Tattoo Artist

Have you ever seen pictures of someone with the most horrendous looking tattoo and watched a tattoo artist come along and add to it and eventually change the picture into something beautiful? Aren’t you amazed at how something that looks so bad in the beginning can look so neat when they are done? 

God does this in our lives every single day! I’m sure we have all had times when we have managed to make a horrible mess of our lives and we don’t believe that there is any way that it can be fixed, God somehow turns it into something good. It may not happen overnight and sometimes it may even be years down the road, but He will show us that He is fixing it. The most amazing thing is when we start to see the puzzle pieces of a mess we made in our lives years ago start to all fit together. Yes, His artistry can turn something ugly into something beautiful. We just have to be patient until He is done painting the picture!

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted

to proclaim freedom for the captives

and release from darkness for the prisoners,

to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor

and the day of vengeance of our God,

to comfort all who mourn,

and provide for those who grieve in Zion—

to bestow on them a crown of beauty

instead of ashes,

the oil of joy

instead of mourning,

and a garment of praise

instead of a spirit of despair. 

Isaiah 61:1-3
