Mosaics

I am a mosaic. I am thoughtfully and carefully crafted. There is none other exactly like me. I am made up of many pieces. Some are big and obvious, others are discrete and may go unnoticed. But my potter knows every piece. He sees the strong and beautiful pieces, and He sees the sharp, jagged, and dark pieces. He has placed each with care and a deliberate purpose. Although some pieces may not draw attention for beauty they are crucial to the whole. Every piece is necessary and important for the piece of art. Some may say, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, but I am confident to know that I am a masterpiece of the Most High, created in His image to reflect His nature. I am made of many pieces, so are you; none of us have the same two. We both portray different images and have our own purposes. Yet we are both pottery, created by the Master Craftsman. We are to show His love and the mystery of His story. I am not left on the shelf collecting dust forgotten; I am displayed with pride and joy. I am a beloved and treasured work of art.
