A true believer sees God in all things regardless of the hand that delivered it.

Not being very artistically inclined ( I do not even trust my tracing ability) however, I do not possess the elements so esteemed by artistic minds. I feel however,unequivocally,that the Lord does work through Christian artists in profound ways. In His creation in each of those He talented, He placed His breath of inspiration and touch of anointing so that its effects would reach the many that glimpse, yes, at the very heart of God. When one yields their talents to the Lord He takes what limited human capacities they have and makes it into something even greater. His delight is to get glory and use vessels of honor that are surrendered to His will and His way. I have seen the limits of my human capacity even at my fleshes strongest points and it cannot compare to the Lord’s enabling wisdom and power given when all is surrendered to Him. His power is made perfect in our weakness and we all have weakness even at our seemingly strongest facets.

Non Christians hence lack the true scope of revelation that is afforded to the believer. There are many nice looking pieces of art that the non-christian can produce but does it lack in all it could be? I believe it definitely does. We will never know however the true capacity of the nice looking art produced by an unbeliever; nor will we ever know the other talents produced by some of the esteemed “greats” in our day and what could have came out of them with God as the focus of their lives. All this gets me thinking about surrendering all I am and all I have to Him for He makes the difference.
