GOD...THE ARTIST

There is something that I have learned about art. It takes many forms and I have found the reason why. Art can be a release of emotion. For some, it can be an ever faithful companion. When you cannot put into mere words what you want to say then you can paint it on a canvas, sing it in a song, act it out on stage, play its melody on an instrument of choice, or even perhaps stir it into a home-cooked meal. But, who created art? Was it just always there? How did it develop if it had a begininng? Here is the answer...
God created art. It has always been, because God has always been. It has no beginning or end, because God has no begininng or end.
God gave us this gift we call art. After all, the greatest artist of all time created us! Look at the complexities of the human body, the leaves on the trees (how they change their colors), or even the waves of an ocean. The creation glories its maginificent Creator! God not only took the time to create such artisitic forms, but He loved His masterpiece so much that He was willing to pay the greatest price for it. He "took us off the market," so to speak. Rather than just putting us out on display for the highest bidder, He kept us to Himself. We are not merely an item for purchase, but jewels in God's gallery. The human soul is God's most prized possesion. Rather than just placing us on this earth to give Him pleasure and companionship, He made a way so that we may have eternal life in Heaven with Him. How wonderful God is!
Michaelango, Picasso, Courbet, or any number of famed artists cannot hold a candle to the greatest artist of all time-ALMIGHTY GOD!
