Our body has this defect that, the more it is provided care and comforts, the more needs and desires it finds.

A Pixel in the Painting...by Billy Blake
Preface to “A Pixel in the Painting”
“A Pixel in the Painting” is primarily about how our own life fits into the much bigger human story. I started with “Creation and the Fall of Man” to set the stage of reasoning for the current “human condition”.
I point out that even though we are weak, fallen and dysfunctional, God created us good. We are fundamentally a beautiful creation. After all God created us in His image.
I continue to point out the fact that God has at all times tried to draw us back to himself. Humanity will never be complete again until it rest in the arms of its creator.
In many ways the daily events of our lives make perfect sense when we look at our situation in the context of the much larger story. All our battles both internal and external are a result of the fall and God calling us back to Himself.
Fallen? Yes, but also fundamentally good! Be open and attentive to the promptings of God in your own life.
Could it be that the human story is but a pixel in the painting of a much larger story, waiting to be revealed by God?
