Is art really what w...Good stuff to chew on, Tim. <br /><br />Is art really what we make of it? Is beauty in the eye of the beholder? Who decides what is "good" art?<br /><br />Since we humans are all works of art created by THE Creator, why are we not all created the same? Looking the same? Feeling the same? Acting the same? Thinking the same? We're all unique designs and different expressions of what God has deemed beautiful and "art." Yet we all have the same value and worth in his eyes.<br /><br />Someone who is unattractive or not beautiful (inside or out) to one person might be someone who is "WOW, this is great art!" to another. Someone who is annoying and obnoxious to another person might be exquisite and lovely to the next. <br /><br />As humans, we're not inanimate objects, and we weren't created to just be unchanging, bumps on a log. We live, we move, we think. And so that means we are constantly changing and evolving works of "art."<br /><br />So sometimes I am obnoxious and annoying and sometimes I am exquisite and lovely. Depends on who's around me and what they think or are measuring me against or depends on if I am living my life in accordance with God's Word. And if the latter, some people might STILL deem me "annoying" rather than "lovely." And CAN they really judge me or see me or determine my value and worth in the same way that God does?<br /><br />Hopefully, I am letting go of my own paint brush, sculptor's tools or the pen and ink and asking God to mold me and paint me and write me into what he wants me to be and what he deems "good" art.<br /><br />Anyway, don't know where I'm going with this really. Just some thoughts along the way.Laura MacCorkle ...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02963452243695136822noreply@blogger.com
