You see, I have had issues with my weight for as long as I can remember. I have very low self esteem, I am very self conscious. I make fun of my own weight all of the time. I am very insecure.
Then I heard this song. I was reminded of Picaso and Rembrandt.....famous artists from the past. They made beautiful works of art. Imagine going to the Smithsonian Institute to an art exhibit there to see some long lost treasure of one of these artists. The museum workers unveil the long lost piece to the oooh's and aaaah's of the people gathered there.
Do they say "Wow, look at that frame"......no, they are looking at the beauty that is held within the frame. It is the same with my own self. If people really love me and care about me, they will see my heart, not this old body.
I am a Masterpiece of Mercy, created by my Heavenly Father.
Take a minute to listen to the words of this song. It is really beautiful.
"Masterpiece of Mercy" lyrics
He knew what I was when He made me
He saw the sinner I’d become
Yet He knew He had grace that could save me
His latest work of art had just begun
He started with an old dirty canvas
My sin had left me tattered, bent, and marred
Then this artist turned His light upon my sadness
And began to wash away the blackest part
When all the stains were gone He started painting
With colors that I’d never seen before
Then with joy He was ready to display me
To show the world what the Cross was for
Chorus:
A masterpiece of mercy; a miracle of grace
When the master sees one hurting
And wipes the pain away
The canvas of the artist
Becomes a holy place
For a masterpiece of mercy; a miracle of grace
Now I’m getting ready for Heaven
Every day just makes me want to go
But the artist hasn’t stopped; He’s still painting
And when He’s finished, He will take me Home
Chorus:
A masterpiece of mercy; a miracle of grace
When the master sees one hurting
And wipes the pain away
The canvas of the artist
Becomes a holy place
For a masterpiece of mercy; a miracle of grace
The canvas of the artist
Becomes a holy place
For a masterpiece of mercy; a miracle of grace
He knew what I was when He made me
He saw the sinner I’d become
Yet He knew He had grace that could save me
His latest work of art had just begun
He started with an old dirty canvas
My sin had left me tattered, bent, and marred
Then this artist turned His light upon my sadness
And began to wash away the blackest part
When all the stains were gone He started painting
With colors that I’d never seen before
Then with joy He was ready to display me
To show the world what the Cross was for
Chorus:
A masterpiece of mercy; a miracle of grace
When the master sees one hurting
And wipes the pain away
The canvas of the artist
Becomes a holy place
For a masterpiece of mercy; a miracle of grace
Now I’m getting ready for Heaven
Every day just makes me want to go
But the artist hasn’t stopped; He’s still painting
And when He’s finished, He will take me Home
Chorus:
A masterpiece of mercy; a miracle of grace
When the master sees one hurting
And wipes the pain away
The canvas of the artist
Becomes a holy place
For a masterpiece of mercy; a miracle of grace
The canvas of the artist
Becomes a holy place
For a masterpiece of mercy; a miracle of grace
