The New Canvas


Will you? That question has popped up time and time again. Last night the question came again. I am at a place where everything is new and the palette of my life is being painted on a new canvas, one that has not been painted on before and one I do not know. I am at a place where I can embrace this as I hear, "If I open the door, will you walk through it?" But, will I? It seems so much easier to try to modify, repaint, remix the colors on that old canvas, making small edits thinking the end result will be lead me to that new picture to display. I have been given perspective for something fresh, something new...and if I am willing this canvas will be filled from corner to corner with the new things my Creator has waiting for me. I know as I begin to pick up the brush and put some color on it that I will be guided...and though I can not see what the canvas will look like in the end I am willing to trust that it will be a masterpiece designed in His image in which I was a vessel. Will you walk through that door? Will you pick up that brush? Are you willing?
