Mathew 6:25 & Romans 8:28
An abstract painting isn't nearly as random as it appears. Every color is measured for it's opacity, tone, temperature and placement. Every stroke's thickness, texture and breadth is evaluated and placed with tenacious care. I often sit and ponder these things for a length of time, only to have the final decision be a swift flick of a placement. I've already evaluated the perfect tool, color, placement and gesture. It's all nuanced and speaks to the larger composition. I'll keep going at it, in this manner, until it pleases me- my eye and makes sense. Until I look and ponder it, finished, and I'm at peace with all of my creative choices. The final product brings me joy, or at the very least, a sense of realization.
I was reminded today, in study, that our lives are like that. Created, nuanced to God's measured divine will. Nothing is by happenstance but part of his greater design. Blessings, favor and trial. What a beautiful composition.
