Good Words for Today: May 15

We are like ants crawling across a painting by Rembrandt. We crawl across the dark brown and think all of life is dark brown. Then we hit green and think, “Oh, this is better. Now all is green.” But soon comes the dark blue and then a splash of yellow, a streak of red, and then another patch of brown. On we journey, from one color to another, never realizing that God is painting a masterpiece in our lives using all the colors of the palette. One day we will learn that every color had its place and nothing was wasted or out of place.
