Messy

So I had this thought the other day that I often have,"why can't I find some rhythm in life, you know a consistent groove," and I felt God saying to me, "you were never meant to." What?! So I started thinking down those lines of what then was my life supposed to look like...messy? And I remembered that in Ephesians (2:10) it says we are God's workmanship; His poema, a work of art. Artwork can be messy, but as we all know that it can bring so much life into a room when it's complete and hung for all to admire. God's purpose, by any means necessary is to bring His life into the world through our lives; so that when the painting is finished it will show everyone how beautiful His heart is for them. And so now I realize that I will have those character flaws that need adjustment, those doubts about the future that require faith, those ugly sins that I'm still trying to shake, and life can be okay as long as I rest in His perfection and will. Of course it would be nice if the ride wasn't so rough! Blessings.
