Monday Motto: BE PART

 

I have been seeing the word ART a lot!

The latest is in a song called The ART of Virtue by Adrienne Young. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=intlQ01X5Lc

We are the creation of God...we are all His ART work.

Eph 2:10 For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

Sometimes I think we all look at things in our own narrow view point that we can not see how to get from here to there. What if when we wanted to break a habit or create within ourselves a new way to do things we thought of it as ART, a masterpiece in the working. Instead of seeing ourselves as flawed or cracked. Instead of being to hard on ourselves, what if we learned to let the brush of our creative mind paint on the canvas of our lives....and if we have an imperfection just work with it!!

PERFECTION what a word....it causes a sense of urgency to get it all right NOW!!

We see perfection as defined : freedom from fault or defect

Eze 28:15

You were perfect in thy ways from the day that you were created, till iniquity was found in thee.

We were ...we are created PERFECT...He made us just the way He wanted us to be...and what was that iniquity that was found...ADAM and Eve didn't listen to what the Lord had to say. They did what they wanted to do!!

 

1Ki 8:61

Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.

 

When we do what the Lord says to do our Hearts are PERFECT!! But Before Christ we couldn't do it on our own so God sent HIM...

 

Hbr 7:19

For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope [did]; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

 

I think the issue we have is the question of "what is perfect?" It is subjected to the opinions and views of people in the world instead of what God calls perfect. Sometimes we put peoples reactions as the standard of if something was right. I can tell you that- that doesn't work at all. Peoples reactions and way of thinking are often formed out of their EGO. So don't base what is perfect by that standard. The ego will tell you this is flawed and that is wrong like looking in a cracked mirror. But when Jesus is your reflection in the mirror it just SHINES the Light!!

 

So go do

 

The Art of Kindness...

 

The Art of Love...

 

The Art of Peace...

 

The Art of Joy...Just fall all over the place trying!! :0)

 

Be PART of Christ Body...being one with HIM gives us the strength to Be P(erfect) ART.

All of us together are a mosaic art piece!! Each piece holding a different angle of God's Image.
