You did not start as a blank pallet. Though many think this is so.
A blank pallet is empty and formless. It has no beauty or ugliness, no good or evil, no character or thought. It is nothing.
You did not begin as nothing. You began as something glorious and marvelous. So beautiful one cannot stand to gaze upon you, but cannot bare to look away.
You began with so much love. So much good and potential. You began with the strength to move mountains, the power to raise the dead, and the faith to love the unlovable.
You began pure and holy with no weakness or bondage. You began as no other creation has.
You see you did not begin as a blank pallet, but as a mirror. A mirror that reflects the perfect image of God.
Unfortunately this world is not made to preserve mirrors.
As the years go by and life happens, we become smudged, scratched, weak and broken.
BUT,
There is one thing and one thing only that can restore us back to that glorious reflection of God.
GRACE.
Grace doesn't even just put us back together for there would still be cracks. Grace makes us into an entirely new mirror again. Grace allows to reflect the perfect image of God, no matter how many times life cracks us.
You were never a blank pallet. You always have been and always will be a mirror. it is up to you what you reflect.
