Paintbrush

"God has a paintbrush and he is painting our life out on a canvas and oh how wonderful and beautiful it is, but then we think we can do better so we take the paintbrush from God and we start painting our lives. Pretty soon the canvas is no longer beautiful but a brown smeared mess, but God loves us and forgives us and gently takes the paintbrush back and starts all over painting a wonderful picture of our lives. As long as I allow God to paint my life it will be perfect, but if I take control I will only mess things up."

One of my friends said that to me and wow how profound and powerful it is because of the truth that is in it!
