"If I have told you Earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you Heavenly things?"
{John 3:12}
Art is an amazing thing to try and express ideals/thoughts on two-dimensional paper/canvas. The beauty of a rose seems to always be lacking when represented on paper - even if creatively expressed with symbolic language art - as words/prose or poetry. Though words do communicate thought somewhat accurately, they can never reveal the essence of a rose nor other ideals - as love.
Yet, many keep trying to create from an innate desire to express or communicate the soul. - to be a part. The ideals of love, truth, beauty, and loyalty - are things which are intangible. To have them manifest as physical or flesh, would reduce them to something flawed. Things seen are capable of being judged as evidence. The unseen things must remain unseen in order to be perfect.
I love that God sees us as His children - creatively expressing in the same way we see our own children and love their heartfelt intent - without adult judgement of their creative works. Ideals are huge forces of perfect patterns which mirror the mind of God in Heaven. We reflect God in creative expression as His works of art. May we always regard each letter, each word in the love of God who gave us the symbolic language art to express and communicate our deepest feelings in thought - even in the letters of love from scripture. God sees the intent behind the manifestation.
".... We do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal."
{2Cor.4:18}
