So very true. For one, it's the painting, the stained glass, the liturgy that moves him to worship God --- for another it is the singing of hymns and the fellowship of other believers --- for another, it's a sunrise or when a newborn grabs his finger.

Yes, and all magnificent gifts of the Lord, all praise and thanks be to Him, Who draws us to Himself individually according to each of our own ways and predilections -- which He very well knows in every case.

Some people seem to be drawn to excellent engineering designs, others to poetry, others to horse breeding, whatever. Et cetera. The Truth of God is the very foundation of all these things. And He has a way of reaching every soul -- at least those that are not thoroughly dammed up to His "advances," in advance -- by the Grace of the Holy Spirit.

The Lord of Life speaks every language known to man, even those languages which man has not conceived yet. Who has ears to hear should listen to His Word.

And as you so truthfully say, the Lord's palette is made up of many colors: For what could be said, if all were blended into a single gray mass of gloppy pigment?

Thank you ever so much for writing, Alamo-Girl! May God ever bless you, my dearest sister in Christ.
