Lost in the colors of the sunset
Depth and light painted onto a canvas of grey and blue
Captured by the beauty of the living picture that morphs with the setting sun.
Yet this transforming composition, new every morning and night is not the greatest of His creation.
It is me.
And you.
Created with passion, immeasurable depth, potential, creativity, purpose, and love.
His greatest brush strokes found on the wall of our heart, and in the strands of our hair.
He calls us His masterpiece.
The world will strip away the artistry if we let it.
The lies whisper convincingly shading us with doubt
We even deceive ourselves - minimizing the true beauty He's painted within us
But His brush strokes can not be erased, His Word can not be destroyed.
We are His masterpiece
We are His greatest work
And His greatest love
If the world has stripped away His strokes - He will repair you
If the lies have made you doubt - He will reassure you
If you are deceived - He is faithful
He is an amazing artist
And
You are a masterpiece

This is beautiful! Isn't it an awe-inspiring feeling to realize that WE are THE Creator's masterpieces?! I love that you wove in reassurance at the end of the piece, because sometimes we doubt. But He is always faithful.
I read this post on another blog earlier in the week, and it came to mind as I was reading your post, so I thought I'd share it with you: http://comewhatmayandloveit.com/amazing/
(Did you make the mixed media art piece? It's wonderful!)
What a beautiful piece of poetry! And a beautiful reminder that we are His masterpieces, made by a wonderful and loving Creator. So glad I found it this morning. Thanks for the FMF visit!
Love this! Such beautiful words that creates a beautiful image. God is the Artist of all artists. Hopping over from FMF!
I love what you wrote. I am going through a tough time right now, and this is a timely reminder to me of where to keep my focus.
My favorite line is: But His brush strokes can not be erased, His Word can not be destroyed.
Praise God for that truth!
