art is personal

I find myself not wanting to write about the every day.
But I want to write about the pink strip of blush looping around the entire sky.
Dusk.
Surrounded by powder blue that deepens at the ends of the earth, and the beginnings of a new night. The sunset that God has painted.
Do you think He paints them for us? Maybe each sunset he paints is specifically for someone.
All the while, you enjoy them, but one day there will be this spectacular show of stillness in the sky, and it makes your heart explode, and melt.
Because God so intimately knows you.
He knows how to take all the things you find beauty in, and combine them into a live masterpiece just to stir you,
make you laugh,
motivate you.
I hope we all get to see at least one of those sunsets in our lives.
There are no accidents in God's creation.
Look at the tree outside your window,
or the way a sunset looks every night.
Look at yourself;
in these things we find His masterpiece, the things He delights in, and the things that can glorify Him.

You are art.

Art is personal.

You are personal to God.
