When we know the love of God, our lives are filled with beauty and vibrancy, even as rich color in a painting. We have anticipation and joy as we look forward to each new day.
But sometimes, by choices we make, the fullness and vibrancy is robbed out of our lives, and our existence becomes drab ... like watching a film on an old black-and-white TV rather than on a new color set.. By our habits, or sometimes lifestyle, we get locked into a black-and-white, lackluster state.
God wants us to have more than that... so much more. He wants us to experience His beauty in every dimension of our lives, and to have His joy in all that we do. By His love our lives will blossom into joy and will have the full, rich "color" which He creates for each of us.
"One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple."
Psalm 27:4 KJV
