ART – the expression of the heart.

We are able to discern God’s will through various forms of communication with Him. We learn by listening and practicing His precepts. Prayer and walking with God is more of an art than an equation and its expression is as unique as the artist. Good conversation like art is not merely taught by methodology but is an expression of the heart. Exactly how you walk together and pray is not as important as merely practicing everyday. You are God’s masterpiece and He’s molding you through creative communication. How does the true artist learn to paint, the singer learn to sing or the instrumentalist learn to play? They may start out by copying someone else but it’s not really art until it becomes the expression of ones own heart. So I encourage you to daily seek and find “your thing” – talk and listen, read and write, play, sculpt, paint, draw, dance or sing. The genre is as unlimited as God Himself and could be almost anything. So be free and be the way God intended for you to be and bring forth something individually beautiful for the world to see.

Ps 33:13-15
13 The Lord looks from heaven;
He sees all the sons of men.
14 From the place of His dwelling He looks
On all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 He fashions their hearts individually;
He considers all their works.
NKJV

Eph 2:10
10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
NKJV
