Lent: Day 7

This is an excerpt from a song by Jars of Clay titled Art in Me:

“In your picture book I’m trying hard to see turning endless pages of this tragedy. Sculpting every move you compose a symphony. You plead to everyone, ‘see the art in me’.”

I love this song because it reminds me that God’s beautiful creation envelopes me, if only I will notice. Indeed, we are all works of art by the true Master. I sometimes just stop what I’m doing and think of His plea: “See the art in me.” And there it is. Always right in front of me, waiting for me to notice: the sea of blue overhead, the sound of leaves tossing about in the wind, the grinning faces and laughter in a house full of children, and my wife’s big brown eyes. Man am I blessed!
