Picture

“…and the word became flesh and dwelt among us.”-John chap.1
A painter can change a person’s life without uttering a single syllable. God, the master artist speaks to us each and every day. A man cannot fathom the infinite omnipresence of God until he stands on the shore and watches the sea pale in comparison. He cannot know the essence of humility until he lies beneath the stars and realizes how small and insignificant he is in the grand scheme of things. He will not know his creator until he bows down in humble adoration to that power that is bigger than himself and cries out “what is man that you are mindful of him?”
Nature is a fleeting shadow through the window of a man’s soul. Until he recognizes the form of whom that shadow belongs to and opens the door and allows him to illuminate the recesses of his soul he will forever be a stranger to his creator. A man is intimate with God when he can feel his caress in the breeze that ruffles his hair, and can see his face shine upon him as the sun rises above the horizon.
The most effective and impactful form of communication is not the use of words to express a thought or idea, but the use of words to paint a picture that illustrates that thought or idea. We that know the Truth have a responsibility to express it.
