The Master Artist 

Thank you for joining me on this hectic journey we call life and for being a part of Bette’s Box of Blessings! As you probably already know, the contents of Bette’s Box of Blessings are meant to bless not only yourself, but others as well. Either way, I think you will find great value in each product…not only dollar value, but more importantly, spiritual value.  

I’ve always been envious of people who are naturally creative. The art-inspired person who can sit down and easily draw a portrait or a landscape. Or the writer who can describe a normal everyday experience in such a way that it excitedly draws you in and makes you feel like you were there. Or the person who, when facing a problem, can creatively and easily think of several “outside the box solutions” when all my mind draws is a blank.

One day when I was selfishly questioning God as to why he didn’t make me creative, He took me to Paul’s letter to the people of Ephesus where Paul wrote what I chose as this month’s theme verse: 

"For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

God reminded me that He created me to be me, not someone else. And He created me to do things that He Himself prepared for me long before I thought of doing it. One thing we know, God doesn’t make mistakes!

As I was studying that passage, here’s what jumped out at me. In the verse just before our theme verse, Paul is reminding us that we are saved by God’s grace through our faith in Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that it’s not by our own works, so that no one can boast. That grace that saves us, and the talents we do have(to do good works), are gifts from Him, the Master Artist.
