I’m thinking about Claude Monet’s painting of the Water Garden.  It’s an incredible work of art.  It’s full of brilliant colors, yet, surrounded by dark shades of blacks, blues and greens which totally enhance the lighter shades.

And yes, if we’ll think about his painting, we can picture, and yes, be reminded of the water gardens in our own lives.

So with this thought in mind, it encourages us to be mindful that we have a purpose and design for our life, and yes, how even when we focus on the darker portions of our painting, we’re gently reminded that our God, the Artist of our life, has yes, intentionally allowed the blues and greens and even the grays and blacks, to be brushed on our own canvas for a reason.

Friends, He uses these shadows to make our lives richer.  Look back on past difficulties.

We’ve all have so many we’ve had to deal with, yet, we can now see His perfect handiwork creating a brilliance of color and beauty. all from our pain and suffering, for yes, our Artist, He uses a multitude of techniques in our lives to help us to become the people He intends for us to be.

So, just like the water lilies in Monet’s painting, He keeps the leaves and petals in our lives afloat through the muck, through the wind , and yes, through the rain that are simply part of the storms we have, and yes, will face.

The fact is, water lilies survive April showers and worse,  So will we.  We’ll survive with His help and His grace . For yes, our hearts are full of gratefulness to Him, who is love, and yes, loves us big.

And no matter the time in our lives, we can count on this one simple truth .. haha .. oh yeah .. love wins period

“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord you God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior”  Isaiah 43:1-3
