No Blank Canvas
Episode description
When the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art opened in 2011 in Arkansas, the vast sum of money spent on art caught some off-guard. One painting in particular, “Kindred Spirits,” was sold to Alice Walton for the museum for $35 million dollars!
It’s a beautiful painting, for sure. Two men are standing on a bluff, overlooking a scene of mountains and a river.
Some might have an issue with the price of the painting, but Walton felt the scene was priceless and wanted others to enjoy it.
Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”
We are of infinite worth to our Savior! He came to rescue us from a life of terror and bleakness. He takes us to a place of beauty and calm.
We are no blank canvas to God.
Let’s pray.
Lord, your creative powers are beyond our reach, but you let us enjoy it all! Thank you for your gifts, God, that show us just how much we mean to you. In Jesus’ name, amen.
