Thank you so much for sharing your insights and views!

Truly, God is like a master artist to me, permitting our differences and working it all together for the good!

Some truly are like sapphires and some rubies and so on – and as you say the important part is that each of us follow the Spirit. (Romans 8)

And I assure you, dear brother in Christ, striving to be a diamond despite the overwhelming likelihood of failure, is precisely what the Spirit leads me to do.

But we are each different, like different colors in a master work of art. That, I assert, is the language of art.

My gift of the Spirit (I Cor 12) is encouragement, a Barnabas rather than a Paul – and the apostle I most closely identify with is John, and the church, Philadelphia. That is probably why I have this particular leading in the Spirit.

But it is altogether beautiful that we are different.

Praise God!

Maranatha, Jesus!

AMEN!

And you . . .

oh yes, buggy bears . . .

uhhh . . .

God pours Himself through you masterfully and it's wonderful that you cooperate so well.

So there!

I truly concur.. God is indeed a Master Artist..
Our God with multiple personality's don't seem to be an artist. .
But is indeed an artist in multifarious ways..

Our lives are "some" of his paints and medium and canvass..

What a plan..
The Universal Architect and at the same time the Universal Archetype.. through Jesus..
An amazing display to observe..

I pity the fool that misses any of it...
The Universal Canvass is enormous... yet microscopic..
Is God cool or WHAT?... What a "guy" this God..
