Heart, you’ve led me astray, following your desires, chasing love where it cannot be found. So I’m giving up on you. I’m going to follow One who is faithful and who forgives. I’m tired of the disillusions you lead me to. It’s time to settle down for an illusion, a hope, that won’t disappoint.

Let God bring a new dawn to your life.
I’m still trying to produce my life’s masterpiece, that stroke of genius, that huge and beautiful work by which I may be remembered.
In the meantime, there are lots of starts and stops. I’ve thrown out the canvas a bunch of times. I’ve produced a long line of inferior works. Some of them have been good. But none of them is critically acclaimed.
Of course, I’m referring to whatever your calling may be, not just art. I myself am no artist. But I’ve compared my work serving the Lord to artistry. Am I satisfied success
with the works I’ve done to glorify Jesus? Not yet. I’ll keep working.
Don’t fret. Keep on in the right direction. Your last work will be your best and will make everybody forget the rest.
Making a masterpiece takes time.
