The Paintbrush (P)

"I have a destiny you can walk in," declares the Lord (Ephesians 2:10), "but it doesn't mean that your dreams aren't a part of it." For as an artist uses a paintbrush and paints a picture, so also he can give that paintbrush to his child, and have the child add to the picture as well. And it may seem that the child shouldn't be painting because he might mess it up, yet maybe it is that child's very touch that can add even more beauty to his father's artwork. In the least, as the child grows older, he will know how to paint better, and his increased skill will allow him to start painting like the father paints. The son making masterpieces would never have happened if the father never gave his child the paintbrush and let him experience it while he was younger. I feel God saying to feel free to try out the paintbrush, because he gave you one, and he already knew your ability level."
