Artistic Cropping

Take a "nothing" doodle,

crop it,

play 

with

the

colors

and

maybe

crop some more,
and you may have something.
Maybe not.

Here's the thing, though.

If you have a Master Artist

offer to crop, which means cut down,

your work, that changes it so it's no longer

just your work.

If we hold on to what we think is

good and do not let, even ask,

our faithful

God 

to cut out the parts that 

do not fit His plan,

we will end up 

with just our own work.

Of course,

we would rather have 

His beautiful plan

than what we can

make on our own.

So, when I want

my own way, 

help me to remember this,

please,

LORD.

But now, O LORD, 

thou art our father; we are the clay,

 and thou our potter; 

and we all are the work of thy hand.  

Isaiah 

64.8

 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? 

Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?

Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?  

Romans 9.20 & 21   

I sometimes wish I was 

more of an ornamental vessel.

Silly, me.

God made me for a purpose.

He knows what He's doing. :)
