An appropriate frame


If you try to exhibit art at a gallery, you will soon find how important it is to have an appropriate frame or way of presentation. A bulky frame could destroy the beauty of an intricate piece of art and a thin frame might weaken a strongly expressive one, as it might look rather ridiculous. The frame has a great impact on the art work when exhibited. A good frame should not distract but rather enhance the art work.
It is always a good reminder that we are only the frame for God's awesome work in and through our lives let alone His glorious character. But since we are, doesn't an amazing painting deserve the best frame possible? A frame worthy of the painting yet humble enough to underline the master piece instead of trying to compete with it. As it says in Philippians 1:27 we should conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel. Anyways I think it is great to know that we are not the master piece but still can contribute to its presentation :) May we become the best frame possible. May we become the best version of ourselves by God's grace.
