Canvas

About this book

You are called to be a portrait of God's Grace!The redeemed are given a unique and glorious gift at salvation. God gives us a blank canvas purchased and cleansed by Christ. The Father longs to paint a portrait of His grace on the canvas of our lives. The palette is adorned with the unique colors of our journey with Jesus. The vibrant colors of spiritual victories are cast alongside the somber, foundational hues of our adversity. We enjoy life's mountaintops, but it is in the valleys of suffering God frames our portrait. The Holy Spirit masterfully uses every experience as brushstrokes on our masterpiece. Our story is unique, but our portrait should be recognizable to all who gaze upon its beauty-it's Jesus. The Father has commanded us to develop our portrait in the safe place of community in His church. God calls us to display our grace portrait in the art gallery of life. He has strategically placed us to share our gospel story with those who desperately need to see it. If you belong to Jesus, you have a portrait to paint! My prayer is that the pages of Canvas will guide and inspire you in this incredible journey of faith.(God) Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble with the comfort which we ourselves are comforted by God. (2 Corinthians 1:3-4)
