God’s Masterpiece

Masterpiece: a work of outstanding artistry, skill, or workmanship

So if this morning it seems like you are being painted into a corner with folks who are a bit odd just relax. It may be that today God will apply some brush strokes of a new color in you to show His amazing love to a wondering world!

Psalms 139:23‭-‬24 NLT
