What If

                                                                       What if

What if God used a different palette when painting the picture of my life?
What if He used a different brush or painted with shorter or broader strokes?
What if God chose water colors instead of oils or what if He picked a massive canvas instead of a tiny piece of cloth?

What if God selected a different instrument to play the melody of my life?  
What if He picked a string instead of a woodwind or a drum rather than a trumpet?  
What if the song He wrote was a ballad and not a march or a ragtime tune or was in the key of C rather than G…
What if His song for me had no lyrics at all?

What if God wrote a sonnet for the poem of my life? Not a limerick, ode, verse or rhyme, but a sonnet.
What if the poem had only three words? What if it had three thousand?

I spent an eternity wondering how my life would different if painted in a different color, sung in another key or written a different way. 
Then it occurred to me

God’s art is perfect
 And the beauty of my life is you.
