Framed

Our lives are like a canvas that God painted a beautiful picture upon and placed in the world for all to see but the world painted over it many times, with different colors and effects.

Some good, some bad, all with a different brush…

And then Jesus enters in, the Great Restorer of our soul, and He carefully lifts off the Damaged layers and begins to reveal a Unique Masterpiece, seasoned for His Purpose. He smooths over the little flecks of strain and damage to our canvas, revealing a Restored layer to “cure” and adjust to being uncovered.

The Masterpiece could only be achieved by the Blending of the Layers and the Aging of the Paint. The Finished Product takes a Lifetime to Complete...

Restoration causes the Brush Strokes to blend together and reveal a Unique layer forming under the Heavy Pressure of being under all the other layers. Like a Diamond, the Pressure creates Beauty for Ashes and Reflects the Light of the Creator.

Our canvas is Transformed into a Unique, “one of a kind” Masterpiece that God is continuously working on...

When we Surrender to Jesus, He takes this Masterpiece and places a beautiful Frame, created by His Hands, around it. Once the Frame is applied, the Masterpiece is Divinely Protected. No one can apply new Paint without the Master Restorer's permission.

The Frame, built by Jesus, keeps the Masterpiece free of dirt and grime and He takes great care to preserve the Integrity of His Work. He is the Gatekeeper, and no one gets to add to His Masterpiece, unless He allows it!

What a Great Comfort!

Whatever new “paint” is applied to the Scene of my life; if Framed by Jesus, it is only to make the Final Masterpiece more beautiful, even if it goes through a not so pretty phase…

ONCE JESUS FRAMES THE CANVAS OF OUR LIFE WE ARE PROTECTED AND PRESERVED!

No one can Remove or Break the Frame but it can become neglected. If we don’t keep Seeking the Master Restorer of our Soul; the dust, dirt and grime from the world begin to build up, and His Signature becomes unrecognizable!

The Dust on our Bible is directly proportional to the dirt and grime in our lives. When we keep our Bible free of dust by continually Seeking Jesus; He Restores the Masterpiece, Framed by His sacrifice and Preserved for His Glory...
