God the Artist


Dali. Da Vinci. Van Gogh. Matisse. Monet. Picasso.
Renoir. Rembrandt. O'Keeffe. Raphael.

people i just mentioned above are known everywhere in this world
for the masterpieces they've created.

but i know a greater artist that
surpasses all imagination, inspiration, and intuition.
His name is God.

His very design and blueprint
is flawless, perfect, and whole.
He created the heavens and the earth,
the stars and the sky,
the sun and the moon,
the land and the waters,
and everything in it.

but above all,
He was most pleased when He created me and you.

His masterpiece is me.
His masterpiece is you.

He is delighted in me as He is delighted in you.

He expects us to be up to par of the value we were created of.
we are priceless
because we were created in His Image.
we are valuable
because we were bought at the cost of His Son's life.

we are made the way we are because that was His very design.
He meant to create me this way.
He meant to create you that way.

He has a purpose. He knows what He's up to.

i was a physiological science major at ucla.
the knowledge and information was so overwhelming....
the people competing with me are amazingly intelligent....
there were many times when i was stressed out.
but i NEVER wanted to quit my major.
the very reason is because i was always fascinated by
God's perfect design in everything we are.

all the cells, tissues, and organs work together
so that we may have life.
although cells are the tiniest element,
they are the most complex.
God made it that way.
He knows why He made certain things some way.
because that's the best for us.

i've been a prideful artwork of God.
when He wanted to paint the blues,
i told Him i want more oranges.
when He wanted more reds,
i told Him i want more green.
when He wanted purple,
i told Him no... we need yellow.

when He desires to paint me white,
i continue to indulge myself in black.
staining the canvas.

i don't know anything.
i am not skillful nor masterful.
who am i to tell God what i want in my life?
as i humbly lay down my pride,
i ask the ultimate virtuoso and connoisseur of my life
to paint and design my life the way He wills.

i know the result and the final product
will be phenomenal.
i believe that my life then
will be unfathomably filled with blessings.
i am certain that this
will surpass all artistic value, craftsman and workmanship.

because my God is
flawless, perfect, and whole.
remember.
He created the Universe from Nothing.

Indescribable

verse 1
From the highest of heights
to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall
to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique
in the song that it sings
All exclaiming


verse 2
Who has told every lightning bolt
where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses
laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and
gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us
the coolness of night
None can fathom


Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky
and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees
as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart
and You love me the same
You are amazing God
You are amazing God
