Color Motion Devotional
Same Family. Different Shades. Different Beauty.
Three crayons.
Someone looking quickly might say, "They're all just purple."
But slow down.
One is deep and bold. One is warm and vibrant. One carries a cool blue tone.
The label says "purple," but the label doesn't tell the whole story.
That's how people often see one another.
We place people into one category, one title, one label, and think we know everything about them. But God never created people to be copies. He created individuals.
Just as every crayon has its own shade, every person has their own gifts, personality, experiences, calling, and purpose.
If I ignored every purple except one, I would never discover how beautiful the others are.
The same is true with people.
When we only see labels, we miss the masterpiece.
When we slow down and allow each person to express who God created them to be, the picture becomes richer, deeper, and more beautiful.
That's one reason I draw the way I do.
Every crayon gets its turn.
No color is forgotten.
No color is considered unworthy because another one looks similar.
Every color has something to contribute.
Every color belongs.
That is how I believe people should be treated.
God doesn't ask us to become someone else.
He asks us to become who He created us to be.
A masterpiece isn't made from one color.
It's made from many.
And every one matters.
Scripture
"But now God has set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him." — 1 Corinthians 12:18 (KJV)
Reflection
Today, look beyond the label.
See the shades.
See the beauty.
See the uniqueness.
Because a label cannot see what God sees.
God sees His masterpiece.
