On His canvas, the Artist of Perfection paints sky blue to represent the peace that He has brought to your life and to show the peace that you will bring to others by sharing His word. His next strokes are bright yellow which is a symbol of the joy He has created within you, wooing you and sustaining you with spiritually encouraging friends. With His joy you will serve as an encourager to others. He continues with a rich green to celebrate your spiritual-an unyielding thirst for His teachings. Your thirst will influence others to seek Him and to desire what you have found in Him. The brilliant strokes of red signify the intense love that He has for you and you for Him. Because of His love, you will extend unconditional love and a helping hand to others. Next, the delicate strokes of pink whisper your vulnerability, physically, mentally, and emotionally, as a child of God. Your vulnerability will prove to be an example to others as you share your testimony letting them know they are not alone in their journey. The bold strokes of orange laugh away your life's worries and troubles while the deep purple reminds you of your need for repentance along your winding journey. Exemplifying faith and admitting your transgressions will serve as a reminder to everyone around you that He is always with us and will never forsake us. The light strokes of gray blur the lines of right and wrong and show your extension of forgiveness, grace and mercy to others, just as He does for us. The mellowing brown denotes your release of pride and envy, replacing them with your contentment to just be you and to enjoy what you have. The feathering silver exhibits your freedom from judgment while the elegant gold emphasizes your ever present beauty. Being secure in your lot in life and confident in who you are enables you to concentrate on what is truly important in this life rather than striving to fill an insatiable gap in your self worth-what an example to others helping them see that He is our only judge and in His eyes we are beautiful. Finally, the canvas is almost completely covered except for two remaining areas, making room for two more colors-namely two of the most important and the most varied of colors. The deep, ominous black clearly speaks of the death of your worldliness and the brilliantly, glowing white delightfully reveals the purity, wholesomeness, holiness, righteousness, and completeness that you now enjoy as a woman of God.
