You Are His Mona Lisa

 

 

The popular, well known, and highly valued Mona Lisa as we all know was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci during the Italian Renaissance. Da Vinci, was a skilled painter, sculptor, inventor, engineer, musician, and also mastering in many other fields. It is known that Da Vinci worked on this highly acclaimed masterpiece for over 3 years. An expert like him would only know why. To this date the Mona Lisa painting is valued over $600 Million. Such time, devotion, technique, thought, meaning, study, etc was dedicated to this piece. It wouldn’t just take anyone to paint something like this and have a high value, but because Da Vinci was such an expert, the value if this piece is quiet rational. Anyone can create a painting, anyone can scribble on a paper and call it a masterpiece to their eyes, but not everyone knows the technique to a successful masterpiece. There was something that Da Vinci must have known for him to linger on this piece for years.

The art of perfection.

Many times we doubt our existence. We often question the reason we are alive. We doubt the Master. He created us to His image. We were chosen before the creation of the world. In Ephesians 1:4 it says    

         For he chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. (NIV)

Before God, we were already made to His perfection. Before the creation of the world, we were already thought of. God then set us in the perfect timing for His purpose to fulfill in our lives. Just like Da Vinci, it took years for the masterpiece to develop into its real purpose. Eventually, slowly and surely the masterpiece grew in value and fame.

You are the masterpiece of the skillful, professional, and omnipotent creator. Created with such love, purpose, technique, thought, and meaning, You are with no doubt one of God’s greatest masterpieces.
