God the Artist: From Clay and Pain to Passion and Purpose
In the grand tapestry of existence, God's role as the divine artist emerges not only through the beauty of creation but also in the transformative journey of humanity. This journey, marked by trials and triumphs, mirrors the process of an artist with clay—shaping, moulding, and sometimes starting anew. Through biblical references, we see how God, the ultimate artist, uses both pain and passion to sculpt our lives into masterpieces of His design.
Let us strive to fix our eyes on Jesus who is the leader and perfecter of our faith. (Heb 12:2)
