Paintings.

John 10:7-10
 7 Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. 9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.[a] They will come in and go out, and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.


Many people see God as restricting, expecting his people to live a gray life like your first painting, full of rules, with all colour removed. 
Jesus came to give us all a full, vibrant, multicoloured life. Life in all its fullness. Think of all the blessing that knowing Jesus brings. See those blessings interwoven in the picture, contributing to this wonderful picture. Imagine another painting. It's colourful and beautiful. See those blessings interwoven in the picture, all contributing to its beauty.


Thank God for his rich gift of creative, abundant, vibrant life.
