The Artist

How God Uses Every Drop of Your Experience to Paint His Masterpiece

Here's what master painters know that most people miss.


You don't waste a single drop.


My goal is like someone with a paint-soaked brush—wringing out every drop of color to

Create something beautiful.


That's how I see life.


Every ounce of potential. Every opportunity. Every interaction. Every person I get to

speak life into. Every skill I get to learn. Every moment I get to make someone's day

greater.


I won't stop until I've wrung every drop of purpose out of it.


Here's what most people don't understand about preparation:

What feels like overwhelm is actually God's art class.


Those times when I thought I was drowning in tasks and duties?

 

That wasn't chaos.


That was God crafting my life like a master artist, creating this beautiful piece of artwork He's

going to use to move His kingdom forward.


Every challenging moment was a brushstroke.


Every overwhelming season was Him mixing the perfect shade for what's coming next.


I've known since I was a kid that I was here to give glory to God. I just never knew how.


Walking home from grade school, crossing Broadway Street, heading to Wood Street—I

could hear Him saying, "You're going to touch the world."


Here I am years later, still as excited as that day to fulfill what's been promised.


When people think "touch the world," they think grand stages and massive audiences.


I think of someone just like me, looking to find their way.


That's what He's called me to. Whether it's the masses or just one person—fulfillment

comes in helping someone discover who they are in Him.


I'm just the vehicle passing by, telling everyone about this man named Jesus and

providing tools to help them clear away what's been cluttering their canvas.


Making room for Him to take center stage, where He'll create a masterpiece of their life in

ways they could never imagine.


Here's the beautiful truth: God doesn't waste anything.


Not your pain.


Not your struggles.


Not your overwhelming seasons.


He's an artist, and artists use everything.


Are you letting God use every drop of your experience to create His masterpiece, or

Are you wasting the paint He's given you?


Ready to stop wasting the paint and let God create His masterpiece through your life?
