith and hope might be in God. 

1John 2:1 1Peter 1:21

...That loved us, and washed us

from our sin in his own blood. 

Revelation 1:5
