As an adult teaching a child how to draw we often start them out by connecting the dots of a picture. In these first stages of a young child that does not know how to look beyond what they see it is our place as a parent to teach our children how to develop the image in their mind and then how to believe. Exercising our minds requires effort and discernment to figure out the picture that we have before us. Then once we see the picture it is our place to help God’s children do the same while we learn to add value between the lines.

 Have you ever thought you saw one thing but then as you continued on you began to see something totally different than what you thought at first? Did you look back and recognize all the wasted energy and time that was spent in the picture that you tried to develop in your own mind? Too many times we allow our human nature or Satan to develop a wrong picture due to focusing on what we see and forgetting how God teaches us to look forward and how to believe.  

 Life can be very stimulating when we learn how to connect the dots through listening and applying God’s Word to what we hear and to what we see. Don’t get caught up in the spiritual confusion of human intellect that can cause someone to simply forget how to connect the dots in God’s living art. There is only one true artist in Heaven above and He is the Creator of this living picture in life. He paints with love through His Son Jesus Christ which touches our lives and fills our souls…Amen
