Character/ Worth and Value ~~BEHIND THE QUICK SKETCH ~ ~~~ By: Joni Eareckson Tada MY art instructor, an excellent craftsman, told me a compelling story about the benefits of diligent work. Many years ago there was a famour Japanese artist named Hokusai, whose paintings were coveted by royalty. One day a nobleman requested a special painting of his prized bird. He left the bird with Hokusai, and the artist told the nobleman to return in a week. The master missed his beautiful bird, and was anxious to return at the end of the week, not only to secure his favorite pet, but his painting as well. When the nobleman arrived, however, the artist humbly requested a two-week postponement. The two-week delay stretched into two months--then six. A year later, the nobleman stormed into Hokusai's studio. He refused to wait any longer and demanded both his bird and his painting. Hokusai, in the Japanese way, bowed to the nobleman, turned to his workshop table, and picked up a brush and a large sheet of rice paper. Within moments he had effortlessly painted an exact likeness of the lovely bird. The bird's owner was stunned by the painting. And then he was angry. "Why did you keep me waiting for a year if you could have done the painting in such a short time?" "You don't understand," Hokusai replied. They he escorted the nobleman into a room where the walls were covered with paintings of the same bird. None of them, however, matched the grace and beauty of the final rendering... This must also be true of the canvas of our lives....If we want to have something of real worth and lasting value in our character, it won't come easy.It never does. ~
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
