Freedom

The Lord is teaching me to run with freedom and not fear. I shiver at the thought of making a wrong stroke with the brush, but God shows me that He is the Artist and Painter of my life. What looks like a mistake on the canvas is truly the beauty of a larger picture that I have yet to see. It comes down to Trust.

Landscape
I get caught up in the details.
The big picture escapes me
And Perfection drives my mind.

Freedom calls, but I freeze.
One foot forward is all it takes
But I fear a mistake.

It's only a brush stroke.
Yet the flowers bloom and unfold
As the layers come in view.

Philippians 3:12-14
"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
